[Rev Jim Jones]

Sorry to say this, but the new Into Eternity, Orphaned Land, Haggard, Exodus, Necrophagist, Neurosis, Therion and even Vehemance releases really kick the shit out of The Arrival.

[The Scourge]

Sorry to say this, but the new Into Eternity, Orphaned Land, Haggard, Exodus, Necrophagist, Neurosis, Therion and even Vehemance releases really kick the shit out of The Arrival.

Neurosis' new album is indeed legendary, but I most certainly cannot justify the other bands you mentioned. It is posts like these that undoubtedly underestimate the importance of Hypocrisy's latest offering.

bloodbath!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Firefest9]

I think that the new Shadows fall is the album of the year. definatley my pick

 

[Illnath]

Besides the classics like Opeth, Hypocrisy, Katatonia and so on.

I think that Newcomers like Swallow the Sun, Mar de Grises, Compos Mentis have a great and promising start.


And even though the Band Mercenary have been around for quite some time, their new Album called 11 dreams, are making big headlines in the metal webzines

New Opeth and Katatonia this year? Zuh?

Mar de Grises is very good, I haven't even begun to absorb that album yet.
