Best Metal Album Released This Year?

[cookiecutter]

This year has been shit compared to what came out ten years ago, 1996.

That was during the death/black metal days so of course it was better. Too bad I was just a young'un then

 

[Zephyrus]

Was the The adversary released this year? If so, that gets my vote.

Yes it was and I might purchase it soon.

 

[SheisMySin]

Is it just me, or does Scar Symmetry sound a lot like Raunchy minus the industrial effects?

Scott

The Summoning track I listened to was nothing special. What's the big deal?

Alot of things.

 

[Cythraul]

Summoning is overrated.

 

[Mort Divine]

Yeah, they are. Negura Bunget are better, but Summoning are still awesome.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Yeah, they are. Negura Bunget are better, but Summoning are still awesome.

No Summoning is much better.

 

[Cythraul]

I retract my earlier statements regarding the new Drudkh album. I've been listening to this thing more and it's growing on me. Very epic, powerful stuff. Time will tell if I like it better than their earlier stuff. Nevertheless, it's a good album.

 

[Mort Divine]

No Summoning is much better.

Hardly. If anything, I could see them being a little bit better but not "much" better.

Well I'm definitely not prepared to say it's any better than their other stuff but I'm just saying it's a good album. I said it sucked before. It definitely doesn't suck.

 

[Carcassian]

Alot of things.

Well thanks for that, you fucking cock-gobbler. That cleared things right up

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Agalloch hasnt even been released yet, so I dont know why the fuck people are even listing it.

No offense but that just makes you seem really fucking dumb or ignorant...it LEAKED. This is the age of Internet music. Get over it.

 

[Killbot]

Unlock The Shrine is another of my favourite releases this year, good stuff.

[genocide roach]

sad but true
~gR~

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Actually it hasn't been closed

 

[Consuming Impulse]

this is a hard one. its either venom's metal black or cannibal corpse's kill.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Venom's Metal Black wasn't very good at all.

Fact:

I have closed ONE Holly thread

If you have any other problems, feel free to tell them to my fucking face (that means PM) and I'll see what I can do about it. If you can point me to a thread I have closed that you feel I should not have closed, make a good argument for it and I will open it. Just don't stand around and spout "uuugh this forum used to be so much better before nazi erik " bullshit, because it accomplishes precisely not a shit. Thanks.

youve got mail
