I can't wait until the new Anorexia Nervosa, Lord Belial, The Haunted, Asgaroth, Amon Amarth, and Kalmah come out. September and October are going to be awesome months for Metal in 2004.
But is it me, or has 2004 been dry so far; compared to 2003? Hypocrisy released The Arrival which to me was a great album. Into Eternity released probably the best album yet of 2004. Fragments of Unbecoming released an o.k. album. In Flames; well I don't exactly hate "Soundtrack To Your Escape", but I believe it's the worst In Flames album to date. Ministry released a pretty good album this year. I have yet to hear the new Kataklysm, but it looks like they are getting good reviews from their new album. But other than that, I think 2004 has been a little bit dry like 2002. Either that or 2003 was a kick ass year for Metal.
