Best of 2008 So Far...And Still to Come

While Thundergod is like an effeminate flaming homosexual, Oden is like one of those homosexuals where you can't really tell if they're the bitch or butch in the relationship.
 
ToTTG is sick. With Oden is also quite good.

Amon Amarth remind me of Bolt Thrower: they're really damn consistent. I like everything I've heard by them (which is only those two and Versus the World tbh).
 
New top 10 for me.

Faustcoven - Rising From Below The Earth
Revelation - Release
Arghoslent - Hornets of the Pogrom
The Gates of Slumber - Conqeuror

He hasn't heard the first three albums, nor Fates of Norns which is a sore thumb of inconsistency.

seeing as I listed which albums I'd listened to in the post, I figured it was pretty evident that my "claim" only included the stuff I'd heard. More of a personal reaction than some definitive statement, obviously

Sorry if the phrasing bothered you
 
It'd be one thing if you heard an example from their early, middle and late career, and then call them consistent. But if you only mean it because you enjoyed it all, then I can accept that.
 
I've heard some live material, but yeah, I'm not claiming to have a representative knowledge of their whole career.
 
Next thing I NEED to order to make my claim that they're one of the best upcoming DM bands more people should get into the habit of listening to...

Tzun Tzu/Ignivomous split 7" (NWN!)
