Stores have decided to decorate and sell xmas things starting in September this year, which tells me the end of the year is nigh.

I think I have a top 10 list (in no order):

in vain - the latter rain
necros christos - triune impurity rites
angantyr - haevn <- POSSIBLE ALBUM OF THE YEAR (all hails and thanks to Tranquillian)
raventale - on a crystal swing
symphony x - paradise lost
darkestrah - epos
megadeth - united abominations
insomnium - above the weeping world
slough feg - hardworlder
october falls - streams of the end (EP)

I am certain I've forgotten stuff

still need to listen to the new DsO

king diamond failed it big time this year - awful release. disappointment of the year, considering.

I think the new graveland and alcest were pretty poor too, but I'll give them a few more spins. Neither matched the quality of Le Secret or Fire Chariot IMO.
 
two of the best songs:

Nasheim's "Leda"
October Falls "Shores of Fire"

Kinda cool when you think about it. Or at least it was before the forum turned turd.
 
Top 10 +1 (slight order significance)

Candlemass - King Of The Grey Islands
Doomsword - My Name Will Live On
Totem - s/t
Mekong Delta - Lurking Fear
The Hidden Hand - The Resurrection Of Whiskey Foote
Atlantean Kodex - The Pnakotic Demos
Pale Divine - Cemetery Earth
Slough Feg - Hardworlder
Thunderstorm - As We Die Alone
Symphony X - Paradise Lost
Eternal Legacy - The Coming Of The Tempest

3 must have re-releases

Zions Abyss - T.A.L.E.S
Ashbury - From Endless Skies
Acrimony - Tumuli Shroomaroom

WTF :erk:

And, gawdayumit, I still need to hear that fucking Mekong Delta album. Still isnt around over here..not that I have seen.

And once again, No particular order.

Slough Feg - Hardworlder
Reverend Bizarre - II: So Long Suckers!
High On Fire - Death Is This Communion
Pale Divine - Cemetery Earth
Stinking Lizaveta - Scream of The Iconoclast
Josiah - No Time
Solace - The Black Black EP
Voodooshock - Marie's Sister's Garden
Pig Destroyer - Phantom Limb
Holy Martyr - Still At War (even though its all the EP stuff, I cannot NOT put this on my top 10)

...still have Orodruin 10", Baroness, Mekong Delta, Wotan, Mos Generator, and a slew of others that I dont know about or forget, to still look forward to. :headbang:
 
I still don't see how Warning isn't considered a 2007 release. I pre-ordered the Die Hard edition (which was shipped first) and I live in England, so I got a copy basically as soon as possible and that wasn't until middle of January, I don't really care what Rich Walker says.
 
Why the would Die Hards be sent out first when the reason that they weren't sent out in 2006 was because of manufacturing delays?

I see that you liked my reco's of Angantyr and Darkestrah then. I was waiting for you to get back to me about those.
 
I haven't had too much time to keep up with 2007 releases but from the little I've heard:

Alcest
Antimatter
Jesu
Azrael
Vital Remains
Nile

And of couse there are a ton more I haven't gotten to, are coming soon, or need to spend more time with.

William Elliott Whitmore - Song of the Blackbird
 
A few more may make their way on to the list at some point. But at this point, the only 2007 releases you "must own" are:

Circus Maximus - Isolate
Redemption - The Origins of Ruin
Riverside - Rapid Eye Movement

Hmmm... I guess it was a good year for Prog. Especially when you consider that the disc closest to making this list, but falling short, is the new Symphony X.
