Almost half way through 2007... what's kicking your ass?

[swizzlenuts]

Lunar Aurora - Andacht
Pale Divine - Cemetery Earth
Necros Christos - Triune Impurity Rites

A lot of stuff I need to listen more.

 

[Arunas]

Nest - Trail Of The Unwary, top record for me so far
Moonsorrow - it's get a bit boring, but still great
Pelican needs more listens, but sounds promising
Explosions in the Sky and God Is An Astronaut - some great post rock
Earth compilation
Neurosis is great already, but I didnt listen to it enough
Paradise Lost is very enjoyable
Virgin Black is awesome

 

[swizzlenuts]

Standout (meaning not just "good" or "worthy of referance") releases so far

The Hidden Hand - The Resurrection Of Whiskey Foote
Paradise Lost - Requiem
Totem - s/t
Big Business - Here Come The Waterworks
Symphony X - Paradise Lost
Pale Divine - Cemetery Earth
Rush - Snakes & Arrows

Still waiting for the new Candlemass and Doomsword

Where is a good place to buy old Doomsword? I've been meaning to pick them up for a long time, and the new track fucking ruled.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

I don't know really, maybe that Evil Legend dude has some.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Naw, he's out of stock. I'll search around, but thanks.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

EDIT: Pelican - City of Echoes is surprisingly good

I just found out about this release a couple days ago. Anyway, why is it's quality surprising? I've yet to hear anything bad from those guys.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Mael Mordha - Gealtacht Mael Mordha will be my number 1 of 07 hands down.

The new Kroda makes me all hot and bothered.
Also new mael mordha and manegarm of course. new slavlands pretty dandy. New Kromlek aint bad either.

 

[Tranquillian]

I don't get what's so great about the new Kroda. I will try to look that one over again this weekend.

Lunar Aurora - Andacht : the answer to Anthems...10 years after. Excellent.
Neurosis - Given to the Rising : opened me the doors to the two previous which were collecting dust. The real album of maturity.
Elend - A World in their screams : if you like Elend, you will like it. If not, pass.
Arcade Fire - Neon Bible : gay but entertaining. Less strong than Funeral though.
Grayceon - s/t : I'll be looking for the next album provided they hier a new drummer . Otherwise it's all good.
Dälek - Abandonned Language : this is hip-hop dudes. And not catchy at all. I'm out..

Awaiting the Lurker of Chalice and DSO..

What has been kicking my ass but was released earlier :

Jaga Jazzist - The Stix (electro/jazz)
Jaga Jazzist Horns + Motorpsycho - In the Fishtank (improvised session, their best material, it is excellent)
Aphex Twin - Drukqs
Don Caballero - 2
Taake - Doeskvad (only 'got' it now)

Worst album :

new Manes.

Oh shit, Dalek is awesome. don't be ashamed of that.

well, being the only old school person who actually reads reviews instead of immediately downloads once something leaks like most losers...it was said that it was heading in a softer direction. no more pummeling dirges like Australasia, which is their best.

i will probably end up liking it more than Fire in Our Throats

You fail. Downloading for sampling > you.

 

[JayKeeley]

Look at a pair of shoes in a picture, or try them on first?

anyways.....totally forgot NECROS CHRISTOS. That's one of Doomcifer's recos. For after dark listening in a crypt.

 

[J.]

a simple me @ you is enough

EDIT: at Tranq


@ JayK - I dont have the luxury having to buy size 15 wherever I can get em. ANd I do buy jeans online, so I never try those on either.

I WIN!

Yeah, and J. loses for still not checking them guys out.

 

[J.]

[Krilons Resa]

Yeah, no shit.

 

[Tranquillian]

fuck off J Seriously

I think I've only heard one album that's been released this year...
Watain - Sworn to the dark. And it's ok, but not kicking my ass.

Although the new Lethal album is great
