Too Soon? Anso DF’s Best Of 2016 … So Far

Hello MetalSucks reader! For the 46th time since metal’s birth, the month of June is here! That means the first sustained hot weather of the year, a drastic increase of visual access to tight bods, the NBA finals, LGBT pride month, and Prince’s birthday. It also signals the halfway point of our year of heavy music! To consider the most riveting albums so far — the ones most likely to rank among the best of 2016 in six months — you might most trust your metal buds who experience every freaking album every damn year. That’s the team behind the MetalSucks new releases weekly Shit That Comes Out Today (catch up here), no big whoop. Crank this shit up!
