So far, Mastodon is winning for me. Never, ever, ever thought I'd hear myself saying that haha. God Dethroned is up there, D666 will definitely be up there.

Between the Buried and Me should be putting out their new one sometime this year so I'm looking forward to that also.

excellent. looking forward to that as well.
 
Ki has leaked. It's not that great so far except for one amazing song called Terminal.

But, I was more excited for the other releases than this one anyway. I enjoy Dev's layered/complex offerings more than his straightforward approach.
 
How fucking talented is this man, though? For real? Can anyone even begin to explain what's going on in the song "Ki" at 4:18 to the end of the song? How the hell would it enter a human beings mind to write something like that?
 
1. Mastodon - Crack the Skye
2. Lamb of God - Wrath (check out the Japanese bonus tracks if you can..."We Die Alone" and Condemn the Hive" are the 2 best songs on the whole cd)
