Top 36 best records of 2014, according to Converge’s Nate Newton

Nate Newton has already recorded a lot of great records, including some of my favorites of all time. Since 2012, things got even better and more productive since he’s recording at least one amazing album each year.

Just to remember: All We Love We Leave Behind, with Converge, in 2012, Grand Blood, with Doomriders, in 2013, and the two (or three?) The Ape of God albums with Old Man Gloom this year – besides playing bass on the last Cavalera Conspiracy one.

For all that, it’s more than necessary to know what Nate has been listening to this year. So I asked him to tell me his favorite records of 2014 – Note: he later posted this list on the Converge FB a few weeks ago.

As you can imagine (or can’t?) by his bands, Nate listens to a lot of really different stuff and the list includes since more metal and obvious stuff, like his own OMG and the legends At the Gates and Godflesh, and even names like Lana Del Rey and First Aid Kit, including a Sarah Silverman standup show.

Check it out:

Old Man Gloom – The Ape Of God (I have no shame, it rules.)
Old Man Gloom – The Ape Of God (I still have no shame, this one rules too)
