Relapse's sale has like half a dozen caveats, one of which being that 2009 releases are not included.
Edit: For those of you who loved the black metal and post-punk fusion of Âmesoeurs in Ruines Humaines, their new self-titled release has been released/leaked.

Just found out Stratovarius will be coming here(Chicago) later in the year. I've been a fan since I was recommended them by this thread, I'm so buying tickets.
Also, reading through this thread, and quick visit to YT, has showed me I need to go out and purchase some new music. Thanks for keeping this thread updated with the recommendations.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck yesssssss!!!!!!!
I just ordered my ticket for the Sydney show.
I missed seeing them in the Nineties but not now, and the best thing is that Dave Vincent will be on vocals! My favourite Morbid singer and the best Death Metal vocalist by far.

SOLD. Krallice put out the best album of 2008. Totally gonna be there in the Chicago show (provided I'm still in the area).

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
A Storm of Light (playing most of the WitTR dates) are also really, really good and put out a great record in 2008 it was released on Neurot Records, which should give you an idea of what it's like. This is gonna be such a good tour.

that line up doesnt look promising at all.
The Maryland Death Fest looks fucking killer though. Might as well call it the Martin Van Drunen Festival \m/

*this is not directed toward anyone here specifically, so don't get your panties all bunched up* 
I have to say, metalheads blow my mind with their narrow range of enjoyment out of the genre. Tastes, more often than not it seems, are always absolutely specific and everything else is "shit". There is no range, just OMG FUCKING BADASS or complete SHIT. Not to mention when others don't have the same elitist tastes in metal, they too suck and basically have no taste in music. :lol
Having been a huge metal fan for many years now, I've grown to love most sub-genre's of metal, some more than others obviously, but still- I can recognize great music / talent right off the bat regardless if it's 100% my flavor or not. So basically, this "elitist" fan mentality all too common in the genre baffles me to no end and is even downright annoying. I just wanted to get this off my chest because frankly I'm tired of seeing a bunch of douche bags in every forum on the net bicker about it. Constantly trying to out do each other by posting the most obscure black metal band one can find and act like they have a refined taste in metal (as they bash others). You keep thinking that! :lol
Metal has so much more to offer. It's a fucking shame so many are not willing to truely embrace it for what it is and give the genre the attention / respect it deserves.

Replace "metal" in that post with any other genre of music. Still applicable.

Oblivion and Divinations are pretty good, I don't want to spoil the rest before i get it though.

No where near the same extent though. Metal elitists are a special breed. heh.
Leatherface said:
You forgot to mention though that anything remotely popular is mainstream or a sell out etc.
If you mentioned any of those bands to someone who actually listens to chart music and shit they would have no idea who they are. :lol
I will also cheack out MAstodon now after all these glowing endorsements.

You haven't heard electronic music fans, then. It's a genre with over ten times as many sub-genres as metal.
New England Hardcore & Metal Fest sucks mostly because they'll just take a bunch of existing good tours and give the headliners of those tours nothing more than a 30 minute set and the openers 20 min. I went to Montreal to see Pagan Fest last year because of that shit as it was the only other weekend date within 3 hrs of me.
Anybody like Book of Black Earth? They're USBM from Seattle.

I'm listening to their Myspace. Sounds alright. Not really any black metal in it, though except for the BM sound in old-school death metal. They sound a bit forced to me, though. Like a lot of these new DM bands that go out of their way to sound old-school. The core of it sounds like something that came out two decades ago but the finishing aesthetic and touches are incredibly modern: the production, subtle hardcore influences.

On the whole so far Mastodon's Crack the Skye seems more slowed down with much more heavy stonerish influences than their older material. I've given it a few spins now and only 4 songs really do anything for me. On the whole Leviathan is still their best work.

Grabbed the new My Dying Bride album, For Lies I sire today. I'll post impressions after I've listened to it.
I also bought a Bad Religion and Bad Brains album but as it's not Metal I won't go into it.

heard one of the new Mastadon songs on a DVR'd headbangers ball yesterday. AWESOME stuff. I'm buying the cd today. Check it out if you haven't yet, you'll be surprised at how different and great it is.

I'M COOCOO FOR COCO CRISP!
I can't decide whether this Amesoeurs album is really good, or really terrible. Thinking maybe somewhere in the middle.

Well it's above average. Solid, but not great. I'd give it like a 7/10.

Those samples are amazing. I can't wait for anything Devin does. Nocturne is a good album but I have to agree with Xevren. The new album isn't very good.

Oh man, this fooled me hard. I seen the album cover and decided to google "Nocturne"... unaware that there was another metal-ish band by the same name with a female vocalist. I was listening to them on their myspace page... and I'm thinking "Okay... never listen to Darko's opinion on music ever again".
Turns out the band name is actually The Human Abstract... silly me. Will listen soon and let you know what I think.

Good or bad, I'm getting it on April 28th.
Yeah, day one. It could be total shit, and I'll still place my money... love Iommi + Dio.
