[Cerulean]

Haha, if I remember well I've only bought one album so far this year (that was released this year I mean, I bought some oldies as well) And that's My Dying Bride's new one. No other interesting things were released in my opinion.

 

[Cerulean]

Oh I forgot to mention Katatonia's Brave Yester Days!! I really love it, even though it's just a compilation. (I usually hate compilations)

 

[The Scourge]

This early on, a top ten list is almost certainly futile. But here is mine thus far, and believe me, it will change:

1. Borknagar - Epic
2. My Dying Bride - SOD, WOL
3. Neurosis - The Eye of Every Storm
4. Agalloch - The Grey EP (The Lodge(Dismantled) is utterly brilliant!)
5. Wolf - Evil Star
6. Therion - Sirius B/Lemuria
7. Hypocrisy - The Arrival
8. Impaled Nazarene - All That You Fear
9. Cannibal Corpse - The Wretched Spawn
10. Death Angel - The Art of Dying

Btw, I cannot wait for the imminent releases by Amon Amarth, Opeth(hopefully), and Solefald. They will undoubtedly make their way towards my top ten come next January.

2. breaklose - always late enough

 

[icefran]

woah so much metal in this forum

even when anathema is not metal anymore : /

 

[Olethros]

Having been travelling a lot this year, so I've hardly had time to hear any new releases but the only two I'm really looking forward to are the upcoming Solefald album and with rumours that there might be guitars on it, Ulver's new one will be highly anticipated.

Last year was really strong for the more experimental metal (Blut Aus Nord's opus for example) that I seem enjoy the most these days, I wonder if this year will live up to the same level.

Definitely need to check out that new Neurosis though, those guys just keep improving somehow.

 

[Hypnos]

MORGION - Cloaked By Ages, Crowned In earth
VOID OF SILENCE - Human Antithesis
ORPHANED LAND - Mabool
...
AMARAN - Pristine in Bondage
MDB - Songs Of DArkness, Words Of Light
SECRETS OF THE MOON - Carved In Stigmata Wounds
...
HAGGARD - Eppur Si Muove
DISILLUSION - Back To Times Of Splendor

 

[ElusiveDogcow]

Man, not much good this year yet. Here's hoping the new one from Interpol helps remedy that...

"Franz Ferdinand" - Franz Ferdinand
"Tragically Hip" - In Between Evolution
"Sonic Nurse" - Sonic Youth

 

[The Scourge]

Yeah, my list has changed already. I cannot stop listening to this new Neurosis(The Eye of Every Storm). I was kind of turned off by it at first, but it grew on me. Now it just moves me to tears through damn near every song. Everyone, and I mean everyone must listen to this album. It will more than likely be my top pick of the year.
