I've listened to Mgla's With Hearts Toward None quite a lot during the Yule time, and it's refreshing to once again be moved by the atmosphere of the music, and the lyrics.

http://youtu.be/wHfUsIm0z28

It didn't grab me at first listen (I think i posted about it here), but I gave it another chance and it clicked.
I got the album and Mdlosci/Further Down The Nest. I prefer the latter but both are good.

Same here. It clicked when I heard the last song of the album. I'll have to check out their older material.

Nice to hear about that new Uncle Acid record.

And thank you for sharing MGLA. Just listened to and really, really liked With Hearts Toward None.

Bought myself a Christmas present this year. It just came in the mail. One of my top 3 albums of all time.

I only need Fas and Kenose to have all of their post-Inquistors material on Vinyl.

Ha sorry. Dublin Death Patrol.
Its a side project with Chuck Billy and the original Testament vocalist(Souza). And anything with Chuck Billy on vocals is always awesome.

I'm so anxious for the new Carcass album. I was listening to Forensic Clinicism/The Sanguine Article and that song is so freakin good.

You had me at Mike Browning.

 

[Flynn]

I made some Spotify playlists out of various best metal of 2012 lists. Spotify has some blindspots for the really cvlt stuff, but this is a good start.

Invisible Oranges -- Spotify, Original list.

Lars Gotrich -- Spotify, List

Decibel -- Spotify, List

 

[Kaladin]

Happy New Year MetalGaf!

Amon Amarth is done writing their new album.

http://www.amonamarth.com/2012/12/31/end-of-the-year-update/

We want to thank everyone that has supported and helped us in 2012.

2013 will be another intense year for Amon Amarth, and looks like it will be slightly unpredictable and mischievous…

We’ve just finished writing all the songs for the next full-length album, and we’re ready to enter the studio to start recording them in the new year.

Wishing everyone a fun and successful 2013!

Cheers
/Amon Amarth

3) Acknowledge Finnish bands as rulers of the death metal empire - Since the proper advent of death metal, the seat of power has moved around repeatedly. Florida, New York, and Sweden shared control for quite a while, but in the second decade of the new millennium, Finland has once again seized the throne with consistently great output. 2013 promises more greatness with stateside assistance from labels like Dark Descent.

I couldn't agree more.

 

[Giant Robot]

http://www.examiner.com/article/metal-resolutions-for-2013


I couldn't agree more.

Haven't been following Finnish death metal closely in a long time, but i should pay more attention. Sweden (Stockholm) is still king for me.

1) Buy more, download less – Yes, we all do it. Despite file sharing sites being a lot more stringent about deleting files, downloading is a universal reality in the digital age. Sometimes we can't find a release, sometimes we can't afford it. Those excuses only hold so much water when one considers how many record stores still exist and how often they include a respectable metal section. Test driving albums is fine, but if you like it, then either go to a store or your favorite online vendor and buy the damn thing, already!

My forever mantra. With the advent of free streaming and all, it's a good way to preview things. If you love it, buy it physically in a store! It'll get you to look at other things in that section as well

 

[Melchiah]

I recommend starting with Desolate Shrine, Maveth, Lie in Ruins, and Corpsessed.

I've personally never liked Swedish DM that much, too melodic for me. I want my DM raw and wriggly.

My first avenue is always to pay for a download. If only everyone were on Bandcamp. :\

 

[Spectacular Dr Dawg]

There's been some killer death metal from both Sweden and Finland lately.

I recommend starting with Desolate Shrine, Maveth, Lie in Ruins, and Corpsessed.

I've personally never liked Swedish DM that much, too melodic for me. I want my DM raw and wriggly.

The Dagger & The Chalice was great.
There should be plenty of quality Finnish DM this year. IIRC Corpsessed, Swallowed, Krypts, Stench of Decay and Lantern will be releasing full-lenghts this year.

Some semi-recent,less melodic Swedish DM if you're interested:
Verminous
Repugnant
Kaamos
Necrovation
Tribulation

 

[Haemolacria]

Repugnant

Somebody buy this dude a beer, because he knows, what's up. Repugnant's Epitome of Darkness is one of my personal favourites when it comes to DM. The whole album is pure murder from beginning to the end but the opening song of the album always lifts my pulse and floods my veins with adrenaline. Don't believe me? Do yourself a favor and check it out, s'il vous plaît

This Copressed is pretty good. I was really into Demigod, Demlich, early Amorphis and early Xysmas at the time. Kind of when the Dutch stuff started to blur the line with the Finnish stuff, brutal mushy blasting death metal.

Thanks for the rec.

 

[FelixOrion]

7) Go to more shows, travel as needed – Yeah, yeah, nobody has any money these days. Stop thinking about going to shows in terms of affording beer. Pay the cover, then learn to enjoy a band stone cold sober. You'll be healthier and more enriched for it. Is it a three-hour drive? Grab your friends for a road trip or solicit a ride from the like-minded online. You might make a new friend in the process. Has an annual festival recently announced an unbeatable lineup? Start saving now and make the trip. The same rules of sharing expenses with friends applies here, too. Metal needs fans, not a lot of excuses about why you can't go.

Or metal bands can come through the Black Hills more often and I don't have to drive 5 hours one way to Sioux Falls or Denver. I can't do that shit for a Tuesday show and I seriously can't do that shit in the winter. Seriously, no one comes near me and the local scene is fucking tiny, and mostly just a few hardcore bands.

 

[Victarion]

Eternal Tears OF Sorrow: Swan Saivo

Not sure how I feel about this.

 

[Melchiah]

Some semi-recent,less melodic Swedish DM if you're interested:

Some of them, like Verminous, were ok, but I like more brutal vocals in my DM, and the Swedish bands usually have this kind of trashy vibe to them, that doesn't really strike me.

Wow, the new Deftones album is fantastic. I've never really been into them, but this is great stuff.

 

[pablito]

Another Finnish DM band you don't want to miss, Lantern

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOfaCZTe-2U

The EPs Subterranean Effulgence and Virgin Taste of Damnation are excellent. Full length is coming out 1st quarter I believe.

 

[Hesemonni]

Corpsessed - The Dagger & The Chalice.

Now here's how death metal should be done.

E: Funebrarum still kicks unholy amounts ass too.

I know I should like this type of death metal, but for some reason I just can't... guess my thing is old school and technical death metal.

 

[Ravager61]

Funebrarum kick unholy amounts of ass. I love them so much.

Also Corpsessed is an unbelievably stupid name.

Oh also, early 90's American death metal is the best death metal.
