He’s our Chilean connection! The brother with all the goods! And he has been with us for ages and has been a steady contributor to not only the Doom Charts, but also La Habitacion 235, and well, of course we all know he’s the main man for Red House Producciones since 2016. We’re talking about Roberto Fuentes! If you need the lowdown on whatever is brewing in the South American Heavy Underground, Roberto is your man! And below you find his favorite albums of 2022…
“Friends and readers of the Doom Charts:
A new year ends and with it comes the best devastating hard rock music albums.
This top 20 is a brief demonstration of the creative force that was unleashed this year. With you our best albums of the year!
PS: Special congratulations to two Chilean bands that have forged two great works this year: Humanotone and Luxferre.”
