20 Best Hard Rock & Heavy Metal Albums Of 2016
14. Take Over And Destroy - Take Over And Destroy
Black metal and classic rock. Not a lot in common, right?
Well, that is unless you’re a fan of Take Over and Destroy. The self-professed "black n' roll" four-piece did the impossible in 2016, not only mixing two insanely different styles, but somehow making it work. Like I said when I first heard this masterpiece back in October, this is an album that feels like a horror film, with clean, suspenseful moments like "Bring Me the Rope" and "Out of Frame" contrasting whole-heartedly with the energetic, action-packed "By Knife" and "Let Me Grieve".
Take Over and Destroy is doubtlessly enigmatic, and if you love either black metal or old-school rock, you need to hear it.
