Best of 2008

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

Who gives a shit? It's great. Death Pop Romance is better though, muuuuch better.

 

[Cythraul]

Averse Sefira - Advent Parallax
Odal - Zornes Heimat

 

[Xerath]

Opeth and meshuggah

still unsure about the latest dimmu album...

bit disapointed with symphony x they went a bit too "verse verse chorus" for me, not enough prog explosions!

 

[divine_torture]

Was this a 2008 album? I'm confused.

It was released at the very end of '07. But if we're allowed to call it an '08 release, than it's number two on my original list.

I must say I agree with tagradh... your raving about Death Pop Romance caused me to check it out and it's fucking horrid derivative core-ish melodeath.

[Henrik Main]

Katalepsy - Musick Brings Injuries

Early 2007 release tbh

 

[whiskey funeral]

A lot of you have mentioned some top notch music and even though I only got this a couple of weeks ago, I think the newest Darkthrone is seriously awesome. It puts a big smile on my face.

 

[Mr. Bungle]

Zero Hour-Dark Deceiver
Cynic-Traced In Air
Testament-The Formation Of Damnation
Death Angel-Killing Season
Tyr-Land
Serenity-Fallen Sanctuary
Decrepit Birth-Diminishing Between Worlds
Yngwie's Rising Force-Perpetual Flame
Communic-Payment of Existance

That's all off the top of my head, I'm sure I'll think of more though

 

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

WTF I forgot Zero Hour *kills self*

 

[Mr. Bungle]

I'm sure I forgot plenty too. Oh yeah:

Anubis Gate-Andromeda Unchained.

 

[Mr. Bungle]

Fuck, and:

Amon Amarth-Twilight Of The Thunder God
Melvins-Nude With Boots

 

[Koude Haat]

forgot Darkest Era - The Journey Through Damnation

 

[tagradh]

I think it's great in that 'so shitty it's totally awesome while durnk' kinda way, same goes for TCIA and F.O.A.D.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I enjoy the new Forefather

Damn it you're both right. This is what I get for not checking. To be fair Gris came out December 20th of last year. Also good call on the Decaying Purity Henrik.

Good, glad I wasted some of your time.

You also listed Blutklinge - Reflection of a Bleak Mind, which is also a 2007 album. That album is fucking grand too btw

 

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

I think it's close enough to 08 to be counted tbh, similar to Abominable Putridity.

 

[tagradh]

Good, glad I wasted some of your time.

I will give the album this, some of the lyrics are awesome.

"When I'm in the shower, I'm afraid to wash my hair
Cuz I might open my eyes and find someone there
People say I'm crazy, just a little nuts
But maybe showers remind me of Psycho too much!

I always feel like somebody's watching me!
And I have no privacy (oooh ohhh ooh!)
I always feel like somebody's watching me!
Who's playing tricks on me? (oooh ohhh ooh!)"

This combined with the way he sings and alcohol had me loling.
