[Orion Crystal Ice]

I don't think anyone will agree, so these are just personal favorites tbh:

Keldian - The Ghost of Icarus
Royal Hunt - The First Rock (also, incidentally, my favorite RH song..)

I haven't honestly freaked out about anything else enough, and haven't bought much that came out this year, but I'd like to get the newest Zero Hour since it likely has a candidate or two. Someone else can probably help fill that one in.

 

[SweptbackFlame]

I'd have to go with:

Iced Earth - Come What May

that track has stood out for me since I heard it for the 1st time

 

[MasterOLightning]

You couldn't have waited until the year ended, huh?

 

[Vinnolation]

You couldn't have waited until the year ended, huh?

Well, it's only 8 weeks away, or so... Plus, others always post a few reminders we missed so far, that we can all throw in on our list before year's end top tens and such, too. Mine are just nominees, like I said...

 

[The Ozzman]

Meshuggah - Combustion

 

[mutantllama]

Holy shit, only 8 weeks away. Man, this year is going by wicked fast.

Then again, it always does that.

 

[Vinnolation]

Holy shit, only 8 weeks away. Man, this year is going by wicked fast.

Then again, it always does that.

And now there's 6.5, woosh! Faulty math on my behalf!

Good call on Combustion, Ozzman! Definitely killer stuff there! My top ten songs at the end of 2008 might have to include two Meshuggahs!

 

[Omni]

It's obviously "All Hope Is Gone" by Slipknot.

 

[Black Friday]

It's obviously "All Hope Is Gone" by Slipknot.

I knew it!

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

Holy shit, only 8 weeks away. Man, this year is going by wicked fast.

Then again, it always does that.

now I'm depressed



time to die

 

[Satanstoenail]

Meshuggah - Combustion

Good call.

 

[Mort Divine]

The Lamp of Thoth's The House

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I have not (yet) heard a whole lot of awesome 2008 material, so I'm gonna have to say Machinae Supremacy - Stand.

 

[Rumpole]

The Lamp of Thoth's The House

That's my least favourite song on the album, to be honest. My picks would be...

Manilla Road - Tree Of Life
Hammers Of Misfortune - Too Soon
Midnight - Farewell To Hell

 

[Garen]

So far, it's Grand Magus - Like the Oar Strikes the Water. That Lamp of Thoth album has been kicking my ass as well, though.

 

[Onder]

That's my least favourite song on the album, to be honest.

Same here. That song shows that he's just another doom metal singer that can't sing. It's not so striking in the heavier songs, but they shouldn't really play these ballady ones.

 

[Rumpole]

It's just a really tedious song that adds nothing to the album. I generally don't skip tracks when I listen to albums, but I do with that one.

 

[Burning In Hell]

So far, it's Grand Magus - Like the Oar Strikes the Water. That Lamp of Thoth album has been kicking my ass as well, though.

Second that!!

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Leviathan - Merging With Sword, Onto Them
