Pass The Mic: Record Labels and Artists on 2010

Dwid Hellion (Integrity, Roses Never Fade, Holy Terror Records)

What are your top five albums that were released in 2010? (In order 1-5)
  1. Gehenna/BTF split
  2. Kriegshog "War For Peace"
  3. Armour s/t
  4. Danzig "Deth Red Sabaoth"
  5. Charles Manson "Air"
What band did you discover in 2010 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? What made them significant?

Blind Willie Johnson. Playing guitar with a knife.

How will you remember 2010? (In terms of music)

By the records that I have released.

With more and more bands switching to digital methods of releasing music and communicating with audiences in 2010, do you think there's still a place for physical CDs and word-of-mouth shows in the future?

the Compact Disc format does not hold much interest for me.

What can we look forward to from you in 2011?

TDON records is releasing a hardbound book that I wrote and illustrated and it also comes with an Integrity/Rot In Hell split 7", and I have several other projects I am working on.

What three records are you looking forward to most in 2011?
  1. G.I.S.M. 'Detestation' & 'M.A.N.' remastered and unreleased tracks
  2. Parasite 10"
  3. D-clone/System Fucker split 7"
