I only like Cannibal from Gore Obsessed onward. I don't know, the song writing for me just got so much better.
Eweroun is awesome. I hope we get an album before too long. Love that it's another song with a more mellow, folkish vibe. I'm a huge fan of everything Vratyas Vakyas puts out, but I think the rasped vocals have started to feel a bit forced on some of the tracks on the recent albums. I think he's used guest vocalists to record them on every album following Magni Blandinn ok Megintiri, and where Vakyas himself always used them well, I find the other guys miss the mark. They're used to good effect on In Flames and Of Forests Unknown, but I find they detract from tracks like Vanadis or Time Between Dog and Wolf. Given that Vakyas' clean vocals are so good, I'd be happy if all the tracks on a new album followed Eweroun's style. His blacker songs are great, but his folkish songs are like nothing else.
If you like Falkenbach, check out Bloodshed Walhalla. Italian one-man project in a very similar vein. The Legends of a Viking is his first album; The Battle Will Never End is the follow up. Legends is the better of the two in my opinion, but they're both strong.

Damn! Queensÿches (the real one, not Taterÿche) new album is really really good! Not as good as Operation: Mindcrime (no album in existence is) but this is proving to be their next best album for sure
Listened to it a few times now, it's really damn good. As stated, it's not as good as the first 4 (EP included), but I think it's their best album since Mindcrime for certain.

For those in the UK going UK Tech-Fest next week.
Got back from Mayhem early yesterday morning and just slept lol. I was awake for about 24 hours before I got home. Anyways, great show, my first festival ever. Bodom and Amon Amarth killed it. Weather was comfortable and plenty of shade, but the pits were weak as hell. I saw people bleeding from them and then got in there and realized it was just from falling on the asphalt. Other than that though great show all around, some the band's are not to my liking, but that comes with the territory.
It's solid, but I don't know how I would rank it yet
I love Versus the World, Fate of Norms, With Oden on Our side, and even Twilight.

Speaking of USBM, the Vestiges/Panopticon split is godly. Especially Panopticon's tracks. Dude can pretty much do no wrong as long as you accept the blackgaze-production (which I love). The drum-work is INSANE.

No remorse. No repent. We don't care what it meant. Another day, another death. Another sorrow. Another breath.

you mean the S/T - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son albums are all the best Maiden songs.
We need more Sodom in this thread. Out of the big three German thrash bands, Sodom was the most consistent.
Sodom - Tapping The Vein
Sodom - Agent Orange
The new Children of Bodom seems pretty cool. I'm not a huge fan but it's pretty enjoyable.
And I just learned that the lead singer of Seventh Wonder is with Kamelot? Sucks to hear what happened with Roy Khan, he's an amazing vocalist. But Tommy Karevik is pretty darn great too.

and yes sodom rules the most

Yeah same when i saw them. Really went all out. I snagged a shirts from them cause honestly it was one of the stylish shirts there. Been listening to some of their new stuff for the new album. Choruses are catchy as fuck.
Here is another new Black Tusk track:

This EP is going to be awesome. I don't know how Metal Sucks gave it 2 / 5 last month. I doubt the reviewer even heard the album.

I love Pantera and tolerate Down and Superjoint Ritual but, every time I see Phil Anselmo I'm reminded of how big of a douche bag he actually is.

so metalgaf, what's the best Cult of Luna album? I've heard Vertikal and Salvation so far, and surprisingly I like Vertikal a lot more. I still don't know exactly why, but I like the generally darker sound, the heavy industrial/electronic elements, and also the vocals. What about the other ones?
Giant Robot

I like Somewhere Along The Highway, Salvation, and Eternal Kingdom. Their S/T and The Beyond are a lot more heavier, sludgier, and a lot tighter whereas their latest stuff is a bit more "loose" and somewhat similar to middle period-Neurosis.

As it being probably my favorite band and definitely my most listened one, I find it difficult to pick a particular CoL record over the others. It's one of the few bands that in my opinion can do no wrong. I would recommend you to listen to everything they have put out in order of release like I did, as I think the progression in their sound is very remarkable.

Nice, I'm gonna see them next Tuesday, diggin' the vibe, that seems like an intimate show.
I'm also seeing Intronaut/Scale The Summit tonight, that should be fun times.

Super Collider video. Mustaine's daughter is hot. The high school name is a nice treat. And Mustaine is the same dick in the video he is in real life.

Solid is right. It sounds like an Autopsy album which is good. I love it and am glad it still sounds grimy and like some of their older stuff.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Saw Deafheaven tonight. Very good show. "The Pecan Tree" wasn't initially my favorite song on the new album, but after seeing them play it live, I think it might be now. The second half is just amazing.

Which song do you guys think is the best one?
For me it's Vindication. It really feels like old Queensrÿche through and through.

Nothing wrong with a little Dying Fetus. They're one of my go-to workout bands. Not something I listen to for brain engagement or anything but damn good for punching stuff.
Killing on Adrenaline is one of the very best of your basic slam style deathmetal albums ever written.
Gonna go run a few errands and give their new one a spin.
