Vreid - V: decent prog-black metal. Some of the songs are stellar, some are just so so.
Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini: a couple of phenomenal songs and a few filler tracks, but a solid album. Vertebrae is a much, much better album though.
some new Countess: you basically know what you're gonna get; solid, epic old school black metal with lots of traditional heavy metal influence. On Wings of Defiance is a good listen.
DSO - Paracletus- one of the best black metal albums ever. Simply phenomal, as is Fas.
new Drudkh- painfully generic. Totally unoriginal and uninspired.
and Nokturnal Mortum- excellent. Sort of like a heavier version of Graveland's Creed of Iron.
Agalloch- Excellent. Marrow of the Spirit is a very special and very innovative album. This and Paracletus are the best two metal albums of the past 2-3 years.
