Best of 2018

4) Owl - Nights of Distortion


Zeitgeister... That's all. I love these German gentlemen and their various projects. I haven't seen Owl on any other Top 10's this year and I'm not terribly surprised. Ever since Valborg's Barbarian I am caught in the vortex that is the Zeitgeister label. I can't help loving their approach to music. It brashly raises a middle finger to convention and comes from somewhere unknown. I mentioned lists and lists ago that I have no idea what their influences are and I still don't. The musicians that keep Zeitgeister money'd are from a different place. And this is what I value most in music, the courage to forget the conventions of this world and create a new existence from nothing but blood, sweat, and bile.
