Your Top 2008 releases so far...
The year is almost over, and I always mean to compile my list of favorites of the year, but usually by the time I remember it's like halfway through the next year already LOL So I'm getting a jumpstart on it and listing some cds that I think were the tops for me in '08. Curious to know what you guys thought were the best of the best this year, too.
In no particular order yet.... Metallica- Death Magnetic Septic Flesh- Communion Hail Of Bullets- ...Of Frost And War Moonspell- Night Eternal Nachtmystium- Assassins: Black Meddle pt. 1 Daylight Dies- Lost To The Living Testament- Formation Of Damnation Meshuggah- Obzen Zimmers Hole- While You Were Shouting At The Devil... Jeff Loomis- Zero Order Phase Klimt1918- Just In Case We'll Never Meet Again Ours- Mercy (Dancing For The Death Of An Imaginary Enemy) I think that's it so far....I'm probably forgetting some but I'll add it later if I think of them..... EDIT-- Yep, knew I'd forget a couple!! Added them now... Last edited by NvmbrsDoom5 : November 7th, 2008 at 10:57 AM. |

Kinda financially embarassed this year, you know what I mean? Got a few-1) The Maniacal Vale-Esoteric.2) Obzen-Meshuggah.3) Formation of Damnation-Testament. I picked up the re-master of Sculptured Ivy and Stone Flowers-Novembers Doom if that counts for this year.5) The White EP-Agalloch. 6) In Rainbows-Radiohead. And on October 20, I'll be getting Alloy-Skepticism, Journeys to Unknown Lands-Pantheist and Vertabrae-Enslaved.

didn't hear the Moonspell and Septic Flesh yet, i'll try and check those out.
liked the Nachtmystium, but it hasn't quite stayed in rotation. the new Enslaved is growing on me a lot; finally listened to Ruun this year and it's fantastic. they're totally bridging that King Crimson/prog style with a touch of black metal- really good stuff. |

Domkirke by Sunn O)))!! What a great album, other than that:
Opeth - Watershed Daylight Dies - Lost to the living Cynic - Traced in Air bloodbath - Unblessing The Purity (Ep) The bloodbath Lp really let me down in terms of production, it sounds way too weak and flawed, compositions are great but the productions sucks my energy life, Unblessing sounded sooooo much better Im starting to dislike your "Ugh"s towards opeth griev0r, your mom never slapped you in the face when you said Ugh to her food? respect! |
