Heimdalls Wacht - Ut de graute olle Tied - Deel I
Arghoslent - Hornets
Obtest - Gyvybës Medis
Odal - Zornes Heimat
Darkflight - Perfectly Calm
Forefather - Steadfast

still missing Equilibrium, MGLA, Darkestrah, Amon Amarth, and probably a bunch more.

5. Warrel Dane - Praises To The War Machine (Metal?)

with a twist of ballads

cult of luna - eternal kingdom

mike patton - a perfect place

kayo dot - blue lambency downward

kypck - cherno

earth - the bees made honey in the lion's skull

biomechanical - cannibalised - got old fast though.

[Phoenix5]

Isn't there supposed to be a new dredg on the way?

 

[VeN-ny]

.

is that a movie or some shit in your sig?

 

[azal]

yes a new dredg is expected, I think they streamed the whole thing on myspace a while ago.

also Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid, brilliant album, probably top 5 this year.

If anyone likes spacey, orchestral pop music with amazing lyrics and a peter gabriel sound alike on vocals, this album is all you.

 

[Heavy Metal Rich]

Cavalera Conspiracy - Inflikted
Soufly - Conquer
Testament - The Formation Of Damnation
Judas Priest - Nostradamus
Demon Entrails - Hellhammer
Praises To The War Machine - Warrel
Fight - Into The Pit (Boxset)
Venom - Hell

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I'm going to give that Darkestrah a chance although I thought Epos was boring and overrated as shit.
