An’ lemme jus’ say: Fuck December 21st in it’s ass. Ain’t no ‘pocalypse, mutha’ fuckas.
Man, there were way to many good albums released this year. I listened to as many as I could but there were some that I just couldn’t get to. There are also some that I listened to, just not enough for them to make my final list. I can’t let this slide, however and I want to give a shout out to new releases by Marty Friedman, The Mars Volta, Birds In Row, Code Orange Kids, Downfall Of Gaia and Krallice. I really wish I could have settled down to check these albums out in full, but I just couldn’t get down to do it.
Before we get to my actual list I would like to thank each and every one of you readers. Without you, I honestly probably would have given this up a long time ago. Sure, on this site I give my opinion on music, but it is really you guys/gals that count. I don’t know how I could repay you all for visiting American Aftermath these past two years. You have really made it worth while. Even the haters who talked shit, I appreciate you fucks also.
In the first quarter of the year 
Ever since I first heard the name Everything Went Black I knew this band was going to be important. They just have that edge to them. Before the release of their debut full-length Cycles Of Light I was already loving the band and their split with Rattletooth is still in heavy rotation around the American Aftermath HQ. There is just something about their brand of dark, crushing hardcore that I fucking love. 
Wow. Those were the first words uttered by me when I was introduced to Everything Went Black. I came to love this band very, very quickly (my review of their debut record will be posted tomorrow) and I believe it deserves to be this weeks Album of The Week. Yeah, I know. The Album of The Week hasn’t been updated for a while. As it turns out, all of the staff wanted to do it, but no one did. So it just sat there. Fuck it. Everything Went Black. Cycles of Light. Get into it because you have to. Cycles Of Light is available now via Prosthetic Records.
You guys know I have been all over
