So what inspired this year?
There's been a lot of interesting albums this year, and after a thorough listen to all of them throughout the year, here's what my Top 10 formed up to be: 1. Satyricon - Satyricon 2. Skinny Puppy - Weapon 3. Rotting Christ - Κατά τον δαίμονα εαυτού 4. Dark Tranquillity - Construct 5. Witherscape - The Inheritance 6. Front Line Assembly - Echogenetic 7. Dream Theater - Dream Theater 8. Amorphis - Circle 9. James Labrie - Impermanent Resonance 10. Funker Vogt - Companion In Crime Are they an indication for the upcoming releases of Vortech? Hard to say, but in any case, they will prove to be a good listen! We just finished an extensive rehearsal period with the band, and altogether we played probably 6 - 7 hours total. Everything's grooving nicely, and we are thinking of doing a live performance in 2014 - finally! Mikko is just about ready with all the vocals, so soon it's time to release the new releases, too! It's been a slightly longer schedule than I had hoped for, but it's better to be meticulous for the style the new releases represent...
