DutchMetalManiac End of the Year Lists 2019

Hey DutchMetalManiac readers,

First I want to thank all of you for reading our articles and I hope you will also enjoy our upcoming posts! 🙂

I also want to thank DutchMetalManiac’s current writers Glenn, Julia, Henric, Martijn and Alessandro as well as our former writers.

Furthermore I also want to thank all the bands, labels, promoters and venues that we’ve worked with or will work with in the future, because without them there would be no DutchMetalManiac.

Personally I also want to thank everybody around me for supporting me and DutchMetalManiac.

As always around the end of the year you’ll find our end of the year lists of 2019 below.

We’ll have a short break from now on and we will be back on January 7th for a very heavy 2020! \m/

I hope you enjoy our end of the year lists and I hope to see you back next year.

Merry Xmas and a happy new year with a lot of metal to all of you!

\m/
