i havent bought any metal cds in 2005

 

[The Dude]

Cog - The New Normal

Not actually out yet but I'm looking forward to it.

 

[Demilich]

guys, check out the new Primordial, "The Gathering Wilderness", it's GRRRREAT!

The new November's Doom might appeal to a lot of Opeth fans, it's pretty damn good too!

 

[Chaostar]

for me :

Primordial - The Gathering Wilderness (DIVINE)
and
Shining - IV - The Eerie Cold (AMAZING !)


Good surprise from new Moonsorrow & Paradise Lost albums...
And I haven't get yet the 3rd Taake Album.

I've been a little disapointed by Dark Tranquillity, I used te be a fan, but they make the same thing all the time... boring...

 

[shadowNINE]

Bloodbath - Nightmares Made Flesh
Katatonia - The Black Sessions
Yyrkoon - Occult Medicine
Skumring - Demo (to be given a formal release through Aftermath Music this year.)

I plan on getting the new November's Doom. It's been getting tons of good reviews. 2005 releases I've bought so far is Evergrey's live double and that one rocks. James LaBrie's Elements of Persuation solo album. Really good and Mike Mangini is on drums (world's fastest drummer). It's not crazy heavy, but it's good for prog fans.

For 2005, I will await a new Celtic Frost album, which is in the works. It will be somewhat along the lines of To Mega Therion. It will be raw, harsh, and experimental.

A new Dream Theater album is coming out in a few weeks. I'm waiting, but I'm also prepared to be disappointed, as many were for the utterly boring and one-demensional Train of Thought album.

Opeth - Frober's Anal Blast

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

Opeth - Frober's Anal Blast

you are FAIL!

 

[KennonKun]

Kreator's new album Enemy Of God is pretty good, but it's only worth it if you really like them, since it's their 12th album or whatever. Unbelievably tight, though.

The new Rapture (The Silent Stage) is also pretty sweet.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Origin - Echoes of Decimation. Fastest album I've ever heard.

 

[Valtiel]

Amon Amarth - Fate of Norns

 

[Deadlift]

Sabaton - Primo Victoria
Scar Symmetry - Symmetric in design

 

[Longinus]

Live CD of Eskilstuna BE concerts by Pain of Salvation.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

Yyrkoon - Occult Medicine

yessssssss

 

[Minion520]

Trivium - Ascendency

is complete shit

 

[£xil on t}{£ Fa\\]

it's getting redundant these days with metal but my favorite until now is character by dark tranquillity.

mY favorite album of the year right now is deadwing by porcupine tree but it's not really metal.

 

[Riceloft]

Mercenary - 11 Dreams
