#19. Wolves at the Gate - LAW OF THE (Waste) LAND
Title: LAW OF THE (Waste) LAND
Artist: Wolves at the Gate
Album: Wasteland
Spoiler alert: The theme of this year is heavier music, and it begins with Wolves at the Gate, making their first appearance on the Countdown. I had listened to other WatG albums before, but nothing truly hit me as hard as this one did, and it definitely was one of my favorite records of the year. LAW OF THE (Waste)LAND is a groovier track that still packs the punch of songs like SYNTHETIC SUN and PARASITE. Top to bottom, this album will rattle your bones and shake your neck off its moorings.
Favorite Line: "It's time to break it down - Another victim of the thoughtless self-defining truths that we throw around. Another victim for the lawless. We play judge, jury, executioner. Watch out, kill or be killed, cause everybody does what's right in their own eyes"
