Have you guys heard of Avec Tristesse? It's one of my favorite Brazilian bands, and looking around on youtube I found out they split up, but they released two demo songs at least:

I love their previous albums, How Innocence Dies and Ravishing Beauty. They play a kind of symphonic/melodic/progressive death metal. Kinda strange to explain.

I saw Opeth and Katatonia this past Friday. Opeth was awesome as usual. Katatonia was just kind of there. I had never seen them before. The singer reminded me of cousin it. Opeth broke out Credence for this show and that was awesome live. I was also surprised at how much I liked Throat Of Winter live. That's the God of War song. Mikael's classical guitar solo during that one was fucking awesome. I think other highlights included: I Feel The Dark, Closure, Hex Omega and Porcelain Heart w/ drum solo.

Hey! i saw them last night....they played all that stuff, including the drum solo. I wish they had played some songs that involved him growling, specifically stuff from bw park/still life, but it was an awesome, awesome show nonetheless. The highlight for me was when he teased playing harvest since he had the acoustic guitar on. The audience was like fuck yeah!! and he said it's not on the set list, but he said he'd play it if we sing the lyrics. It went on for about a minute, but I was amazed at how many people knew the lyrics to that song...

He did that with Deliverance at our show. Some guy kept screaming for it after every song, even when they broke out the acoustic guitars and he said "Clearly, we are not playing Deliverance...although I guess we could" and played about a minute or so of the riff.
I love the diversity in Opeth. They can now do a whole tour without growling vocals and not rely on one album. They can even have variety in the set list like Credence. They could probably come back for another round and do a whole tour of nothing but heavy stuff.

Genius.
Hell yeah. Don't Break the Oath will always be my favorite album by the King. My life completely changed when I listened to that masterpiece for that first time. Without it, I'll probably wouldn't be listening to more extreme metal right now.

Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats
Highly recommended for fans of melodic stoner-ish doom rocking. I think they sound like an even better version of Witch, whom I dig...
This album is badass. Just the right mix of doom metal and 70s psych rock.

Yeah. I'm seriously loving Stu's vocals. I may even like him better than Barlow.
25 years ago, Slayer released Reign in Blood:

Still as awesome as ever. Altar of Sacrifice/Jesus Saves will always be the highlight of the album for me.

Been very pleased with what I've heard from the new album thus far. I don't expect another Stormrider or Burnt Offerings, but something like SWTWC would be fantastic. IE have been trudging in the muck for far too long.

Mastodon - The Ruiner (Bonus song)
Vallenfyre song, Desecration, available streaming. Going to pre-order this, just don't know if I want to get the CD ($10) or do the CD/T-Shirt ($18) deal.

I fucking love this trend of brutal, doomy old-school death metal. I'm looking forward to hearing this rest of this album. Still probably won't be better than Disma - Toward the Megalith.
Phobophile said:
The music is awesome on that one, not a fan of the vocals (the more gutteral type of growls, phrasing & delivery) though :/
But yeah, I'm hoping for great things from Vallenfyre. It won't be out for another 3 weeks and I've already seen some very positive reviews/impressions of A Fragile King.

God damn, the new Iced Earth song is fucking great. Please god, let the whole album be this good.

I'm usually pretty indifferent when it comes to vocals. Bad vocals won't ruin an album for me (unless they're horrendous clean vox). Vocals only bump an album up for me. Rarely do they bring it down.

Absu are coming my way (with some pretty good supports Portal+Ruins). Anyone seen them live? Worth the expense?

viewtifulsub said:
I've only seen Absu once 2 years ago. First time they ever played in Illinois. Small crowd (it was a shitty venue out in the far SW burbs of Chicago) but goddamn it Proscriptor didn't pound the fuck out of those drums.
Proscriptor's autograph has no less than TWO inverted crosses. Kvlt.
My Top 10 metal albums of the year so far (in alphabetical order by artist):
Amon Amarth - Surtur Rising
Ghost - Opus Eponymous
Hank Williams III - Attention Deficit Domination
Mastodon - The Hunter
Opeth - Heritage
Red Fang - Murder The Mountains
Revocation - Chaos Of Forms
Skeletonwitch - Forever Abomination
Toxic Holocaust - Conjure and Command
Trap Them - Darker Handcraft
The only album that I can see which might creep onto this list is Megadeth, otherwise it's a pretty solid top 10.

Pagan's Mind - Heavenly Ecstasy
Týr - Lay of Thrym
Omnium Gatherum - New World Shadows
Stratovarius - Elysium

Gernotshagen - Weltenbrand
Primordial - Redemption at the Puritan's Hand
Hibria - Blind Ride
Kromlek - Finis Terræ
Vintersorg - Jordpuls
Powerwolf - Blood of the Saints
Definitely won't make it:

Thought I'd share the new Azarath for those who aren't familiar. Absolutely evil Black/Death metal, this album has been melting my face for the past two weeks. Inferno of Behemoth fame is the drummer for these guys, check 'em out!
Azarath - Under the Will of the Lord
Azarath - Crushing Hammer of the Antichrist

I love all the Iced Earth love on this page.
Man, finally hearing Dystopia has me pumped. I've been playing Iced Earth all week in anticipation of the new album, and if the rest of the album is as good as that track, it'll probably re-cement Iced Earth as my favorite band.

I heard this the other day, definitely a step in the right direction.
On a completely diferrent level sonically, I've been really impressed by Dalriada, a folk metal band from Hungary lately. Full of all the jaunty melodic stuff you would expect but with some masterfully written choruses and some really entertaining vocals. If you like Korpiklaani, Falconer, and such I'd suggest you give them a listen.

If positive that that Ghost album is from 2010. Lovely album though. If you like Ghost, you might want to check out The Devil's Blood http://youtu.be/jBiPoh6An7A They release a new album in November
My favourites so far:
1 Septic Flesh - The Great Mass (symphonic death)
2 Ulcerate - The Destroyers of All (sludge/death) & Primordial - Redemption at the Puritan's Hand (folk)
Others favourites are:
Demonaz - March of the Norse (Bathory-style)
Devin Townsend - Deconstruction
Tombs - Path of Totality (sludge with black metal elements)
I also like Wolves in the Throne Room and Ygg (atmospheric BM) releases, but I need become a bit more familiar with them. I've been neglecting 2011 releases a bit lately.
