Best album, song, gig of 2003

best album- Overkill "Killbox 13"- just another great (they've had better, but no one came close this year) album by one of the best Thrash bands of all time, that's perhaps even more underrated than Testament

best song- Devil By The Tail (but I could easily name 4 or 5 other songs from this album that fit here)

best gig- The No Mercy Festival in Vienna (what a line-up: TESTAMENT, DEATH ANGEL, NUCLEAR ASSAULT, PRO-PAIN, DARKANE, DIE APOKALYPTISCHE REITER and last and least fucking MARDUK, who didn't fit the company at all and could just carry the gear for the weakest of the other bands), 03.2004 and TESTAMENT in Warsaw, 08 2004.

biggest hope for 2004- duh, it's kinda obvious, although I also wait impatiently for the new Exo and Death Angel

biggest dream for 2004- Testament and Overkill touring together (or with Exodus) and a non-delayed release of the new T record (but these will prolly remain only dreams)

Best album: Puppet Master, King Diamond. I truly believe it's the best of the year... still can't get enough of it!

Best song: Very hard to choose... Ravenous Beast by Destruction slays, Darkness by King Diamond comes close... Then there is, like Pyrus said, Pashendale... God... song is hard to choose

Best Gig: Well... Seeing testament with Annihilator in Speyer Germany rocked like no other but I have to admit that the best gig of 2003 and my whole life was Helloween in montreal! Jag Panzer sucked major cocks though...

Most anticipated releases of 2004: Death Angel, Metal Church and Testament ...

Most anticipated tours of 2004: I'd like to see Annihilator... Testament... Death Angel... I don't know It's hard cuz all the bands I'd like to see couldn't possibly tour together cuz there you be to many deaths in the pits... Could anyone survive a gig where you see one after the other the following?

Nevermore
Testament
Annihilator
Exodus
Death Angel
