Hard to narrow down to 1, these are a few


Chaos Divine - "Refuse the Sickness"
Protest the Hero - "Sequoia Throne"
Testament - "Killing Season"
Evergrey - "When Kingdoms Fall"
Death Angel - "Buried Alive"

 

[sevag00]

Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God
Behexen - Born in the Serpent of the Abyss
Belphegor - Shred for Sathan
Death Angel - Soulless
Mord - Opus II

 

[SweptbackFlame]

Evergrey - Fear

 

[Mort Divine]

It's just a really tedious song that adds nothing to the album. I generally don't skip tracks when I listen to albums, but I do with that one.

To be honest I really did just pick a random track from it, since they're all so good.

But I think it stands out a good bit, just builds and builds and then the riffs come, and it begins the rebuilding, etc. It isn't such an immediate song, but it is great imo. If I had to choose something other than it then I'd go with Victorian Wizard or Pagan Daze.

 

[Hypnos]

Warrel Dane - 'Brother'

 

[Tennyson]

kiuas - the wanderer's lamentation

 

[arg]

it's obviously Metallica - The Day That Never Comes

 

[XSASweet]

Amon Amarth - Twilight Of The Thunder Dog
Meshuggah - Pravus or Combustion
Raunchy - The Comfort In Leaving

could never pick just one

 

[Vinnolation]

it's obviously Metallica - The Day That Never Comes

That's going to be on my all-genres one! I'd definitely say that's a rock track, but up there with the best of them for plays on my end, says Last FM! Twilight of the Thundergod by Amon Amarth, too, and I think another in the top six so far is Toxocara - Godking!

Fair enough. Pagan Daze is my favourite, followed by I Love The Lamp.

 

[Belligerent]

I haven't given this one too much thought but it's probably a toss up between:

Amon Amarth - Where is Your God
Opeth - The Lotus Eater

 

[Einherjar86]

kiuas - the wanderer's lamentation

Hell fuckin' ya.

I'd also throw out something from Hollenthon's Opus Magnum. I couldn't pick a song though; that record is full of epic ass-kicking.

I think the only 2008 albums I have are the latest AA and the latest Firewind (if that was even 08) because most of the CDs I buy are me catching up on classics.
Based on that it'd be Amon Amarth - Varyags Of Miklagaard. Obviously I haven't heard everything but I think that'd be tough to beat regardless.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

My vote goes to everything off of Degredation Paradox.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Especially "Dyskinetic Martyr Modification" and "Flask Copper Deglutition".

 

[Black Friday]

I haven't even been buying ANY new albums. I have to catch up with so much old stuff it seems impossible.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Especially "Dyskinetic Martyr Modification" and "Flask Copper Deglutition".

or "Scaphocephaly: Status: Error" or "Thoughts Inner Illogical Collapse"

In other words...the whole album.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yeah, pretty much. Every song fucking rules.

 

[Ross]

gojira - toxic garbage island
amon amarth - tattered banners and bloody flags
arghoslent - the nubian archer

and many many more i cant think of. i dont remember which albums came out this year :S

 

[Ross]

oh and
bloodbath - devouring the feeble
pyramaze - year of the pheonix
iced earth - come what may
opeth - heir apparent
meshuggah - pravus

and dont forget the new in flames album
