The 2013 Best Metal Album of the Year Race Heats Up with Revolver‘s Picks

So Deafheaven are having a pretty good year, huh? First they were featured in the Apple iPhone 5c keynote, and now this:

Not really a shocking choice for Revolver, whose readership leans more towards the mainstream. But I give the magazine props for putting Deafheaven so far up on the list at all, as opposed to, like, Butcher Babies or Dakota Fanning’s band or whatever.

Bitch about Revolver‘s choices in the comments section below.
