Notable Releases to Come 2009 Edition

i gotta say, that while I wholeheartedly hate Nile's concepts and most of their music, this new one is an ass kicker. I think the thick production is doing something that makes it more easily digestible.
 
what i like are passages like the repetitive chunky riffing that happens around 3/4 of the way into stupidly titled track 5 ... for example.
 
Not sure how any of you can listen to the abortion of sound that is Embryonic. Two minutes in and my ears can barely take the sound "quality" on that release. Biggest offender the loudness war has seen yet.
