BestOfSoFar

What the hell happened to this year? We're already over halfway through 2014 and it flew by. But in that seemingly short period of time, all kinds of musical greatness has emerged from the ever churning world of metal. We're talking about the kind of music that makes beards grow. The kind of heaviness that makes store shelves collapse. The kind of aural pleasure that would make a grown man cry.

In celebration of this, The Circle Pit team presents our Best Of 2014 (So Far)!
