[Alteredmindeath]

while i just kinda liked it at first, now i got so totally addicted to this album, i totally love how the sax blends in the metal (so totally different than Solefald does it) and the overall atmosphere ?

also check out Ihsahn's wife's music project called "STAR OF ASH". The music is excellent and very atmospheric.

@NovembersDirge You wrote a fair and a cool review about Ihsahn_After, I agree with that. Do you like the new Shining-Blakjazz?

Honestly, I don't know what to make of those guys. There's some serious craziness on that record. I gotta listen to it more carefully but I've got this schedule.. it'll get done this week hopefully. I love certain things about it a lot.. but there's also a very Marilyn Manson style guitar tone and production style that doesn't appeal to me as much.

Im surprised no one has mentioned the new Negura Bunget album and the rumored new Age of Silence album

 

[Elvina]

the somewhat full list is somewhere in another thread... maybe Defiance can repost it here?
me i'm much more stoked for the debut Dordeduh release than Negura Bunget's new one, although i will probably like both anyway

Yes thats true. I believe Sol Faur and Hupogrammos were the real spirit behind Negura Bunget but im still stoked for their new album, im a sucker for box sets i guess.

Also my fav band is Ulver so i hope they release the hippie album + new "normal" album

I'm hoping the new Sear Bliss comes out this year, seeing as how the original guitar duo is back.

oh that's a good one!! how could i forget!! you're right:

Many quality live shows are planned for 2010, some of them are already revealed in the Upcoming Shows section.
There is also a new album in the making, which we plan to record in the summer, again for Candlelight Records.
Meanwhile Vic Records is re-releasing all our previous albums with many extras. Plus the long awaited 15th year anniversary DVD entitled the 15th Commandment will be out soon.
Andras besides Sear Bliss is focusing on his other musical projects too, such as Forest Silence, Nefarious and Star-Crossed. Some materials are expected by these acts too.

just found out they're playing near me on may 15, yeah!!!

 

[Erik Erna]

The new Laethora and Engel come out in April, going to do the pre-order on the Laethora CD and get the shirt. I'm really excited for those two.

Haha no point in continuing my other posts (all that effort for naught, now I'm sad ). Thanks a lot for the link!

if you want an even completer list, you can use the advanced search on metal-archives.com, f. ex. http://www.metal-archives.com/advan...lease_type=1&label=&release_year=2010&p=2&p=1

that's what i used to make up my own list.

 

[Ozell]

The Dillinger Escape Plan - Option Paralysis, another great record that will be on my top ten list for 2010.
Negura Bunget - Virstele Pamintului, first impression is that I have to give another spin.

Now that'sa lot of albums .

 

[Elvina]

since this has been *kind of* the thread for the new releases this year, i think i'd post this awesome news here:

AGALLOCH - Complete new album announced "Marrow of the Spirit"

the six time-stretching songs that encompass “Marrow Of The Spirit” each come across as their own distinct identities amongst themselves. At over an hour in length, “Marrow Of The Spirit” is AGALLOCH’s darkest, bleakest, most dense, detailed and aggressive album to date and in turn is the most accomplished album of their career.

omgomgomg i so can't wait!!! :hotjump:
