Clutch are hugely popular. I wasn't feeling it most of the year but have warmed to it somewhat.

That Mammoth Grinder is so good. I usually don't go for the crustier stuff but between the album art, the reverberant spookiness in the production, and some of those lead guitar lines, I feel like I'm listening to a crusty death metal version of In the Nightside Eclipse.

True Widow, on the other hand, are great on record but SUPER boring live (especially if they go on after midnight).

Yes big thanks to Kim from me too, and I think it got an early mention on the rolling grind thread so thanks to that person too, Moksha came in really late and snuck really high up my list.
Also my contribution to the impromptu Cloud Rat awareness campaign, it was hard to find but the band themselves put the album up for free digital download via link on their site:
http://cloudrat.blogspot.com/p/discography-lyrics.html
scroll down to the Moksha section at the bottom and there's a mediafire link.

^ now that's a fucking album cover
Didn't vote for much, but I did vote for Batillus (love the control and restraint in their aggression, kinda reminds me of the Swans) and Hey Colossus (some heavy Can vibes on that thing eh?). Have been a bit wary of that Raspberry Bulbs record cos just about everything else I've heard on Blackest Ever Black has been a no contest triumph of style over substance, but I guess this is my cue to give it a whizz.
