Albums currently kicking your ass

Really heavy 90's sounding ritualistic black metal with awesome riffs and vocals. All of their albums are worth hearing, although the debut is the coolest and has cult sound clips that make it even more awesome.
 
This is my first real post I guess.
Thought I knew something about metal, but after reading quite a number of your posts, there are so many bands that I haven't heard of. Lot to learn.

Right now, listening to Symphony X, V The New Mythology. Great progressive drumming by Jason Rullo, powerhouse vocals by Russell Allen. Interesting compositions, sounds like fun to play.

Other recent stuff:
Anvil, Metal on Metal, Hard 'N' Heavy, Forged in Fire. Going to see them next month, can't wait!
Saxon, Wheels of Steel, Strong Arm of the Law, Denim and Leather.
Testament, The Formation of Damnation
Exodus, Bonded in Blood
Yngwie Malmsteen, Rising Force
Diamond Head, Lightning to the Nations
High on Fire, The Art of Self Defense
The Sword, The Age of Winters
