It's "cleaner" than pretty much every Incantation release to this point, but not so much in the typical modern production kind of way. By comparison, it's not so far in the direction that the new Suffocation sounds like (although I don't have a problem with that sound they've adopted, either.) Just damn great songs and John really seems comfortable in the role he's taken on, although six years in between albums with many live dates and tours in between helped I'm sure. I'm reminded of Dying Fetus's latest in that while there's nothing in either band's respective styles that's been reinvented, the tools at their disposal have been sharpened to make finer cuts this time around. |

That's okay that it's cleaner and that nothing is being reinvented - it'll still be Incantation and that's good enough for me. |

Most of the guitar lines just aren't memorable enough, and John McEntee sounds like he's just going through the motions. |

I have hope (which is rare) that it won't sound like a a sterile rehash like newer suffo. |

I wasn't overly impressed with it, it's just Incantation being Incantation. I doubt it'll find its place within the top 10. |

Discovered some new gems... Thy Majestie - ShiHuangDi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIVOjh80dK8 Cool power metal right in the middle of the various styles...not too bombastic, not too poppy, not too heavy, etc. It's just expert songwriting and super-cool hooks and melodies done at their best. This is a very professional, exciting album obviously made by pros. I haven't heard any of their old stuff, but man is this cool so far. I can tell it will be a grower - has that esoteric feel to it that usually denotes that the listener will find more and more to like with each listen. Desolate Shrine - The Sanctum of Human Darkness http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NahAGUoJVQo Death metal something along the lines of Incantation done by way of The Chasm. Sludgy, unhinged, monstrous music that is beautiful in its chaos and destructive nature. This is seriously just great, with doomy riffs that pick up unexpectedly into these carnal, bloodthirsty faster bits, riffs that segue between oceanic, almost black-metallish pounding and total death metal devastation, and vocals that are as hungry and vicious as can get. It's a cool album and you should go hear it. |

Wow yeah, basically everything in this list + Grave Digger, lol. Incurso was a brilliant little gem - Pipe organ album outro in Apparition? Fucking excellent. My disappointment of the year has to be Ensiferum's Unsung Heroes, and probably Candlemass' Psalms For the Dead. PFtD was a safe move, but I really was hoping for a little more from Edling, and Unsung Heroes was basically pretty entirely crap. Lumsk proved (to me) that female vocalists really don't bring much to viking battle metal (besides lore, which I usually really enjoy in folk and viking metal), but again, I can't help but have been left still wanting for another Victory Song. Title track and Burning Leaves aside, all the rest was very much just filler; though I confess to have really only listened to the album in full perhaps twice because I can't really take more than the first 3 tracks. |

Tip o' the hat to some of the albums already mentioned - Rush's Clockwork Angels, Aeon's Aeons Black, Spawn of Possession's Incurso, and Testament's Dark Roots of Earth. I have a few besides that worth mentioning when I get around to it. My biggest disappointment of the year is a tie between Abigail William's Becoming and Carach Angren's Where the Corpses Sink Forever. Not because they're equally awful (Becoming is clearly worse), but because there is a great difference between what I was hoping for and what I got. AW's shift in style was a mistake, which they corrected by splitting up. Carach Angren's release was thematically, lyrically, and musically boring. They really phoned it in. |

"Retribution Shall Be Mine" is essentially the only song with any energy and "Pohjola" is actually a vibrant mid paced track as opposed to a plodding one. And "Bamboleo" just rules, but yes everything else on that album is boring. Title track and "Burning Leaves" are actually two of the worst if you ask me. The whole album is so inconsequential. |

Back in October, I said: Zelkiiro wrote: I'm just not as enthusiastic about this year as I was 2011. Very little this year made me absolutely giddy. Tentative Top 10 Albums of 2012 List: 1. Black Majesty - Stargazer 2. Rush - Clockwork Angels 3. Sonata Arctica - Stones Grow Her Name 4. The Slow Death - II 5. Diabulus in Musica - The Wanderer 6. Steelwing - Zone of Alienation 7. Pharaoh - Bury the Light 8. Damnation Angels - Bringer of Light 9. Delain - We Are the Others 10. Threshold - March of Progress It's still pretty much the same, except replace Damnation Angels with Kamelot, move Delain and Threshold higher up, and throw the new Paradox and Saturnus somewhere in there. |

I am not big into Melodic metal but I did stumble on a review of Mors Principium Est - 'And Death Said Live' and decided to listen to it. If anyone is a fan of this band or Melodic metal then I think it may be worth a listen. It is a very solid Melo-Death release imo. The songs vary enough to keep it from getting repetitive and the solos are quite good. The pace is nice as well and the guitar work is tight. The drumming is decent. Technically it came out in December of 2012 so it is relevant to this thread. Here is my favorite songs on the album: Track 10 'The Meadows of Asphodel': http://youtu.be/e--hZHqeNeI Track 11 'Dead Winds of Hope': http://youtu.be/OVoseNljKr4 Track 4 'Birth of the Starchild': http://youtu.be/p07OjC98Oz0 The full album: http://youtu.be/vtayMRvhufI |
