Hate to add to the torture of endless revisions, but that's another 2003/04 discrepancy between stateside and European release...JayKeeley said:
Does anyone have a leading contender for 2004 yet?

To be honest, if I removed Blut Aus Nord and Wolverine from my end of year list, it would be pretty convenient...I'm sure I already have more than 10 potential entries.
In fact, we might as well have a category for "best 2003 albums not released in the US until 2004". That might resolve things for those of us in Yankville.

To me, this year has had some pretty good releases, such as the following:
Countess
Golem
I'm looking forward to the new releases by Arghoslent, Nokturnal Mortum, The Chasm and Vore.

What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
That Golem is pretty good. At first I thought it was just standard death metal but there's a lot of cool stuff going on there.
Look for a review soon. :Spin:

CLOM is 2003 . Best of 2003 of course
For this year until now, my top 3 :
Witchcraft - s/t
Orphaned Land - Mabool
Lamented Souls - The Origin Of Misery
Ayreon is somewhere in the top 10 ... and by the end of the year the first prize will probably go to the new Fates Warning album.

Witchcraft make you feel frustrated?JayKeeley said:
I want more Witchcrafts. Music must be retro. Their feeling is the greatest.
Musically, Witchcraft is pretty good. They've 'explored' all sorts of retro sounds whether it be Zeppelin through to The Doors.IOfTheStorm said:Witchcraft make you feel frustrated?

However, the vocals kill it. Yes, I'm picky, and if I find something on an album that just gets in the way I can usually let it go. But does every single line on the entire album have to be sung through that voicebox emulator thingy?
I mean, they took something relatively decent and just ruined it IMO. That's the frustration I feel because it prevents me from listening to it.

This will probably be how mine ends up now. I have about 10 kickass albums this year, but nothing completely mindblowing.JayKeeley said:

Jerry's married?!
I think Ondskapt would be a top contender if there album had been released a month later. However, the new one is coming shortly...
So I guess your not a big fan of Pentegram either then? I love the vox on the Witchcraft album personally.JayKeeley said:
The vocals are good. Well sung and melodious. It's the voicebox distortion 'thingy' I can't stand. It annoys me so much that I can't listen to the album, which is a real shame. If there was a mix where the vocals were just recorded straight into the mic, without being saturated in those synth effects, I would probably listen to this all the time.En Vind Av Sorg said:

What would Nathan do?
I wonder if Erik can remaster the album for me...? I still have that And Justice for All with the bass put back in...

Well Witchcraft vocals are different from Pentagram vocals. The early Pentagram influences come in some riffs and in the album's atmosphere.
The way Witchcraft use it, is one of the greatest things ever happened
