Sleep the Sleep of the Angels- Rotting Christ
Would? (Alice In Chains cover)- Opeth
Initio Silentium Noctis -Sacrilege
Axiom-Akercocke

Muga - Spirit of The Island

ナガトロニクス - The Abundant Lights High (Mirrorized)

Blind Guardian - Another Stranger Me

One of the catchiest metal songs ever.

Uncle Slam - Weirdo Man

Symphony X - When All is Lost

Now this is how you do a ballad, ladies and gentlemen.

Voivod - Mechanical Mind, off the upcoming Target Earth

FINALLY got around to listening to this and..... I'm really fucking impressed. Old school Voivod at it's best, goddamnit!

artillery by inheritance

this album just gets better with every listen.

I've been in in a big thrash metal mood lately.

hour of penance: paradogma

Circa Survive - Living Together

Really love the guitar, and vocal melodies.

decaying purity: the existence of infinite agony.

ive been digging the brutal death metal lately.

The Magnetic Fields - Andrew in DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG

Threshold - Slipstream

I'm gonna pull an Xlxlx here, because everyone needs to hear this. Beautiful, fluent progressive excellence.

Erkan Oğur - Gülün Kokusu Vardı. If you're interested on more traditional mid eastern music, give it a try.

Well, that's pretty cool, most definitely. Catchy, melodic, muscular, varied..... It has it all. Don't know what to think about those harsh vocals though. They aren't bad at all, but I could do without them.....

I'm usually not a fan of harsh vocals mixed in with music that otherwise doesn't call for them, but I don't know. These guys just click with me.

Threshold - Hollow

Cynic - Textures

Soul Abduction Ceremony from (2002) Xasthur - Nocturnal Poisoning.
Just because of the One Man Black Metal Documentary thread.
Incredibly catchy!

I love that album.

Helloween - The Departed

In my recent listenings in the last week or two, I've come to the conclusion that Andi Deris is one of the top five or six metal singers currently working today. Damn is he good. He can literally do anything, from expressive emotional ballads to harsh metal tunes to weird, crooning experimental stuff, and it all sounds good. Plus he has a huge, larger than life voice with a ton of charisma - he's just amazing and new Helloween is easily better than their 80s stuff. Can't agree with anyone who says otherwise.

Yeah, I never understood why Deris-era Helloween got as much flak as it does. He's a fantastic vocalist, and they released one of their best albums (Gambling With the Devil) with him at the front.

Synful Ira - Behind the Suspect

Nothing too groundbreaking here. Just a nice little poppy gothic metal outfit.

I'm convinced that Keepers III is the best one of all of them now. That one has grown on me a ton lately. Just an insta-classic.

BUT BUT BUT IT WASN'T MADE IN THE 80S AND AND AND AND AND IT'S ANDY DERIS

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH WE DON'T LIKE ANDY DERIS NO WE DON'T

The funniest thing to me is when people say it doesn't hold true to the spirit of the original Keeper albums, which had epic length songs, a ballad or two, fast songs with catchy choruses, comedic songs and some anthemic concert songs...all things that Keepers III has, along with the typical wit and wry humor they had back in the 80s too. So what's the difference? No Kai Hansen and no Michael Kiske. Big deal.

Bathory - Call From The Grave

this fucking riff

People who shit on Deris era Helloween with no better reason than Hansen and/or Kiske being out of the band should have their testicles chopped off.

Blind Guardian - Ride into Obsession, off At the Edge of Time

One of the better tracks from this record (which I like a lot, though not as much as when I bought it).

Dark Tribe - In Jeraspunta.

Nyctoptic's excellent review seems way off the mark after a long break with this album.

Black Funeral - The Floating Blue Witchlight

One of the best BM from USA, just perfect.

Teenage Bottlerocket - Bitchface

This song amuses me every time I hear it.

Paradox - Crusader's Revenge

despondency: revelation IV

Ignivomous
Anatomia

Birds Of Prey - The Hellpreacher - Juvie

Unfathomable Ruination

Gojira - The Axe

Powerful lyrics and song. Easily one of my favorite Gojira songs written to date.

Autopsy - Macabre Eternal

It's been a quite a night. I've been watching some old documentary about tribal african culture called magnu nuda with the video turned all the way down while listening to metal.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twFWLFJDcDI
So far tonight I have listened to Rippikoulu, Ghost (poland), flotsam and jetsam (debut), funereal, disastrous murmur (debut), iniquity (serenadium). Ripping corpse, Insanity (death after death).
I don't even want to go to bed, but it's like 10:39pm. I could just listen to music all night. I have to stop eventually

My buddy just let me borrow

Hellvetron - Death Scroll of Seven Hells and Its Infernal Majesties

Coldworld - Melancholie2

Ah, yes, I get that feeling, too! Where I want to listen to everything I have. Nice choices with Ripping Corpse and Iniquity.


Cool! I haven't listened to this one in a little while for whatever reason but I do like it. I have the previous EP, too.

Binah - Hallucinating In Resurrecture

First listen and I'm wildly impressed. Another reincarnation of dirty death metal but this one sounds like it's catchy in all the right places. I can feel this one getting many listens in the near future! It could be a favourite of 2012, but too early to say just yet.

Havayoth - Wounds.
