Is there anything TRULY EXCITING going on in metal these days?

[Reign in Acai]

I admittedly haven't heard the bands mentioned other than Amber Asylum, but Worm Ouroboros seems to take Amber Asylum and at points integrate heavier passages into the music seemlessly. Not quite metal, but still worthy of note for this thread i'd say.

This ensemble is far too light for my current cravings. I'm half way through and all I'm waiting for is the samples of two whales calling out to each other in brine drenched passion, the OST to Planet Earth exhibited more huevos.
