A rich and provocative year, 2010 meant the release of many new albums from the relevant names from the gothic, industrial and electro scenes, but also the discovery of new artists, that come, layer upon layer of sound, to further enlarge the musical spectrum, reconsider the influences, and at the same time remain under the non-mainstream cone of light.
Below you can find a fine selection of 2010 albums, EP’s, best-of’s and singles Viva Music recommends to the connoisseur, as well as to the novice to our scene:
