Lethal was great in Chicago a few months back, but man their vocalist is fucking insane or something.

Heh, indeed. And The Warning is obviously superior to it.
What is this "Queensryche is overrated." BS and who dared to spew it from their mouths?!

So much this, except I don't particularly even like it (or didn't last I heard it). Even compared to other second/third-tier Queensryche-y bands I think they're mediocre (I'd take Drive's Characters in Time any day for example). The first three Queensryche albums deserve all the praise they receive and then some.
That band is local to my area (Hebron, KY which is near the airport) and they were super popular 20 years ago. I picked up that album on CD used a few months back and the first thing I thought was 'Wow, this is Queensryche worship'. I think that album is fantastic and I agree with HBB about the first three Queensryche albums.
My reaction to this post was, "Dude, relax. It's just Om...wait..."
That being said, this album surprised me. I mean, damn.
I'm looking for more new stuff to listen to but in the meantime, I've been listening to Twilight in Olympus by Symphony X again (for what must be the millionth time 
). You know, I think this band's work will live on forever. It has to. It's simply fantastic. Sublime musicianship, excellent songwriting, great vocals, epic lyricism, etc. They're the whole package.
EDIT: Also, I wanted to get a second opinion from you guys regarding a black metal release that I totally ended up skipping last year which was by Myrkur. I think the title was just M. Should I pick it up?

Just finished editing/helping/rewriting an undergrad's application to some stipend program, for some reason this album is even more enjoyable than usual clearing my mind from that.
EDIT: Oh yeah TOOH's Pod Vládou Bice for those that don't know it or are otherwise pedantic about including album titles for cover art that doesn't

Favorite tracks of this one are Unquestionable Presence, Mother Man, Enthralled in Essence and An Incarnation's Dream.
I think this should be mandatory listening for all tech death bands who forsake songwriting for complexity.

Unquestionable Presence is interesting in that virtually everything on it is god-tier except for its riffs, which are actually pretty average thrash and death/thrash riffs for the most part. Most albums without good riffs are automatically garbage, but everything else on it is so perfect that the end result is still strong.

A shame what happened to this band really. This is some fucking disgusting and morbid death metal with a killer guitar tone.

Yeah, this and Tales of the The Thousand Lakes was pretty good.
