2009 METAL - OFFICIAL THREAD

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to both of them too. Psychopathy Red is a good song, it sounds better than anything on Christ Illusion. I saw that video on youtube where some of the Megadeth dudes talked shit and played one of the new songs on the background. It sounded cool. And it was clearly thrash metal.

Damn, I almost forgot that Vader's putting out a new album this year too. I heard it will be produced by Tue Madsen and it's called "Necropolis".
 
Australian black metal band Nazxul has put up two new, unmastered tracks from their long-awaited Iconoclast on MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/nazxul

Their blog on MySpace says it will be released in 2009, but there's no date.

Australia is becoming a productive little scene for black metal. Just when I left the country too.... hmmm....
 
I'm listening to the new Absu leak now and I was just wondering, is this really the cover? It's on m-a and I can't decide if it's cool or gay.

EDIT: I'll buy this.
