Albums currently kicking your ass

Kaf, gotta disagree. Don't really like green and black together, and the font is lame. I'm just really picky.

That Rites of Separation album was about AOTY for me in 2013! Amazing album really diverse sound, haven't heard the other album though.

Mudvayne - The End of All Things to Come

It's been literally like 10 years since I actually listened to this all the way through. I sometimes forget how much I still love a lot of "nu metal". I still say old System of a Down, Korn, Slipknot, Kittie, and Mudvayne were good I don't give a fuck what anyone says. Fuck genre labels.

Really enjoying this album. I dismissed Judas Iscariot for a long time because they are always accused of being generic. Granted, it's not the most original thing ever, but it's not generic and very well done. Very moody with lots of variety.
 
^Good stuff

Fucking love this one. Say what you want about Bloodbath, everytime I put them on I hear why I still love death metal.
 
Cult of Occult - Hic Est Domus Diaboli

If you like doom/sludge that sounds like the tortured souls of Hell, I don't think you're gonna find a better album.

Meanwhile, here's another to list among the ranks of "tar-pit titan crawling his way over the landscape"

2014 has got to be the best year for metal in the past decade. There are so many great releases already, with more to come. To name a few:

Insomnium
Anubis Gate
Teramaze
Devin Townsend
Nokturnal Mortum
Sabaton
Threshold
Enthroned
Anathema

etc....

Lots to look forward to.
 
Hate to post again, but this album kinda floored me. It's one half sludge/doom/black metal and one half heartaching folk. I'm going to listen to this a few times in a row, something I don't do often at all.

The Lion's Daughter & Indian Blanket - A Black Sea

If they are going for "This is the Home of Lucifer" they need to change "Domus" to "Domum." "Domus" is the fucking nominative. Fucking dumbasses. Get your Latin straight. /fagrant

Saint Vitus - Born Too late

Can't be bothered to go find the pic, but you all know what the fuck it looks like.
