Figured I would get this thread started now. I haven't compiled my list just yet, but if you have, go ahead and post it up so we can make fun of you! (just kidding, except for you Bob.)
I still haven't heard the latest from Sahg, Motorhead, Cathedral, Artillery, Hail of Bullets, Monster Magnet and Church of Misery, or more of the Pestilence and Fates Warning, which all could possibly make this list.
Here is my list. Like I posted there are some records I just picked up like Gorguts, Pestilence, Atlantean Kodex, etc. that I haven't even spun this year. So this list is basically my faves of stuff I have picked up.
in no specific order:
1. THE BRONX - IV
2. POWER TRIP - Manifest Decimation
3. CARCASS - Surgical Steel
4. WITHERSCAPE - The Inheritance
5. IN SOLITUDE - Sister
6. GHOST - Infestissumam
7. FREE FALL - Power & Volume
8. HOLY GRAIL - Ride The Void
9. KILLSWITCH ENGAGE - Disarm The Descent
10. POWERWOLF - Preachers Of The Night
11. ORCHID - The Mouths Of Madness
12. SCALE THE SUMMIT - The Migration
13. PARADOX - Tales Of The Weird
14. ILLUMINATI - The Core
15. EDITORS - The Weight Of Your Love
16. BIFFY CLYRO - Opposites
17. BAD RELIGION - True North
18. AYREON - The Theory Of Everything
19. PAUL DEMPSEY - Shotgun Karaoke
20. BRING ME THE HORIZON - Sempiternal
And I didn't love Free Fall like I thought I would.
My bad. I loved it.
I also just picked up a bunch of RISE ABOVE releases I had missed. HOLY RETRO!!!!! Man some of that stuff sounds right of the 70s. Crazy. My dad is going to love the HIDDEN MASTERS album that is for sure.
Pinnick Gales Prigden - s/t
Really good album. Hey Shawn, Eric Gales lives in Greensboro (married a girl from here). You guys should get together for a project. One of the best guitarist on the planet.
