Guitarist Adam Zaars, of Sweden’s TRIBULATION, sent in the following comments about winning our BEST OF 2013 poll: "Although it was never the goal it’s nice to see that people appreciate our art. In some ways it gives us a boost to expand even further since it’s always a good thing to have an audience to share your work with. We can more and more see the advantages of that creative spark that can be ignited through active exchange with an audience. I guess you should all prepare for something very different again in the future."
