So is Epic your CD of the year?

[Gaunerin]

my 'Best Album of 2004' vote went for Vintersorg - The Focusing Blur.

same here. I can honestly say that I'm constantly listening to this album for almost a year now and I'm STILL not tired of it. Perhaps only the next V album is going to cure me

 

[My Arms, Your Hearse]

BY FAR best album of the year. deffiantly

 

[Warlock Lord]

The best album of 2004, in my opinion, was Neurosis - The Eye of Every Storm.

 

[Baletempest]

Leviathan - 'Telepathic with the Deceased' is awesome, too....

Surely you mean Xasthur? or are you talking about Leviathans split with Xasthur?

 

[Nordland Felix]

Its really a great black metal record, along with the new Leviathan record, Tentacles of whorror its the best black metal release of 2004.

 

[midevil elf]

For me it's a tie between Vintersorg's Focusing Blur or Amon Amarth's Fate of Norns

But dont get me wrong, Epic is a very good album, but it's not nearly as good as Empiricism-the best Borknagar album ever made in my opinion.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

No, I did not like Epic that much, it was boring to me. Hopefully this acoustic album will be better.

 

[Mantraschism]

Oh shit, yes, I did mean XASTHUR - Telepathic With The Deceased! Can't believe I did that. Leviathan's 'Tentacles of Whorror' is really good, too. I think, though, that perhaps the one album that really grabbed me by the throat was the NEWEST Xasthur, 'To Violate The Oblivious'. Malefic's best offering to date, definitely. It's so great.

Speaking of Xasthur, I am probably the only one within fifty miles of here, at least, who has a XASTHUR shirt! \m/ Yay! So I get to pimp out a band whose logo is not even readable. lol I'm sure Malefic would hate me for it, based on his interviews. Hehehe...

 

[Alteredmindeath]

To bad you cant see the lyrics worth a shit on that Leviathan album

 

[Nordländer]

hmm, yes it is! worth the wait!

 

[Innipunn]

NO! Good album but a step in the wrong direction? I think so... A bit too much Vintersorg in it...
