Metal 2016

[EspaDa]

New Riverside track.

 

[The Ozzman]

Another solid release as usual. Probably the most consistent bay area band still going.

 

[ProphetofHatred]

New Bolzer sounds good.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

I wanted to deny it at first but The Armor of Ire is AOTY. Will be listening to this for years.

I hope so since I finally bought it today. The songs that I heard sound awesome.

 

[Krow]

Still some fire in these guys. Video is atrocious of course, but at least its not a lyric video.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

My AOTY is probably that Sumerlands album. Also Wytch Hazel, Eternal Champion, and Tarot are contenders.

 

[SweptbackFlame]

My AOTY is probably that Sumerlands album. Also Wytch Hazel, Eternal Champion, and Tarot are contenders.

Speaking of picks for AOTY, Mine right now is Brymir's Slayer of Gods, it's such an epic melodic death metal album.

 

[Krow]

Sumerlands is good but not really as good as I wanted it to be. Phil needs to patch things up with Chad Davis now that he's back to Hour of 13 and ready to record. I assume he disbanded Ho13 to get away from Earache records... could be wrong.

 

[The Ozzman]

New Ulcerate is out

 

[Krow]

I like Ulcerate to a point but do they do anything in that album to set it apart from the rest?

I think it sounds more sinister than what I've heard from them previously

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

My AOTY has got to be from either Schammasch, Vex, An Abstract Illusion, Mithras, or Sheidim, Probably Schammasch.

Edit: Add Grave Miasma to this list for sure. Don't know how I left it off.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

...and Crystal Palace for non metal.

 

[Krow]

I finally bit the bullet and bought Demon Bitch - Hell Friends...

I see people saying they like this over Eternal Champion and Sumerlands this year. From what I've heard I doubt that's happening but it does seem pretty good. Traditional metal bros take note.



Also have the new High Spirits finally coming. More quality hard rockin heavy metal.

I'm going to have to get this too. A friend has it and it sounds amazing.

 

[nizzon]

Not as good as Moth.

 

[no country for old wainds]

the part at 2:30 made me laugh. the video is somehow way more terrible than the song.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

I wonder how many more "comeback" albums Metallica is going to release.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Yep. I'm somewhat friends with Logan of Demon Bitch. That's a wonderful album, but I'm not sure it comes anywhere close to Sumerlands or Eternal Champion.
