X-CRASH REDAKTIONSPOLL 2024

Unser Jahresrückblick:

Auch für das vergangene Jahr wagen wir einen Rückblick auf unsere favorisierten Veröffentlichungen. Um es kurz zu machen: Die Newcomer von AMETHYST sind unsere Favoriten im Jahr 2024, und zwar mit einem bei uns nie dagewesenen Abstand auf die Zweitplatzierten. Die Eidgenossen haben mit sechs Stimmen alle anderen deutlich hinter sich gelassen.

JUDAS PRIEST, SAXON, MECHANIC TYRANTS, TRAVELER und IRON CURTAIN kommen erst als nächstes mit je drei Punkten. Zweimal vertreten waren BRUCE DICKINSON, SATAN, INTÖXICATED, TOXIKULL, ATTACKER, BLITZKRIEG, SAVAGE OATH, BLOOD INCANTATION, HELLBUTCHER, NASTY SAVAGE und CHAPEL Of DISEASE.

Wir wünschen euch für das neue Jahr viel Spaß mit neuen Veröffentlichungen und unsere X-CRASH Meinung dazu. Der Untergrund lebt! Wir wünschen alles Gute und viel Gesundheit im neuen Jahr!
