Cathedral Announce Final Show! crustcake - METAL BLOG: NEWS, REVIEWS, INTERVIEWS, MP3s AND MORE The Obelisk: FEATURE: The Top 20 of 2011 Please note: This list is made up of my personal picks, not the results of the Readers Poll, which is ongoing — if you haven’t added your top 11 to that yet, please do.
