Merzbow's Top Ten of 2010 from Art Forum

Being an extremely cultured individual I bought a highbrow art magazine from Tate Modern on my lunchbreak today. Like all magazines at this time of year it's filled with top tens. Loads of art ones in this magazine and people like John Waters doing film top tens. Not overly surprising or particularly out of the ordinary that Masami Akita (aka Merzbow) is asked to give a music rundown of 2010. I can't wait to check out these bands he's talking about like Bring Me The Horizon and Trigger The Bloodshed.

"This past year, I've only listened to and bought music that would be considered deathcore or metalcore"

 

Here's the list in full:-

1. Maroon - at ACB Hall
2. Maroon - Order
3. The Red Shore - Unconsecrated
4. Trigger The Bloodshed - The Great Depression
5. Veil Of Maya - [Id]
6. Chelsea Grin - Desolation of Eden
7. Son Of Aurelius - The Farthest Reaches
8. Burning The Masses - Offspring Of Time
9. Wrath and Rapture - Wrath and Rapture
10. Bring Me The Horizon - at Studio Coast, Tokyo
