Anyone see this last night? Megadeth Christmas album. Really silly, but got a smile outta me
This is the best thing Megadeth has done in the past 4 or so years.
This is so good:
sometimes i want to listen to albums just because of the art. this would be one of those times.

Oh man, this really made my day. Funny as hell, but still rather catchy.

Do you know the singer's band YOB? If not then you should give it a go.

Pulled out this gem recently. Had not listened to it in years.
Miasma - Changes
Awesome slab of old school Austrian death metal

Sorry for the double post but wanted to share this album too.
Cult of Fire - मृत्यु का तापसी अनुध्यान
Getting around to this now and goddamn is it amazing. A late entry but I would probably have to redo my top 10 metal releases from this year to add this album. Atmospheric black metal at it's finest. The band also has Thomas Corn of Lykathea Aflame fame, who are one of my favorite death metal bands/albums of all time.

What subwoofer did you use?
Metal is always the best music to listen to on a high end stereo/headphones.
This is awesome. Thanks!

Oh man, that is some freaking incredible artwork. And the name of the album (Ascetic Meditation of Death) is badass as well. 'Tis the season for black metal! I've been slacking on that front lately, but I'll through this on right now. I'll probably read about Buddhism simultaneously, because that sounds sort of in line with the morose title.Sorry for the double post but wanted to share this album too.

Speaking of album of the year lists, I REALLY need to start writing down everything I listen to in 2014. The only metal albums of 2013 that come to mind are Ancient VVisdom's Deathlike, Subrosa's More Constant Than the Gods, and Satan's Life Sentence. My memory is friggin awful though, and I know there were TONS of other quality releases that I listened to this year... I just can't remember any!

Oh, right! I actually JUST listened to this album all the way through for the first time yesterday. I tried it a couple times when it first came out and it didn't click, but I listened to it twice in a row yesterday. It seems pretty dense, so I'll have to give it a few more spins to form an overall opinion, but I'm enjoying it a heck of a lot more now than I was several months ago.

Good shit. Reminds me of early Drudkh

I'm still waiting to give this one a shot, because the sound is just so intriguing, or at least in terms of description and whatnot. I'm sure it's a grower as you said.
I would love if James did a country rockabilly solo album

needs more comic sans.
Massive Conspiracy Against All Life and Memoria Vetusta II don't even make the list but the Kiss of the black metal genre get in the top ten?
List is a monumental failure
Andrew Korenchkin

Who are the KISS of the Black Metal genre?
Like I said before, these lists are definitely iffy at best, but they do make for interesting discussions anyway.
Morrigan Stark
Arrogant Smirk
Well, Immortal >>>> those bands, so the list's failure isn't because of that...
Definitely a grower. But I'm a big sucker for the world is not a cold dead space, and the post-rock parts remind me of that album.
Your opinion is wrong

Very nice find, I hadn't heard about this before. The fact that it includes a Lykathae member peaked my interest even more. Also I seethey have there album up on bandcamp for a decent price.
Some other interesting BM albums from this year:
Progenie Terrestre Pura - U.M.A.
Very spacy and ambient filled black metal album, it's surprisingly mellow.
http://youtu.be/cFOO1qSXS6Q
Inquisition - Obscure Verses for the Multiverse
Very good and fresh piece of black metal, without flirting with other genres.
http://youtu.be/Q98qulfxXcs
Àrsaidh (now renamed to Saor) - Roots
Celtic atmospheric black metal
http://youtu.be/JKz8dqMAu1Q
Oranssi Pazuzu - Valonielu
Psychedelic black metal
http://youtu.be/LFufCURB0l4
Aosoth - An Arrow in Heart
I haven't listened to it that much. I got interested due to a post in the album of year thread and reading that it's similar to DSO
http://youtu.be/sNQmGZmfcsI
What are you smoking? At the Heart of Winter (rightfully the highest on that list) is a masterpiece and Immortal has put out some more great black metal. If you cant look past the bands image, you're a fool.

Post-Rock and Metal always seemed like a great genre blueprint from the beginning.

Such a weird album. Some great riffs and some cool songs, but i think the album was ruined by the numb production and weird pacing.

In general, how many people here are fans of Storm of the Light's Bane? I've been listening to that album a ton lately despite having a digital copy since High School, and my love is only growing with every listen. I just appreciate just how well written and effective that album is from an artistic standpoint.
No arguments here, it's an incredible album.
Star Falcon

Yeah i can see where you're coming from. Its a bit inconsistent, Climate Controller and Arctic Crypt are great songs but some of the other tracks are very forgettable. Still, i hadn't listened to it in forever when i posted. The Key is superior in just about every way.
Love it. Thorns of Crimson Death is my favourite song by the band. I think i slightly prefer the production on The Somberlain. Both are fantastic.
Giant Robot
Member
I love Storm of the Light's Bane although I do think the first half of The Somberlain is a better collection of songs than Storm. The Somberlain was just 3-4 songs way too many where Storm had the perfect amount of songs, just a bit weaker.
Andrew Korenchkin
Member
I think the Somberlain is a great album as well, although I probably go with Storm due to its sheer cold, epic feeling. Nothing quite has an emotional impact like that album does.
My favorite song on that one would probably be Where Dead Angels Lie, which is one of my favorite Metal songs ever. That scream!

hoooooly hell, this is absolutely incredible.
I've listened to just about everything posted in the past few pages, and this is BY FAR my favorite. Maybe it's because I'm still relatively new to black metal (been into it for just over a year now), but this is unlike anything within the genre I've ever heard.
Incredible. Thanks so much for sharing brother! \m/
