So I just heard the new Nighrage and Devildriver, and they are actually really good.
Nightrage - Wearing A Martyr's Crown (June 25th, 2009)
Track Listing:
1.Shed the Blood
2.Collision of Fate
3.A Grim Struggle
4.Wearing a Martyr's Crown
5.Among Wolves
6.Abandon
7.Futile Tears
8.Wounded Angels
9.Mocking Modesty
10.Failure of All Human Emotions
11.Sting of Remorse
They have all the songs up except Wounded Angels on their myspace...it's actually a pretty good listen.
Devildriver - Pray for Villains is good. I won't say it's great yet. Needs more listens. It is definitely more "br00tal" as a whole than anything else they have done.
As I have said before, since concerts are all like 200+ miles away, I have to choose between going to concerts or buying music. Concerts win out right now. One day I will be able to afford having a legal collection.
