Pagan's Mind - The Celestine Propecy

I sense a strong Conception influence here. Also I really dig the in-your-face chorus you just can't ignore.

Actually I am listening to the same song, haha.

Magic Circle - Rapture

Best doom album of the year, listen to it people.

Electric Wizard - We Live

Never get tired of this. Thank you Liz, you helped add an amazing flavor to the band!!!

Krallice - Diotima

I actually have never listened to this album in full. I need to remedy that sometime.

Gargoyle - Mandara no Tami, off Future Drug

Some damn weird stuff, but in a cool way.

Castle - Venus Pentagram

Not too often you here a girl rocking bass and singing in a classic heavy/doom band! Gotta love this stuff. Super solid. Just found out about a band that got together in 2012 from Massachussets along the same vein called Second Grave, but their vocalist plays guitar and sings. Also a lady!!

Infestus - Der Blick hinaus

Mesmirising and bleak black metal. One of Germany's finest.

These bands are very good indeed, I reviewed both of them if you're interested. I believe my review for Second Grave's new EP is the first one for the release too! (on my blog) I really like female fronted doom. The best band is probably Witch Mountain and you should check out Mourn (proto mum doom metal)

NP: Dream Theater - Enigma Machine. I really like the new DT but then I'm a fanboy! There's some cool Rush inspired riffs here, awesome!

Illdisposed - Four Depressive Seasons

Draconian - The Apostasy Canticle, from Arcane Rain Fell

Fantastic album.

Heaven and Hell - The Devil You Know

I think this is only, like, the second or third time I've listened to this album in its entirety ... Hm, should probably change that.

Edited for a single typo.

Master-Witchhunt.Return to the roots for the death legends.Crushing!

Excruciate - Passage of life

Swe death at its best

Alastis - Just Law

Thou - Tyrant

Go Louisiana!!

Funeral - This Barren Skin, from From These Wounds

Just got this album a couple weeks ago, and despite some of the lyrics being a little goofy I really wish I would've picked this one up sooner.

Scanner - The Challenge

Each time I spin one of their first two albums my love for them grows a little bit. Almost flawless earworm music, not terribly "ambitious"/sophisticated but very, very well crafted.

Pantokrator - Act

Devil - Crazy Woman

Love this old school sound!! HAIL!!!

September IV from (2011) Ulver - Wars of the Roses.
REALLY digging this album lately.

Gasljus - Vengeful Gods Of Yore (recommend this to everybody)

queued: Thergothon - both albums (never heard these)

Hinsidig - I en Tidlos Host

This is one hell of an album. Quite traditional Norwegian Black Metal with great melodies and vocals

King Crimson - Discipline

Fiddling around with the tracklist again.

Atheist - On They Slay

How fucking good is this? Classic.

Wolves in the Throne Room - Behold the Vastness and Sorrow

USBM is good too! Especially when it's not about vikings or Satan!

Verdunkeln - Die Saat Der Klinge

This is one of those rare bands that I can listen to in any mood and situation.

I should try this.

Shallow from (2008) Lifelover - Konkurs.
Third Lifelover album in a row: (2006) Lifelover - Pulver, (2007) Lifelover - Erotik and, now, (2008) Lifelover - Konkurs.

Asphyxia - Exit Reality

Grave - Endless Procession of Souls
I actually love this album more than any of their earlier albums.

Constantine - Divine Design

Exciting and energetic. More people should know of this great progressive metal band.

Grave Miasma - Odori Sepulcrorum.
This album pretty much blew my expectations out of the water, it combines the best elements of their two EPs and adds loads more atmosphere and memorable songs. Seriously check this out if you haven't yet, it was definitely worth the long wait.

Vader - The Black Eye

I remember not being wowed by this when it came out - not sure what I was thinking because this rapes and pillages everything. Except Litany, anyway.

Asmegin - Over Ægirs Vidstragte Sletter.

If there's one guy whose vocals are epic in inmense proportions, he is Lars Nedland. Man, those cleans are epic and 'nordic' as fuck. While I'm a Solefald and Borknagar fan, I think this is his best job ever.

Borknagar's Epic has some insane backing vocals too, like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... A3KQYt6a2U )

el-Ethnic Legist- "アスタルテ"

Not even sure what genre this or how to describe this. Egyptian-themed mix of J-rock, folk, and power metal I guess... fairly weird/unique sounding too.

Excelsis - Beginning of the End

Cadaveric Fumes - Macabre Exaltation.

This is just a sick slab of Death Metal awesomeness. Incredible demo.
I can't wait to hear a full length from these guys.

Death Yell - Morbid Rites

Darkspace - Dark Space III

Like being suffocated in space. Nothing but desolation and emptiness as you float through the universe. Hopefully the only thing out there is a cool looking comet and the fourth instalment of this series.
