Anyone else like Dying Fetus?
It's their only CD I own though. This and Cannibal Corpse's Torture are my favorites from last year, though admittedly I didn't listen to much from 2012.

my fav of this album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se0-e2bvDlA
Goddamn. I think DM is still so far up its own ass, but that shit does have its moments.
This was the first album of theirs that I got into. Seemed groovier than their older stuff that I heard, but I never really explored it in detail.
I don't know if there are any Cult of Luna fans here, but Invisible Oranges is streaming the whole of 'Vertikal':

For those not in the know, I guess you could compare them to a band like Isis, maybe? I dunno; but these guys consistently put out great material and this album is no exception imho. Enjoy!

So what does 2013 have in store for us? What I know of so far
January:
Fen - Dustwalker (post-rock/shoegaze influenced atmospheric BM)
Cult of Luna - Vertikal (sludge)
March:
Kvelertak - Meir (hardcore with some BM influences)
TBA
Ghost - Infestissumam (hard rock/heavy metal)
And my most anticipated:
The Monolith Deathcult - Tetragrammaton (death metal)
It's almost been 5 years since their excellent Triumvirate, a brilliant mix of (brutal) death metal with symphonic, electronic and industrial influences. The end result is just amazingly awesome, with Wrath of the Ba'ath, Kindertodeslied and Master of the Bryansk Forests being my favourites. The release date along with all the themes of the songs will be announced this week. Some of the themes: Transformers, the Rote Armee Fraktion and human wave attacks during the Iran-Iraq war.

jk I have nothing against juniors
The fact I haven't seen anyone talk about the fantastic Voivod - Target Earth makes me sad.
Man, Dying Fetus are still kicking ass. I hadn't heard much of their new stuff before. I'm kicking myself now for not going to see them when they came through a couple months ago.

Awesome. They have failed to dissapoint me. I think they're leagues better than Isis. Last album was fucking great.

I'm sure you've all seen this a million times, but Panopticon's Kentucky was one of my favorite albums of last year and feel obligated to share it here.
Bodies Under the Falls
Black Soot and Red Blood
Not the biggest black metal buff, but this album is god damn majestic.

Just read a small news atricle in Science about a group in Germany who's studying metal vocalists. Underlined some of my favourite parts.

Thanks for this.
Man, I have been so out of the loop lately I didn't even know this was coming. And it is actually already released over here! This is the best kind of surprise :V
I'm tempted to but I'm unclear on what exactly is new about it. Is there much actual new content? Because I already have all their albums and a handful of their singles.

I raise you with:
Atheist - Mother Man
Roger Patterson (original bass player) wrote all that stuff, but tragically died
Tony Choy performed all the bass duties on the album/live though. Followed Patterson's notes perfectly.
Death - Suicide Machine
DiGiorgio is a fucking monster. I knew he was a monster, but not this insane on the Human album because of how poorly the bass was mixed in on that album.
Gonna have a listen, thanks for the link! I've loved COL since The Beyond. They're playing here next month but I can't go see them since I'm dogsitting in another city fml lol. Bad timing. I've seen them live every time they've played here, always good. Plus I used to know their bass player but I've since lost contact with him so it sucks that I can't go and say hi this time. Ah well. At least I get to see Fields of the Nephilim before the damn dogsitting stint. They better be good and better play enough songs from The Nephilim though.
Great stuff.

I've been wanting to see Cult of Luna for a while, but it seems like they never make it over here to California. I do have their live DVD for the Eternal Kingdom tour and it's pretty damn intense and claustrophobic with that many members on stage.
Yeah every time I've seen them there seems to be more and more guys on stage
Maybe they're channeling Slipknot or something.vatstep
This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
This new Nails song is pretty awesome. Kurt Ballou has outdone himself again with the production on this stuff.
Also, I think there are some maudlin of the Well fans on here the limited vinyl edition of My Fruit PsychoBells is now available for pre-order: http://www.antitheticrecords.com/shop/maudlin-of-the-well-my-fruit-psychobells-2xlp/

yesss, a little too clean for my tastes, but still fun to listen to his bass lines. Crazy to also think that DiGiorgio was on the first Autopsy album in 1988. First 4 notes of the dirtiest and one of the most recognized bass lines in death metal. So simple.
Autopsy - Service For A Vacant Coffin

I'm a fan of them but, somehow today was the first I checked out this album. Damn it's good.

i don't even like Metallica, but it should've been mandatory for every thrash band in the 80s to have the bass this loud in the mix.

ah yes, i was just listening to the Elements album yesterday. Love the bass tracks on that album.The album was recorded with lots of distortion to the point of being unlistenable though :\
more DiGiorgio bass love
Sadus - Images
Sadus - Staring Through The Eyes of Greed
Good song. Maybe this album will actually come out after all
These days I've been listening to some symphonic black metal and even though the vocals are terrible I have to admit the song "Entrance" by Dimmu Burger is strangely heady, especially the ending.

I think DiGiorgio is very underrated, the same way for James Murphy.

speed metal blind guardian is dead. at least we still have Tokyo tales
Did someone say James Murphy?
Amen. I wish they had played more songs from Battalions of Fear and ditched that crappy Beach Cover, it'd be the perfect speed metal album.

I dont think DiGiorgio is underrated at all. He gets lots of praise and is one of the few guys who can do what he does.
James Murphy era was best Obituary. Funny story when i met him at a Testament show during the Gathering tour. By the time Testament was doing the tour, Murphy had been kicked out of Testament, again. We ran into each other on our way in/out and noticed him. He introduced himself as "Yeah, I'm James Murphy. I was in Death, Cancer, Discincarnate, Agent Steel, Konkhra, Testament, Gorguts, etc....." basically he was just naming every single band he used to be in, haha.
The Impaled guys told me while they were recording at his studio in Oakland, that Murphy was one of the most immature persons ever, super clumsy, and a mess to work with. He'd lock himself outside the studio and bands wouldn't be able to record during the booked sessions. He eventually became homeless and slept in his studio, etc. Pretty sad decline to see him go from a superstar session guitar player to his brain tumor

Was in Mexico to see my girlfriend. We went and saw Tyr and Ensiferum the night before I left. We went to the hotel on the night before the gig and met the bands. Got pictures and chatted with the dudes from Tyr and only a few from Ensiferum.
So anyway, roll on to the next day and Tyr are up. Heri asks if there are any Irish people in the crowd before adding; "Well there's one at least. Ah, there he is." He manages to see me (with the help of my girlfriend and the beacons that are my pale arms in a Mexican metal crowd) and then they start their cover of Wild Rover. It was a very surreal experience and likely one that won't ever repeat itself. Sure the song was probably already on their setlist but I never knew they had ever covered it.
I was in the lobby and a guy from Venezuela approached me saying I wasn't from around here. It wasn't my hair or skin that gave it away. Nope. My tshirt was of too high a quality to have been from there lol.
Here is me and Sami from Ensiferum a few hours before the gig.
