Thanks for all the recommendations guys. Started up a spotify list, looks like I'm set up for a while.
I have, but I don't think they're as consistent as Leviathan or Crack the Skye. They do have some of my favorites (March of the fire ants, Colony of Birchmen, Sleeping Giant).

Scott Caroll from Cianide talks to Chris Reifert from Autopsy. Pretty funny interview.
In other news, I just pre-ordered Abhorrence: Completely Vulgar from Svart Records. Can't wait to hear the demo.

They grow on you. Blood mountain is vastly underrated.

Reifert is so awesome. He called me a "shiteater" when I met him at a show a long time ago.
From the listing:
FLAC...not 256 mp3s! Stupid Roadrunner. I guess I'll wait until I get the CD and make 320 or FLAC rips.
Oh...so there two downloadable copies.
I really hope that the album's delay is only a day or two.
256 kbps is pretty weak. I would think there's a leak out there in better quality. If not, my CD got shipped super early for whatever reason (got it Thursday), so I'll rip a FLAC for any impatient audiophiles.
I'm still really enjoying the album, it's certainly not an album to just turn on and listen to whenever, but if it fits the mood, it's a great listen.

I sent a complaint email, and they sent back that the email was supposed to go out a week or so ago, so the delay isn't quite as bad. They said it should be sent out today or tomorrow, not next week. Still really annoyed by the whole thing since those that ordered from Stereoboutique in other countries got it sent to them and received it a few days ago (or will this week) and will get the autographed poster later.

Not the same sound at all but try High on Fire's "Death Is This Communion" or the new one, "De Vermis Mysteriis". : )
On another note...Man, I'm still totally stuck in a stoner/doom/heavy mood. Those are 3 of my hymns right now:
A Funeral Request
Brother in the wind
Some you win some you lose
and of course: Dopesmoker live a few days ago
I'm going to see this tomorrow, yeaaah!
Yep...mine shipped and is getting here tomorrow.
I've been listening to the Trioscapes album. Great stuff.

So I just found out the new Testament album was delayed to July :'(
Any thrash or power coming out this year? All I cant think of is Testament and Manowar.

Awesome album.
That was pretty good. Hyped.

Just listened to the album A Sombre Dance by Estatic Fear. It's probably one of the best albums I've heard. I'm sure most of you guys know about it already, but it's basically Symphonic/Folk Metal with some Black/Death/Doom touches.
Check out this masterpiece:
Estatic Fear - Chapter IV
They only released two albums in the late 90s, which are both considered classics. This is their second one, so I need to check out their first album, Somnium Obmutum.

So, I'm both excited and nervous.
I've got interviews this weekend with David Ellefson and John 5.
Neither band (Megadeth, rob Zombie) has had too much information yet about their next albums, so I can definitely go somewhere with that. It's just a bit of a nerve-wracking thing to try to come up with some stuff to talk with these guys about.

High on Fire is the first band I tried out, and I'm really starting to dig Mysteriis. Haven't listened to the album you mentioned, but 'Snakes for the Divine' also kicks ass from what I've heard of it. Title track (dat intro
) and Bastard Samurai are boss.EnderWiggles

Be'lakor - Of Breath and Bone
Edit: Oh, and these have already been released:
Before The Dawn - Rise of the Phoenix
Rise To Fall - Defying The Gods
Amazing albums, both of them, but they can be quite a dense listen.

Ensiferum announced their European tour dates.
Didn't expect them back in Dublin so soon but will be glad to have a gig to go to. Are Profane Omen any good?

Speaking of High On Fire, Southern Lord just posted this....
About fucking time. Where do you see that on Southern Lord? The best HOF album I'd say. This is the 3rd release/different cover art now for Art of Self Defense I believe. I only have the demo and never grabbed the actual first print of the album
speaking of HOF, my Sleep order just shipped today! Way earlier than expected. 3 weeks ahead actually.

It was posted to their facebook.
Storm Corrosion's Blu-ray = I came! Absolutely AWESOME. Mindblowing. If you get this version, listen to the Blu-ray first.

Snap, really? The only melo-death album I picked up last year was Surtur Rising, which was pretty underwhelming for me riding off the coattails of Twilight of the Thunder God. Other than that though, I didn't follow melo-death releases at all. Which albums should I look into?
Awesome, glad you had a good time. I'm envious, I'm sure the performance was legendary!

Quickly looking over my library, and depending on your definition of melodeath and your standards of quality, there were releases by myGRAIN, Deadlock, Children of Bodom, In Flames, Before The Dawn, Mercenary, Scar Symmetry, Insomnium, Ghost Brigade, and The Unguided.
I think most people would suggest Insomnium's One for Sorrow, but I like Ghost Brigade's Until Fear No Longer Defines Us.
Omnium Gatherum - New World Shadows was one of my favorite melodeath releases from last year:

Some of those bands I haven't even heard of. School just ended for me, and now I have a nice meaty list of artsits to check out! Excellent.
These are awesome, I'll have to pick the album up soon.
Thanks for the recommendations guys!

awesome that you enjoyed it. When I saw them for the first re-union, it was just fucking magical....on another entire level. Everything from the backdrop, space/astronauts being projected behind them, the fucking wall of sound, Pike's power and stage presence and smoke filled room.

Oh yes, it was : ) ...
...In exactly the same way you described!!
I stood in the front (1st row) directly in front of Pike, who was playing himself into another state! Could have touched his shoes, haha! The performance was indeed magical. From the first notes (Dopesmoker) till the reprise of the song in the end I was almost hypnotised! One new (?) song, Antarcticus Thawed in particular impressed me live! Perfect soundtrack for a apocalyptic movie (in my head it was!) : ) Also this was my loudest concert ever, but still in a good way!Giant Robot

...In exactly the same way you described!!
man, i was seriously fucking stoned until the next afternoon. I know this will sound like stoner talk, but I seriously felt like I saw a higher being and still tell people that. Like you said, it was very hypnotic. What you can hear and feel on the record at loud volumes is just an unexplainable experience in a live setting. Before the first notes were struck an astronaut came out and gave Pike his guitar, feedback noise and twiddling with his pedals for another couple minutes, then a sudden wall of fuzz. Fucking amazing experience. They ended the night with a cover of Ozzy Osbourne's "Over The Mountain" which caught almost everyone off guard.
For a lesser known melo death album from last year, this was near the top of my list for favourites from last year.
Climatic Terra - Earth Pollution. I described it before as basically what Arch Enemy would sound like if they decided to just say "fuck this new sound, let's just make another album that sounds like Carcass" And this is the result
