Cannibal Corpse – As Deep As the Knife Will Go

I feel like this could be the spiritual successor to Fucked with a Knife.

Black Destiny - Carnival of Fate, off In Neo Noir

Intense, dark power metal. Nothing quite like this out there.

Ehh, depends. It's a lot different. The guitars aren't quite as heavy or dominating at in the original, but it's a lot more folky with actual choirs this time around, instead of the synth-choirs. So that's a plus. The drum programming sounds better as well. So eh. Hard to say since both sound so different, yet both are great versions. I do really like the heaviness of the original recording, but the new one is also great in its folkier way. You could say it sounds more like a typical Graveland album now.
I'd recommend giving it a listen at least. I think Rob is one of the better musicians out there when it comes to the often hit-or-miss art of rerecording.

Ok, thanks!

Deathspell Omega - Inquisitors of Satan
I've always really enjoyed this album alot, and sometimes it seems like alot of people I talk to feel as though it is lackluster. I don't know man, it's been a favorite since the first time I listened to it.

I really dig that era of DsO. Sure it's Darkthrone worship or whatever, but Inquisitors has some seriously killer riffs.

I'll have to check it out.

VI - Of Wolf And Passion from (1997) Ulver - Nattens Madrigal (The Madrigal Of The Night).
Finishing the 3 albums of the trilogie in a row. AMAZING music!

Manipulated Slaves "The River Without End"

I was a bit apprehensive spending around $15 for a 3 song EP, but fortunately the last song turned out being 23 minutes long (divided over 6 parts).

It's my favourite era from them too. The splits with Moonblood and Clandestine Blaze from that time are also great. The Darkthrone influence is heavy, but it has its own feeling, a different kind of coldness, sort of danker, the sound of catacombs rather than forests.

Just finished listening to Alien by Strapping Young Lad. Been a year or so since I had a big SYL kick, the drums on this record never fail to amaze, and Dev's vocals are splendid.

Agalloch-The Astral Dialogue

The "actual" songs of the album sound great, too bad that they album drowns with too many instrumentals.

Sxuperion - Through Cosmic Corridors

Some good riffs can be found here but the almost totally nonexistent drums and the hilariously bad production sucks away any enjoyment to be had whatsoever

Sadus - Black

I've always felt that Sadus take thrash to it's natural conclusion; the fastest, wildest and most frantic side of the genre. I got really into Sadus about a year ago, listened to all of their records a few times, and then neglected them continuously until the last few months, in which I've discovered them much more "properly".

Fatal Mutiny - "Bloodlust" from Existence in Extinction

Some very competent thrash metal. This a definite contender as one of my favorite releases from 2014.

Revocation - 'A Debt Owed to the Grave'

First track from the new album and I'm getting a slight TBDM vibe from it. Still, a very good song.

Anaal Nathrakh - A Firm Foundation of Unyielding Despair

I can't even bring myself to be particularly disappointed by this album... so far it's been so thoroughly insipid that it would be like trying to get angry at a plate of unseasoned pasta. It just sort of... happens.

What if the band actually intended to make a terrible album to break down the morale of their fan base? Seriously though, that track was the one song I saw off the album listing that made me think "even if this does turn out to be a Reroute To Remain take on blackened grindcore, there's no way a song with that title could suck" and after a couple listens.. it stinks. The two songs I kinda panned over the first time turned out to be the only two solid tracks on the album; the Joystream and Rage and Red both have some cool chorus parts, though there's still a fucking breakdown somewhere in both of em. Fuck you, Metal Blade. I won't forget this.

Depths of Hatred - Unholy Incursion
I didn't realize this band had a new album out, so far it's pretty much exactly the same as Aversionist. Lots of technical death riffs with some slight core undertones and Black Dahlia Murder melody parts.

Sonata Arctica - Blank File

Exactly what I like out of my power metal. Ultra fast, melodic, goofy, and fun.

Devin Townsend Project - Sky Blue

Absolutely worth the wait. Just what I was hoping for. I'm getting really sick of people saying, "Ooooh man, it sounds too much like Epicloud." Who gives a fuck, man? First of all, that was a great album, secondly, maybe that's just what he feels like writing? More Epicloud-esque is totally cool in my books.

Scald - Will of the Gods Is a Great Power

Tired with Scythian's To Those Who Stand Against Us as my favourite album of all time. No matter how much I listen to it, the magic is still there and the shivers continue to tickle my spine.

Pretty much a timeless classic in my book.

Aequus Nox - Scala Paradisi

I was a little apprehensive towards this album, but these guys are good.
Its a nice under-produced black metal album gives off this really melancholic vibe but manages to stay far from DSBM territory

Devin Townsend (Project) - Sky Blue.

This is really good. Poppy, upbeat, and just all around a solid album. What I've heard from the Ziltoid portion - Disc 2 / 3 - was not good. It sounded bloated and formed on silliness (no shit). Lasting impact was not long whatsoever while Sky Blue has been on heavy rotation.

John Taverner - The Myrrh Bearer

It would be great quiet, eery atmospheric music if it wasn't for the crass contrast of the recurring loud choral sections. I think they disturb the mood and don't really add all that much most of the time.

Ancient VVisdom - Sacrificial

Remember these guys? Largely acoustic... oh wait, hang the fuck on, their new album is more or less a metal record; sort of doom-influenced rocking alternative sort of stuff. That came out of left field. It sounds cool, but it's a massive, massive departure.

Spectral Lore - "The Cold March Towards Eternal Brightness"

That heroic sounding outro is so catchy. Highlight of the album.

This song is a masterpiece. A stunning piece of music that is one of the greatest metal songs ever written.

Krypts - Dormancy of the Ancients

Spinning in the car while waiting for the other half to finish work. Very cool album, with loads of crushing, decaying, doomy presence about it. Is good...

Defeated Sanity - Fatal Self-Inflicted Disfigurement

I feel DS should do a complete cover of Suffocation's debut, that album's formula with this album's production, voila; the perfect album.

What a great album. Such a cool sound to his music. Wunder definitely showed who had the chops in Cobalt (McSorley's new project Recluse is unremarkable).


Midnight - Evil Like a Knife

One of the most fun records I've spun all year. Punchy, black-tinged speed metal goodness.

Cavalera Conspiracy - Cramunhão

I had kinda seen this coming, but this isn't a really good album after all. Far too basic, such a disappointment. Their debut still owns, though.
