Hayduke’s Top 50 of 2018
What a year it’s been! There is no way a top 50 album is enough to truly express the fantastic year of music that was 2018. Nevertheless, check it out, comment, agree, argue, enjoy!

Spearhead – Pacifism is Cowardice
some battlefield somewhere in the history of mankind, bodies strewn as far as the eye can see, the sun baking the littered corpses and making mere silhouettes of the circling vultures as they wheel around tirelessly above. You can almost feel it’s heat and smell the stench, it’s that good.

Master – Vindictive Miscreant
The trio are individually masters of their craft, but also well schooled in composition. Every piece fits as it should in this old school thrashing death masterpiece.
Scorched – Ecliptic Butchery
Hearing this new album confirms what I theorized then, that Scorched is capable of becoming the new face of American death metal.
Morgue Walker – Forage the Ash
If you like your death metal blackened, grinding and filthy, this one’s for you!
Grog – Macabre Requiems
massive riffs, guttural growls and gut churning insanity
