THE BEAST OF 2016!
These year end lists are all subjective opinion of course. Here's what got the speakers cranking at Hand of Doom HQ this year. What an incredible year for the riff. Thank you to all the bands out there that have created the lifesblood! In order to make some sense of it all I have made two lists, one for all the darker more grim gear, and one for the more heavy blues/psych/stoner side of the tracks. Dead certain there are hundreds more gems out there that have eluded my speakers this year, I'll hunt you down from all the other year end wrap ups out there \m/ Hope you find something new to you here!
ENJOY!
