SWANS – Brooklyn Masonic Temple (and actually one of the best shows in my almost 30 years of life!!)

Best Song of 2010:

Nachtmystium – No Funeral (Yes, I know the album was at the bottom of my list, but I feel this song really pushed the boundaries of how metal can be conceived, especially since it really polarized the metal community.)
