Dekapitator - Storm Before the Calm
One of the greatest new old-school thrash albums I've heard! Sounds a bit like the legendary like Razor on "Evil Invaders" and in my book thrash can't get much better than that!
Maitreya - New World Prophecy
Proggy Opeth-esque death metal with a hint of Mastodon weirdness. A very promising act imho!
Enchant - Live at Last
Not a very good live album from a normally decent band.
Zonaria - Infamy and the Breed
Early In Flames meets Naglfar meets metalcore. If the last part would've been scratched I'd loved this like crazy. Now it's "just" a good album.
Amorphis - Silent Waters
WOHOOOOO!!!!!! Another brilliant album! Nuff said!
Tankard - Best Case Scenario : 25 Years in Beers
Re-recordings usually suck but Destruction and now Tankard have shown it can be done properly. Every bit as energetic as the originals and with a much needed improvement in the production (of course). Brilliant!
Crimson Glory - Astronomica
Weird album. I love the two first albums but only bits and pieces of this.
Insomnium - Above the Weeping World
Great melo-death!! Insomnium should be huge!
Windir - 1184
Windir - Likferd
Two classics that I finally had to get.
Stormlord - The Gorgon Cult
Pretty decent melodic black metal but nothing to get overly excited about.
Hermh - Angeldemon
YUK!
King's Evil - Deletion of Humanoise
Very cool japanese thrash! Sounds like Kreator and that's always yummy. Not a classic by any means but definitely worth owning!
Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Metallica - And Justice for All
Had to re-purchase these. Sold all my Metallica albums a few years back but the urge to blast Dyer's Eve, Leper Messiah, The Call of Kthulu etc that arises now and again became to big
