Great week for metal

[deathstrike from hell]

ephrat
bloodbath
swallow the sun
abigail williams
metallica
zonaria

ALL of the cd's slay.

 

[stefan86]

How could anyone possibly like Zonaria?

 

[Phoenix5]

the metallica album actually is pretty good...

 

[Lord Foul]

This is apparently a different Bloodbath than the recent EP? I wasn't aware anything new was coming out of that camp.

 

[stefan86]

yup, it's a full length

 

[Undefined]

How could anyone possibly like Swallow the Sun?

Fixed.

 

[stefan86]

Swallow The Sun is okay, just a bit overrated. Zonaria is however, what we or at least I in Sweden call, blöjmetal.

 

[Brooks]

New record by Burst comes out this coming week too, and from what I hear, it's a killer!

 

[stefan86]

It's definitely been a very good metal year allround.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

its looking up. I thought it was a pretty unremarkable year, especially compared to last year which I thought was phenomenal. But perhaps I could formulate a top 10 now, while before I couldn't even come up with 10 releases that I enjoyed.

 

[stefan86]

I've found a top 10 by far already. Usually I just come up with six or seven "favourites".

 

[stefan86]

Btw did you check out Infinitum and Hail of Bullets?

 

[Karmic]

gojira should show up some time soon too!

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Metal sucks. Great year for folk and rap.

 

[azal]

pretty bad year for rap IMO, about two albums and two mixtapes I can listen to all the way through.

last year was great.

I'm looking forward to that Burst record, but someone told me they are really trying hard to sound like Mastodon on this one.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Was ABN one of them?

 

[azal]

ABN?

and no.

I think the new Young Jeezy is awesome, and The Roots new one I liked quite a bit, along with the Re-Up Gang - We Got it For Cheap Vol 3 mixtape.

there have been a lot of albums I like about half of though, Bun B, Killer Mike, David Banner, etc.

 

[azal]

see I didn't even know there was a new Z-RO and Trae album.

god his promotion is awful, too bad.

I have the most hope for the new Devin the Dude album. You like him? He's Texas too, probably the funniest rapper ever, the last album was great.

 

[stefan86]

You threadwreckers!

 

[azal]

METAL!!!!!!!
