Angel Dust - Enjoy, off Enlighten the Darkness

I love this song, but for some reason, the verse riff always makes me think of wrestling music.

Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Stars

elysian blaze: blood geometry

wow this is some good shit.

It only gets funnier every time I hear it.

Cormorant - Metazoa (listening to for the second time through).

Sometimes aggressive vocals sound a little out of place on top of the mellow parts. I guess it kind of reminds me of skeletonwitch's newest album (the green cover one) in how it blends black metal with melodic thrash. It's kind of the same here, but I think it got a little over ambitious. Enjoyable nonetheless. the bass reminds me of exivious.

Van Canto - A Storm to Come

The last minute and a half is nothing short of glorious.

The Faceless - Planetary Duality

Great song. Actually that entire album is great!

I'm currently listening to Iron Bird - Metsanvaltias
It basically sounds like bastardized Bathory and Falkenbach with traces of Manowar and Virgin Steele. Odd combo to say the least.

Skepticism - Antimony

This is a great one. If The Faceless go in the direction of Autotheism from now on, Planetary Duality will be their last good album. Also the opener "Prison Born" reminds me of War Of The Worlds.

Beyond Terror Beyond Grace - Nadir

Yeah, this is still excellent. Dissonant death metal with lots of drum fills. Got to be in my top 5 or more this year.

One of my favorite tunes on that album along with "The One You Are."

Wintersun - Land of Snow and Sorrow

Actually a little better than I thought it would be, and better than the corny kiddie-metal of the first album too. Not great but...not bad.

Judas Priest - Cathedral Spires

My favorite Ripper-era Priest song.

Drottnar - Welterwerk

Cold, sterile, dissonant black metal that's really unlike any other. So stoked for their new album.

Anaal Nathrakh - Passion

Still not as good as their previous 3, but it's alright. "Tob Heutet Uebel" is such a mood-breaker with those vocals. I know Vanitas will be better and I look forward to buying it.

Disgorge: Pest.Blood.Metal.

Continuo Renacer - The Great Escape

Great tech-proggy instrumental album. The bass is loud and clear and sounds really awesome. All tracks are perfectly executed and it's great to hear these guys back on the scene after years of silence.

If anyone knows where I can get their debut self-titled, I hope you'll let me know!

The Gathering-Her last flight.

Not bad I guess. Probably would've enjoyed this more back when I first discovered stuff in the vein of Moonspell.

Ok, MikeyC, I'll send some emails and let you know:

Love in Vain (Robert Johnson Cover) from (1969) The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed.
Nice work with the cover!

Race For The Prize - The Flaming Lips.

Don't think I've ever heard happier sounding music in my life.

Gorgoroth - Ritual

I'm on a fairly pronounced black-metal kick at the moment; Re-visiting the album which I first got into the genre with just now, and I'm able to "hear" so much more of what's going on in it now.

Lord - Reborn

Fucking LOVE these guys. It just doesn't get any better as far as power metal goes, in my opinion.

indesinence: vessels of light and decay

The Faceless - In Solitude

the body: all the waters of the earth turn to blood

Virgin Steele - I Will Come For You

YESSSS

celtic frost: morbid tales

Just spinning the new My Dying Bride i picked up today. So far so good.

Oh, cool as, dude. Cheers.

Agalloch - Faustian Echoes

This EP is really that good. What an amazing song. The samples (despite sounding a little cheesy and off-putting upon first listen) actually do fit quite well. Great musical imagining of the classic Goethe tale.

Manilla Road - Open The Gates

First listen of Enslaved's new one, RIITIIR

Pretty awesome. Reminds me more of Isa & Ruun.

And I swear they stole a vocal melody in "Materal" from the band Aarni.

lol I doubt it, but it is similar.

Ghoul - splatterthrash

I'll probably try that new riiiiiiter album later on today. I'm usually not into enslaved but i'm willing to keep an open mind to the band.

Odious Mortem - Cryptic Implosion

Midnight - Shock Til Blood

Amon Amarth - Cry of the Black Birds

Arch/Matheos - Incense and Myrrh

After about 50 minutes of intense, exciting progressive metal, this album ends with a calm ballad. Odd, but it works.

Enslaved- Riitiir

Apparently my pre-order got mailed out after the release date and just came today...

Dissection - The Somberlain

Bathory - Bestial Lust

Makes me want to have filthy, dirty sex on a Satanic altar.

Perun's Celestial Silver from (1996) Nokturnal Mortum - Lunar Poetry.
Sorry for the haters but those first albums are nice!
