best of 07

Evile - Enter the Grave
Sanctity - Road to Bloodshed
Helloween - Gambling With the Devil


Have to add Municipal Waste - The Art of Partying to this list. I just bought it today, this album fucking rules! I'd say it's better than the three other albums I listed.
 
Of course we are. Take a look at my last.fm and say that again. Also Nec is heavily versed in all kinds of old-school metal. So you're wrong in actuality.

I wasn't nessecarily referring to you and Nec in my last post. I've seen both of you talk about thrash before. I'm talking mainly about the people who preach about how thrash is "dead" and shit like that, but when I look at his/her homepage (if he/she has one of course) all I see are a bunch of death/black/grindcore bands listed in the person's favorite bands list.
 
My top 10 this year

Type O Negative - Dead Again
Rotting Christ - Theogonia
Akercocke - Antichrist
Enthroned - Tetra Karcist
Anaal Nathrakh - Hell Is Empty,And All The Devils Are Here
Kamelot - Ghost Opera
The Red Chord - Prey For Eyes
The Berzerker - Animosity
Nile - Ithyphallic
Exodus - The Atrocity Exhibition.... Exhibit A
 
My top 10 in no order, probably change once i've heard a bit more.

Darkest Hour - Deliver Us
The Black Dahlia Murder - Nocturnal
Cephalic Carnage - Xenosapien
Neurosis - Given to the Rising
The Absence - Riders of the Plague
Anaal Nathrakh - Hell is Empty, And All the Devils Are Here
Pig Destroyer - Phantom Limb
Job for a Cowboy - Genesis
Arch Enemy - Rise of the Tyrant
The Red Chord - Prey for Eyes
 
Devin Townsend - Ziltoid
Neurosis - Given To The Rising
Primordial - To The Nameless Dead
Novembre - The Blue
Opeth - Roundhouse Tapes
 
I'm really interested in hearing the new Neurosis. I would like to hear them do something different than SaZ, EotS or TSiB. Those are the only album I have from them & they're good, but I want to hear some of their other styles.
 
After an appropriate number of additional listens, I am now officially declaring that Zephyrus' top album of the year 2007 is Electric Wizard's Witchcult Today. For a black metal fan, it takes a fucking damn good doom metal record to top all of the more extreme music I've collected from this year's class, and EW has made such an accomplishment. Witchcult Today joins Aborym's Generator as the top albums for the two full years I have been into metal proper.

Congratulations you pot-headed Brits.

I don't care if it's not at the top of any other list, that album clicks with me better than any other album released last year.
