ok let's see umm

Alcest - Souvenirs

Amesoeurs Split - Not an album but idc.

Deathspell Omega - Fas - Album o' the year in my opinion.

Jesu - Idk basically all five 2007 releases together.

Mayhem - Ordo Ad Chao - Ehh I'm still listening to this one a bit.

Paysage d'Hiver - Einsamkeit - Twas ok, more excited for the new Darkspace.

Peste Noire - Folkfuck folie - Unlike what alot of people will say... I absolutely loved it.

Ulver - Shadows of the Sun

Wolves in the Throne Room - Two Hunters

and damn idk, I like alot of other kinds of music but most of it seems to be metal this year. Did I miss any spectacular post-rock releases? I love things like Mogwai and Mono but can't stomach alot of it...

 

[hezagenius]

im sure they wont get much love on this board but Clutch's "From Beale Street to Oblivion" was an excellent "rock" album.

Baroness
Hardingrock
High On Fire
Pelican
Weedeater

What's the new anekdoten like? I've liked sporadic songs off their older stuff, and I guess Gravity was probably my favorite, a few of the songs on it were like recent anathema moreso than the king crimson worship of their older stuff.
