The Countdown so far...

The Countdown so far...

Later on, after the clock strikes twelve and this fucked up year of 2016 finally ends, we will know what the best album of 2016 is according to 76 of you lovely freaks out there who had the time and energy to send their list to us. We thank you once again, cause without you fellow freaks in the HiVe this could not be possible. It has been a wonderful year for new stoner affiliated music, without any question. So, in that respect it was a good year. But it wasn’t in every other possible way. The bands that made this year great were all featured on the Stoner HiVe Countdown of 2016. But ofcourse you guys voted for so many more great albums. Some of which we will post as well when 2017 has commenced. Let’s all pray and hope that it will be a good year. And not just for our beloved little niche of heavy music but for everything and everyone else as well! But before we tear up or start professing our love for this or that, let’s run through the countdown and prepare to let all of you know who produced the Number 1 album according to 76 or you out there!
