Does "the bard's song" count? or is that just a regular ballad? they're a metal band but the song is so mellow.
How patriotic of you =)

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
NPR First Listen stream of the new Pig Destroyer album
Maybe I'm just not in the mood for anything like this right now, but it didn't really do much for me after one listen (which I understand is not a good barometer). The guest vocals by Kat from Salome were a nice surprise, though.

There was this gleaming metalsucks-review for it some weeks ago, which got a lot of flak for fanboy bias, but man, I really have to agree with it. This is my favourite metal-album of the year, and it was a good year, especially for this kind of music.
Kat is now in Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Scott Hulls other band. The Misery Index dude is on it too.
Fuck yeah!
I wish those guys had released one more badass album before splitting up.

I bought it too and I'm really disappointed in the clipping. Does no one else notice this? I'm listening on a fairly decent pair of headphones and it's clipped to hell. Too bad because it seems like an album I'd love. But I almost can't tolerate this. Reminds me of the production on Death Magnetic! (which I simply cannot listen to)
I don't understand this. Do people not listen to their own music before distributing it? Why work so hard on something and then do this to it?
RHCP's Californication and Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy are examples of the same thing. Good music, terrible clipping. Makes me so mad.
This In the Silence is less guilty than the others I named but still.
YES! Can't wait to listen to this.
I feel you, I'm gonna need to come back to it when I'm in more of a FUCK YEAH GRIND mood I think. Even so, I liked it enough on the first spin that I'm excited to come back to it.
UNF! I can't wait for the record release show this Friday! First time seeing them in many years

Jelly. They rarely ever come to central europe, not to mention Austria
The new Neurosis is a bloated piece of work. Not sure if I want to listen to it again soon...

tell me if it sounds more or less than Dysrhythmia. Was kinda disappointed with the last Behold...The Arctopus album.
Wow wow wow stuff like this is the reason I keep checking on this thread, Thanks dude.

then theres these aggressive fucking thrashers from Japan. Silliest vocals since Vio-Lence.
Fastkill - Die In The Pentagram
Fastkill - Kill Fast/In Thrash We Trust
Never thought of Vio-Lence's vocals as silly, Fastkill's are though, in an awesome way. Speaking of vocals, these are some of my fav in death that I can't get enough of.
Pestilence - Parricide
Asphyx - Last One On Earth
I havent had the time to check it out. Will definitely get around to it today.

Just received the remastered first Bongripper album "The Great Barrier Reefer" on vinyl and cd yesterday. This band continues to deliver, even if its old stuff.

new artwork, same guy who did Satan Worshipping Doom.

I'm really digging it, but my first impression was "I love this but a large number of people are going to hate it." The shift from Jari's guitar riffing and awesome sweep-driven solos to the symphonic elements is what I assume is turning people off, but I'd love to hear what other people disliked about it.
Someone also mentioned Dordeduh's newest a few pages ago, I really liked it on the first spin and look forward to coming back to it.

(8)We aaare the sons of winter and staaaaars, we've come from far beyond tiiimeeeee, forever the fire burns in our heaaarts, our wooorld shall never dieeeee (8)
Ok, enough, I was certainly expecting a far longer album, two crazy long songs are not what I was waiting for tbh, specially if we think about the 8 years they made us wait for this to be released.
I am not complaining... too much
I just really wish I had more of this, such good stuff! Turisias, Ensiferum, TYR, vocalists singing for Wintersun = Success,.DanaInPurple

I really hope so, because we will have to wait again a loooooong time to see the rising of the next album, and that was coming from Jari himself:
So, let's keep fingers crossed and Time 2 will be out soon enough
So apparently the kid on the cover of Skate or Die 2 is Jef Whitehead aka Wrest of Leviathan.
Mind blown.
If you aren't watching the One Man Metal docs you should be.

I really liked The Age of Nero album, but can't get into much anything else.
