Albums currently kicking your ass

[Avigrus]

I've heared leaked versions of the new Nile and Hypocrisy... both albums are unreal. The new Hypocrisy just blew me away - going to pre-order these bitches.

I'm predicting that Hypocrisy will be in my top 5/10 this year, but fuck it's been a good year for metal.

They also have two albums out this year, both of which I ordered. If they're better than this, or even equal, I'll be happy. Will review at least one. Also, new Nazxul is decent.

I just realized how awful the re-recordings from 10 years of chaos and confusion are compared to the original.

What's a good starting point for Drowning the Light and what bands is he comparable to? Kinda like I Shalt Become?

 

[divine_torture]

That album's a good start. And I'd say like like I Shalt become in ambience, but like Trist or Austere in the metal sector. This actually has riffs below the damn keys.

These fucking own my soul as of now!

I still need to get around to checking out Austere as well :/

I like ambient black metal with actual riffs. One of the reasons I'm so big on Krohm, actually.

I love new Hypocrisy but The new Immortal has taken over my ears...A Little disappointing but I still like it better then almost any metal out from today.

New Nile is sick but They always bore me after about 1 listen. But goddamn crazy riffs on the album..just can't get into it Like Shrines or AOTW.

I'm loving new Alice In Chains also.

any metal out from today.

Haven't heard much of that, have ya?

Listening to this for the first time in probably two years and remembering why it's one of my all-time favorites.

Nachtmystium - Instinct: Decay
It's ummm experimental/psychadelic black metal, I suppose.
