What new stuff have people picked up as of late?
I have gotten a bunch in the past few weeks...
Folkearth "Drakkars In The Mist" - great folk metal with tons and tons of members from all over the globe. Thier first disc was decent...suffered from really bad production, then the second release was almost like a whole different band...great production and great songs, I havent had a chance to listen to this yet...I am hoping that it is more of the same as the last one.
Slough Feg "Hardworlder" - I hope this disc is bette than the cover art. I like Slough Feg...I think Traveler is thier best, thought Avatism was just OK. I havent heard many good things about this disc, I am hoping that it stays with the style of Traveler.
Black Messiah "Of Myths And Legends" - viking/folk/black metal. Listened to a few tracks online and talked to this crazy Russian at Metal haven and I gave it a try and it is really great heavy shit.
Almah - Edu Falaschi - Angra's singer solo disc. Really good but not much different that the current Angra stuff. I always love when singers do their solo albums and it sounds just like the band they are in.
Turisas - "The Varangian Way" - This was the disc I have been waiting for. Not disappointed at all...epic as all hell. Tons of great songs. It reminds me of a barbaric Bal-Sagoth minus the talking. I dont think this beats out "Battle Metal", thier last one but still close. Very solid from start to finish.
Saidian - "Phoenix" great power metal...sure it is far from original. basically this is a Edguy clone...and when I mean clone...I could play this disc and tell people it is the new Edguy and no one would even question it. Very solid release but not very original. If you love Powermetal..worth checking out.
Messiah's Kiss - "Dragonheart" very good catchy heavy power metal. It was an impulse buy and worth every penny. Vocals are not your typical high pitched wailing, but more heavier and rougher. Reminds me of Rebellion and Nightmare. Worth checking out.
anyone else get anything worth while?
