Best metal album of the year so far...

Soulfy's Enslaved - death metal??? The track World Scum maybe has elements, but the record as a whole is nothing like DM!!! There's far too much groove for it to be death metal.

I agree. Max even says this album is more death metal.. but I don't hear much death metal in it.

I love death metal but Enslaved is definitely not death metal.

Obituary has more , much more grove than this Enslaved Soulfly Album and the most of the pople think Obituary is a classical Death Metal Band.

Obituary - The End Complete [HD Videoclip]



Obituary Don't Care



Obituary - Turned Inside Out



Each Obituary Song has more grove - than - the hole Soulfly "Enslaved" Album

Add the new Prong album to the ballot list. It's quite possibly the best thing they've done in 20 years.

New prong is great! I have been a long time prong fan. I even love the Power of the Damager and the remix one Power of the Damn Mixxer.

The only prong album I don't listen to that often is Scorpio Rising as its production is pretty terrible and the songs are kind of uninspired.

New Overkill is okay, but not as good as their last one IMO.

Not really metal, more rock, but really impressed with the new Van Halen and eagerly anticipating the new Rush - Headlong Flight is a monster.
 
Next thing Ill be interested in picking up is the new Shadows Fall. Been hearing good reviews for it.

Yeah I have it on high rotation here - it's really good. I loved Retribution too, but the one before that Threads of Life was terrible imo.
 
Friday is the Big day here, Fear Factory and Kreators new Album rleased at the same day. Fear Factory (5June -> US) (1June Europe), Kreator 2 June > USA), (1 June Europe).

Yeah really looking forward to those 2 - Kreator especially.

I've been jamming Lamb of God's Resolution a lot again lately and for me that's still - along with Soulfly - the best record so far of 2012. Really solid record right there.
 
New Kreator leaked late last week. It's pretty good, but I was expecting a little more but I might just have to spin it a few more times once I get it in the mail.
 
I've only heard one full song and bits and pieces of the other tracks but it sounds like they're trying to make a modern day Demanufacture and I think they've succeeded for the most part. I don't think it's going to be better than Mechanize though...
 
Hordes of Chaos was so incredible, it's hard to top. I haven't listened to anything but the Iron Maiden cover and the album title song. I loved those, but admit I liked more the Hordes of Chaos title song. Haven't listened to this, but I'll surely purchase it soon!

It will probably be the best Metal record of the year, but I am pretty much biased in Kreator's direction, and so many people are somehow irked by them. Incredible band, and am so glad that they are still around to this day. Hope it has plenty of fast thrash stuff.
