Best of 2013 | Musicians' Choice Part 2

This year, we decided to ask musicians that we truly admire to pick their favorite albums of the year and name a band they’d like to get together and make a new record in 2014. Check out below the second batch of answers that we received from members of Woe, Celeste and Winterfylleth.


Chris Grigg (Woe)

What are your top 10 releases of 2013?
Unweighted for preference:
1-Beastmilk - Climax
2-Carcass - Surgical Steel
3-Chelsea Wolfe - Pain is Beauty
4-Fuck Buttons - Slow Focus
5-Gorguts - Colored Sands
6-Inter Arma - Sky Burial
7-Kanye West - Yeezus
8-My Bloody Valentine - MBV
9-Queens of the Stone Age - …Like Clockwork
10-A Wilhelm Scream - Party Crasher

What’s the best concert you have seen this year?
That's hard to say. It's a tossup between Nine Inch Nails, Kanye West, and Inter Arma while we were on tour with them. NIN were absolutely perfect and mind-blowing; Kanye was really exciting; Inter Arma were consistently breathtaking and powerful.

What band would you like to reunite and make a record in 2014?
Failure. We're half-way there, what with them announcing reunion shows in 2014, but they haven't said anything about an album. It doesn't seem out of the question!

What’s the best concert you have seen this year?

I think this was one that was a true highlight for all the Winterfylleth members, a top day having played the festival and then seeing the Maiden bring the house down at the end was a real delight.

What band would you like to reunite and make a record in 2014?
I think I’d personally like to hear what At The Gates could come up with if they did another album.
