Favourite song(s) of 2008?

[Rupturemetal]

Bloodbath- Weak aside

 

[slashvanyoung]

Some very good picks already here (Cynic, Meshuggah, Opeth...) but I'm going with:

Warrel Dane - Your Chosen Misery

 

[Erkan]

I haven't heard anything totally mind blowing this year (heard lots of stuff that just blows though), but I'll have to go for one of Gojira's new songs as some have mentioned. Probably Toxic Garbage Island... that song is just wicked.

 

[beyond dead]

katie perry: hot cold" that song is so catchy!

 

[xFkx]

Nine Inch Nails - Discipline

 

[AXI]

Im gonna pick Dancers To A Discordant System by Meshuggah. Opening riff is SO heavy. Bleed is cool too, but this is my favourite on the album (and the year 2008 ).

 

[Torniojaws]

Bloodbath - Treasonous
Darkane - Execution 44
Darkspace - Dark Space 3.11
Ihsahn - Unhealer
Keep of Kalessin - A New Empire's Birth
Meshuggah - ObZen
Opeth - Hessian Peel
Qntal - Departir

 

[Glenn Fricker]

Aquila - Suffer in Solitude "alternate mix"

 

[Nebulous]

Eyefear- Bridge to the past

 

[bibz]

Jeff Loomis - Miles of Machines
Opeth - The Lotus Eater
Scar Symmetry - Artificial Sun Projection
Darkane - The whole album...

 

[jet_dry]

Meshuggah - Combustion
Meshuggah - Bleed

Ordered my tickets last week to see them next year.... can't wait.

 

[schismatic]

Alphabeat - Boyfriend

 

[LydonB]

Opeth - Burden

I effing love the harmony vocals and the guitar solos at the end.

 

[Metaltastic]

Yeah, Burden rules, and I love the ending UNTIL it does that stupid "playing while detuning" thing - honestly, what the motherfuck, that album takes the cake for "most songs with retarded endings I always skip," namely the back-to-back "Heir Apparent," "The Lotus Eater," and of course, "Burden." Excessive self-indulgence = GAY.

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Scar Symmetry - Ghost Prototype I. Easy one for me.

[Metaltastic]

Scar Symmetry - Ghost Prototype I. Easy one for me.

WORD - the greatest guitar solo I've heard in a long, long time

Meshugga - Bleed

Cynic - Evolutionary Sleeper

Arsis - Servants to the Night

Gojira's Toxic Garbage Island

I liked the detuning thing. It reminds me of modern classical guitar type music with weird shit in it. And since I play classical guitar, I found it entertaining.

They played a great show in Perth, and Future Breed Machine kicked everyone's asses.
