Hope I made it in time!

Somehow this flew under my radar, but consider me blown away after one listen. Elder is a stoner/doom metal band. I know that's an easy genre to groan over. And no doubt stoner doom deserves some of the pot shots thrown at it, what with its obsession with weed culture and oftentimes overly...

I really like that album art. This is a cool band that I think deserves a bit more notoriety.

This album has gone so far under the radar it's not funny. But it is EXCELLENT. Total riff monster, and their new singer's voice is fucking stellar. Total support.

In that same vein, you should check out the new album by Quebecois black metal band Forteresse. It's called Thèmes pour la rébellion, and it is FANTASTIC.

Any time you mention Woods of Ypres, it makes my brow twitch. Consider my interest piqued. Will check this out later today.

Yeah I checked out that Uada album. FUCK YEAH.

Some of your picks are definitely up there for me too. Vektor, Borknagar, and Chthe'ilist have all kicked my ass this year. New Myrath is fucking solid as well. I need to listen to that Omnium Gatherum album; I've heard good things about it. And I've seen Uada compared to Mgla, which...

Absolute #1 for me:

I do like Mats Leven's voice, and I think he did a good job fronting Candlemass when I saw them at Maryland Deathfest a few years ago. But I have to agree that the new song doesn't quite sound like doom metal to my ears. It sounds a bit like a mid-paced power metal song. Not bad, but I...

I dig the song, and I think Jorn's voice does it justice...however, the video is pretty damn terrible. But let's face it, most metal videos are pretty damn terrible. Unless Behemoth is putting out another slab of grotesque blasphemy, metal videos are either "hey look at me making faces for the...

I've only listened to the album twice through so far, but my impression right now is that it'll be hard to beat for my favorite album this year. I'm seriously that impressed with it already.

I'm honestly flabbergasted that anyone who heard the song "Reach Within" on Nine would be surprised by how Havoc sounds. I thought Nine was a clear indicator of where this band is going with their sound. And that is away from the Symphony X worship that was their first album, and more toward a...

Yes. Yessss.

Totally dig these guys. I agree. A bit of melodic doom metal is always welcome to my ears!
