16:22 - VileVick

I wouldn't even say the list is much of a hot take, more like predictable if anything. A lot of popular picks with classics at the top. That happens in a lot of top metal list.

14:30 - IronAngel

In bullshit news: just noticed Crypt Sermon coming to Finland for the first time, and the show is on the SAME NIGHT as Tyranny/Arche/Baron. Way to split the small doomster target demographic. CS is twice the price but w/e.

12:04 - Oreshkov

@IronAngel agreed, I think they peaked with Hunted.

11:05 - ANGEL REAPER

and yet you write neither :D I sometimes feel like Champollion :D [link]

10:56 - Bad English

I spesk west cost accent and glasswegian

10:13 - ANGEL REAPER

@ScreamingSteelUS honest question: are you English or humanities major perhaps? Because I do remember you writing in simpler English some 15 years ago :D Also can you reach out to K7 if you are? :D

09:51 - corrupt

Especially on ad-heavy sites I cannot help being dubious of hot takes like weird lists. At the end of the day most of the internet is engangement bait. Any weird entry might get people to share the list to complain. More ad clicks
