i think guy you should try to get the newest Winds , the newest Echobrain..what else which hasn't already be mentioned ?( coz you have good tastes !! )..I like death before musik of Amen...oh , and of course, MDB "songs of light"..essential..

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

Ayreon - The Human Equation
Pain Of Salvation - 12:5 (BE should be very very good)
Exodus - Tempo Of The Damned
My Dying Bride - Songs Of Darkness, Words Of Light

That's about it...

 

[Jääverisaatana]

so far.

Diablo - Eternium
Before The Dawn - 4:17.A.M
Mokoma - Tämän Maailman ruhtinaan hovi
In Flames - Soundtrack To Your Escape
Evergrey - The inner circle

 

[Cerulean]

Uhh, 2004 has been shite so far in my opinion. Only MDB and Katatonia's BYD come to mind.

 

[Oceana]

wasnt prey from last year? or maybe im mistaken...
there has been some nice releases this year like:
neurosis - the eye of every storm
vintersorg - the focusing blur
borknagar - epic
void of silence - human antithesis
lunaris - cyclic
mar de grises - the tatterdemallion express (best doom release this year, even better than the my dying bride one)

still waiting for the "fission" one

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

Oh yeah The Inner Circle is very good too, although not entirely spectacular.

 

[opethpainter]

EVERYTHING will be blown away by the new porcupine tree's masterpiece...

no way to escape from that.

[sorrowblue]

I pretty much liked Ragnarok's latest album so far. I don't remember its name, though.

 

[AndICried]

Has anyone heard the latest Esoteric or Einsteurzende Neubauten releases? If I had the money, I'd probably be getting them.

 

[Lord_AgathoN]

Best Album of the Year: (so far......)

Therion - Lemuria / Sirius B

 

[Deliverance6]

I pretty much liked Ragnarok's latest album so far. I don't remember its name, though.

Blackdoor miracle is the name of the new Ragnarok. I really like their old stuff, I have not heard this cd yet. Maybe I will buy it on your recommendation.

Firebird fucking rocks! I just recently got Deluxe and completed my Firebird collection. No. 3 is the grooviest record ever! Makes me wish I was still a stoner.

[Sengir*Buendia]

You guys must check the band called HAGGARD (most amazing music I discovered in the last years). They play a folky-metal with a strong medieval touch, with lutes, harpsichords, strings and winds, ALL REAL, no keyboards, plus theatrical death vocals (in english, latin, french, italian and german) and guitars. The band has about 18 members. DO NOT PASS THEM!!!!! Check their last opus called Eppur Si Muove (my favorite album of 2004) in www.drakkar.de/haggard

Thank me later...

 

[gone]

"Cloaked by Ages, Crowned in Earth" by Morgion is an excellent release.

 

[insidethefall]

in no order:
Haggard - eppur si muove (agreed sengir, amazing band)
Lake Of Tears - Black Brick Road
My Dying bride - Songs of Darkness...
Orphaned land - Mabool
Dead Can Dance tribute
Cruachan - pagan
Nightwish - Once
