Most Anticipated Releases for 2008

[Zephyrus]

I have no idea why Hypocrisy would want to release a re-recorded version of their worst album.

In order to make it better. They're not just re-recording it, they're re-writing the whole album.

 

[entanglement]

Nowhere does it say they're re-writing it, mate.

Peter decided to fill the gap between the last more than stunning HYPOCRISY asskicker "Virus" (welcoming IMMORTAL/PAIN drummer Horgh for the departed Lars Szöke in the ranks) and the next one with a new version of "Catch 22", simply called "Catch 22 V2.0.08".
For this occasion, five years after the release of the original album, Peter re-recorded the whole guitar-parts, his complete vocals and re-mixed and re-mastered the rest of the record. Now "Catch 22 V2.0.08" sounds like Peter always had it in mind. As a bonus, the japan-only Track "Nowhere To Run" is also included on this definite version.

 

[Zephyrus]

Well it's bound to sound better than the original. Better vocals, at least.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yeah, they're re-doing it more "metallic" I guess...?

That might be so, but he's got a point.

iawtp

 

[DarkBliss]

That might be so, but he's got a point.

I thought you're a fan.

CM are considered groundbreaking, technique-wise by some, but I've given up on them. Doesn't appeal to me at all. Too robotic.
Same as with Pavor, for instance. Skilled musicians and all, but the music is soulless.

I liked a few songs off it originally, so I'll probably pick it up.

This is how I feel. It feels like i could be listening to a printing press machine. I don't see how they are groundbreaking either.

Hypocrisy -catch 22- is horrible and do not see the point in that. I like the regular Penetralia and it's one of the best old school death metal cds and it would also be cool if the Peter/ band re-recorded the entire album, same with Osculum Obscenum. 10 years of chaos and confusion does have re-recorded new versions just only a few songs. catch 22 sucks

 

[Zephyrus]

Yeah I'd much rather have a new Hypocrisy record in my hands than a re-hash of an crappy one. We still might have a new album this year, but this Catch-22 business will significantly delay it.

 

[chuj666]

Arsis

 

[Alter]

Arckanum


New record. Yay!

 

[KiLP12]

im still waiting if Disconformity makes an album. yea Japanese Brutal Slam Death Metal the right way!

 

[Bitencourt29]

I'm not sure if all of them are releasing new stuff in 2008, but here it goes:

Gojira
Opeth
Satyricon
Isis
Kreator
Metallica
Krisiun

A new Isis record might be fun.

Finally some news about the new Ihsahn album due next year...

EMPEROR vocalist/guitarist Ihsahn has set "Angl" as the title of his second solo album, tentatively due mid-spring via Candlelight Records. The follow-up to 2006's "The Adversary" is "in its final completion stages now," according to a Candlelight press release

I would hate if they re-recorded those albums, I think they're perfect the way they are. Now, a re-RELEASE...that might be nice.

 

[Alter]

The new Lurker Of Chalice is going to be fucking killer if it ever comes out.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Will there be more Sodom?

Well that about kills any chance of Emperor writing any new material, not that I was expecting any. Still looking forward to the new DVD.

I honestly didn't know he had already put out a solo album, I thought he was just in the process of doing his first solo album... How is his first solo album???
