Best metal CDs of 2005 so far...

eh, he's canadian, i guess i should expect him to have stupid opinions

you're so GOOD at insults, i can't believe the anguish instilled within me. Oh, also, good job on taking all of the Immortal images we made a few years ago and putting them on your shit site, as though you had anything at all to do with it.
 
Guys, save this thread for bitching about recent releases sucking, not bitching at each other. I hate having to lock threads.

At the moment I'm getting the new Necrophagist. The production doesn't strike me as fitting as the debut but I'm hoping the music is just as brutal.

Note: I actually go looking for my music, rather than sitting on a forum and mumbling about how there's no music worth listening to these days.

Haha, I love it how a guy who lists a ton of recently pirated albums adopts a 'holier-than-thou' attitude :lol:

The new Necrophagist completely owns. Very, very well made album...and original, which is a revelation in itself. Too bad Mohammed is sick and cancelled the tour for now.

I really like this thread...I will check out alot of these albums when I'm not as busy. Especially that new Candlemass, I really wonder if that's any good and also as well the Subterranean Masquerade songs I haven't heard. I'm also curious about the new Frantic Bleep. But you know who needs to make a new album? Summoning!!
 
Arena - Pepper's Ghost was a letdown compared to Contagion, but on its on its ok.

Riverside's new EP is great! so is Kamelot's Black Halo...

I'm really looking forward to
Zero Hour
Redemption
Porcupine Tree
Mostly Autumn has a new album? i didn't know that. adding that to the list...
Dream Theater
Symphony X
OPETH
Swanö's 10th anniversary Nightingale album & Second Sky
 
i've never heard the music from most of the bands mentioned, but what is dark suns like, again? are they unique in any way?..cause if not i won't waste my time.

also never heard primordial, candlemass, kamelot, etc. descriptions.
