I don't see much talk about other bands on here like other boards, which might be the reason this place gets slow when there's no Anthrax news, so if there's some kick-ass music you want people to know about let's hear it. If you've heard it and agree or disagree let's hear that too. I'll go first...
Trivium - Ascendancy
I hate to pigeon-hole these guys as metalcore, because they are so much better than other metalcore bands flooding the market right now, plus they have more of a thrash influence in their sound. Very fast, very heavy, and great melody. I think this album will make them a huge breakout band of '05.
MP3 - Love the solo in this song.
Scar Symmetry - Symmetric in Design
I turned someone onto these guys and their response was "Best Soilwork album ever." Funny and true at the same time. The Soilwork influence is hard to ignore but these guys do it so well. I defy anyone to listen to the songs on this album and not have the choruses stuck in their head afterwards. Definitely beats Stabbing the Drama and even though its only February will be near the top of my Best of '05 list.
