Ci siamo, anche questa volta la redazione di Metallus.it si riunisce in modo virtuale per stilare la classifica personale delle proprie preferenze e delle bocciature per il 2021 che volge al termine. Rispetto agli anni scorsi abbiamo modificato leggermente la voce relativa al concerto migliore visto quest’anno, e abbiamo incluso anche (purtroppo, è il caso di dire, ma tant’è) i concerti in streaming, per chi li ha voluti seguire. Alcuni, per fortuna, hanno segnalato il concerto migliore visto di persona.
I nomi delle band migliori spaziano come sempre, e si va dagli intramontabili Iron Maiden a band italiane come Drakkar e Blind Golem, ma non mancano nomi appartenenti a generi più estremi come Carcass e At The Gates. Per quanto riguarda i flop, la rosa dei nomi è più circoscritta, ma Moonspell e Steven Wilson sono tra i più citati.
Non vi diciamo altro, ma vi invitiamo a consultare gli elenchi di ciascuno di noi e a commentare a vostro piacimento.
Auguri per uno splendido 2022!
(Anna Minguzzi)
