The official metal 2011 thread

[Krow]

November 2011 releases:

01.11 Mournful Congregation - The Book Of Kings
08.11 Leviathan - True Traitor, True Whore
08.11 Ghoul - Transmission Zero
11.11 Blut Aus Nord - 777 - The Desanctification
11.11 Nocte Obducta - Verderbnis (Der Schnitter Kratzt An Jeder Tür)
15.11 Encoffination - O' Hell, Shine In Thy Whited Sepulchres
15.11 Vile - Metamorphosis

All these seem interesting. Already bought transmission zero, ghoul fans should get it, it's more of their death/thrash/grind insanity... but with a strange 8 minute almost traditional doom metal song in there.

Also, here's some more stuff coming out this month:
Mortuary Drape - Secret Sudaria reissue by dark descent (17th)

Necrophile (Jpn) - Mementos in the Misting Woods by dark descent (28th) Demo and ep collection of an early, "thrashy death" band from japan.

and this, which looks fucking badass, even though I can only small pictures

Ritual Necromancy - Oath of the Abyss

Following a vicious four-track demo; Portland's Ritual Necromancy began the ground-work for their full-length, the soon-to-be titled "Oath of the Abyss.” Early on it was quite evident that Ritual Necromancy wasn’t the type of band that was going to lift the spirits of the listener with easy going music. The eerie cover art for “Oath of the Abyss,” created by Josh McAlear, is an early indication of the type of punishing treat the recipient shall receive. With no compromise, “Oath of the Abyss” is a murky and sinister debut that delivers exhausting and suffocating death metal in spades.

(15th, again, dark descent)

Encoffination and Antediluvian are out, Revenge should come very soon and Arghoslent was said to be released in 2011 but I think it will be postponed. Don’t know about Wrathprayer.

[HamburgerBoy]

I haven't heard anyone talk about the new Hammers of Misfortune, but so far it sounds pretty great. I haven't heard Fields/Church of Broken Glass in full, but it seems like most people dismiss it for want of Scalzi and more metal riffs. I guess the Metal Blade publishing and kinda hipstery-looking cover art maybe put people off or something, because at the very least this is the most consistently up-tempo and aggressive album they have. That, or maybe they hear the multiple practically-thrash songs and long for more piano and female vocals.

Whatever the reason for silence (I mean, srsly, not a single 0% Metal-Archives rant), they fail for it. This is a diverse and progressive album with no sacrifice of true 70's/80's metal ideals.

 

[JontRevolting]

I need to catch up on the recent Hammers of Misfortune albums,the last one I got was The August Engine.I was disappointed when John Cobbet left Slough Feg but HOM are great in their own right.
