2005 Eric Paradox Concert Awards
Body: I've seen so much great shit this year it's incomprehensible. If I had the time and willpower to bore you all with stellar reviews of each show, trust me, I would. top 5 though, I think...

1. Kreator
2. Judas Priest/Anthrax
3. Shai Hulud/Converge
4. Municipal Waste
5. MDF (namely Birdflesh and General Surgery)

most intense performance: Shai Hulud... lost a tooth and split open an eyebrow. still got bruises.
most brutal: Suffocation... a brutal award is lame but it's true.
most otherworldly/disturbing: Merzbow
worst dudebitches: Dillinger/BTBAM/Horse The Band
most laughs: Of Montreal
best outfit: Sabbat
