Mayhem - Pure Fucking Armageddon

IMO the second best song on Deathcrush EP. Can be described only with one word: mayhem!

Sonata Arctica - White Pearl, Black Oceans

i'll never get over the amazingness of this song, perfect lyrics and atmosphere.

To the properly distorted sound of my guitar, wondering how I could endure the muddy sound so long before finally replacing the batteries of the build-in preamp.

Galktik Cancer Squad - Omnivore

This is suprisingly quality modern black metal! Reminds me of filosofem-era Burzum but more technical and with a progressive edge. I like this ALOT.

Shub Niggurath - Triumphal Domain

This is really good death metal. I think I like this even better than the first album.

scenery channel - synthetic world

badass progressive rock courtesy of pasi hiltula

Ice Dragon ~ The Burl, The Earth, The Aether

Really one of the most impressive albums by one of the most impressive bands. I love this album, such amazing psychedelic doom (but thats really only part of the Ice Dragon formula).

Gnome - La Mer...

I really wish this band had more releases

I've always wished the exact same thing man.

overkill - new machine

...made us what we are today, a lonely pile of disarray!

we are the children of a new regime

we are the children of a new machine!

-commence thrash break-

yeah, its memorable.

The Chasm - The Mission / Arrival to Hopeless Shores

Holy shit. This album has blown me right off the face of the Earth. This is some of the greatest music I've ever heard in my life. FUCK.

Bang-Doll "Shall We Bang??"

Oh yes, we shall.

Carnivore - Male Supremacy
Momentarily forgot how much I love this band.

Dolorian - When All The Laughter Has Gone

Something to prelude my nightmare before I go to sleep! Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!

Funeral Speech - Evil Of Game

Interesting Progressive Death from Russia. Going to listen to the rest of this album and spark a couple bowls.

kalmah - the trapper

damn good, might be better than 12 gauge.

Bastard Priest - Visions Of Doom



Full on d-beat death metal madness that's done fucking to perfection. Simple, to the point and heavy as fuck. Next album please!

Raise Hell - Holy Target

Melodic Black/Death with some thrash elements!! AAAHHHH.... Swedish Music!

Prong - Freezer Burn

'Force Fed' needs to be shown more love...it is a CLASSIC!

Massemord - The Madness Tongue Devouring Juices Of Livid Hope

3rd time today. The droning, hypnotic guitars, the insane vocals full of resentment and angry realization AND the lyrics, the poetic lyrics. I'd love to know what was the inspiration for those!

dragonforce - disciples of babylon

their best song, imo

Grave Upheaval - second track from Manticore split

Absolutely cannot wait for the full-length to drop, should be out soon!

Lightning "Five Rings"

Their former vocalist finally clicked with me and this album is growing on me like crazy.

Ahab - The Divinity of Oceans (album)

I don't know if this album will quite notch up to the first one, however, the opening track was decimatingly epic, so I have high hopes about the rest of it.

Kamelot - When the Lights Are Down, off The Black Halo

The layers and layers of beauty this thing has are almost otherwordly. In fact, this album would be my favourite Kamelot release if not for those fucking interludes.

Pentagram ~ Sinister

I am a priest of hell make a slave of you!

overkill - nice day...for a funeral

back across the bridges burned, now you walk alone!

Cold Walls and Apparitions by Elysian Blaze.

A lot more eventful than Levitating the Carnal so far, but unfortunately there's a lot less grand piano.

Nah, the interludes are fine; they add some breadth and space to the album. There are only like three of them, so it's not that big a deal for me. I respect you guys who don't like them (I know Ozzy doesn't either), but I dunno, just seems weird to complain about 3-4 minutes of music on an hour long album of fantastic material, is all. If it was some shit like Nightfall in Middle Earth, yeah I could see it, but I just don't think 3 little interludes is a big deal.

By far the best Kamelot album though, though Silverthorn and Epica come close.

Thou Art Lord - The Regal Pulse of Lucifer
http://nuclearwarnowproductions.bandcam ... of-lucifer

I dig it. Reading about the NWN label and stumbled upon these guys. Cool artwork.

CKY - attached at the hip

sometimes I forget this is my favorite band of all time.

Hexenhaus - Incubus

The Awakening is my favorite Hexenhaus album next to The Edge of Eternity. Such tasty progressive thrash!

Trivium - ignition

I only like the first two tracks of the crusade, ignition & detonation. The rest can go fuck itself.

NP: Whitehouse - Never Forget Death

I have been listening to Whitehouse for about six and a half hours straight now. This certainly beats the time I listened to Masonna for 4 hours and 41 minutes straight. Actually, Masonna is easier listening than Whitehouse. I think my brain is going to implode.

Infernal Storm by Incantation.

Goddamn this album is underrated. It's an infernal storm of riffs.

@Wilytank Cold Walls... more eventful than Levitating? Hmm... busier, maybe, but more deliciously grandiose and atmospheric? Surely debatable.

NP: Terrorizer - World Downfall

Just checking this out for the first time because it's high time I educated myself on grindcore. Not that I've ever been too enthused about the idea, but hey... This strikes me as a pretty great album for what it is. Still probably wouldn't spin it very often. Maybe it'll be a grower. Should check out Repulsion and early Napalm Death next.

Obliteration - Ingest Death

The Autopsy is strong with this one.

King Crimson - Matte Kudasai

Greatest song ever? Adrian Belew is a godlike vocalist.

Slough Feg - Life in the Dark Age

Absolutely great, love the lyrics, the jovial tone, the 70s-style Sabbath/Priest/Scorpions riffing, everything...it's one of their best tunes.
