What's up with the hype surrounding this album? I listened to it earlier today and it is fucking horrible.

I was totally not into Nachtmystium until yesterday. I'd already given Assassins a chance or two, wasn't feeling it. But I gave the title track one more chance before I went to see them open for Boris last night, and it clicked with me. The live show put the nails in the coffin... they were great! Subtle, psychedelic, intense, atmospheric, melodic black metal with a raw, powerful edge. That said,

My top albums of the year, the only clear leader so far is Ogre, taking the top spot.

1. Ogre - Plague of the Planet
Hail of Bullets - ...of Frost and War
Arghoslent - Hornets of the Pogrom
Colour Haze - All
Nachtmystium - Assassins
Misery's Omen - Hope Dies
Revelation - Release
Against Nature - Much in Little
Earth - The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull
Manilla Road - Voyager

People are just desperate to enjoy at least some USBM to justify the existence of that whole useless "scene".

Anyways... In somewhat correct order:

Fall of the Idols - The Séance
Battleroar - To Death and Beyond
Arghoslent - Hornets of the Pogrom
Manilla Road - Voyager
Dead Congregation - Graves of the Archangels

Was somewhat disappointed by Conqueror. It seemed simplistic and unimaginative compared to the thunderous epic that was its predecessor.

Man, I have some catching up to do...

actually, i was going to buy that darkflight album after hearing the myspace tracks. never got around to it. i will, though.

ive only heard new albums from revelation, arghoslent, against nature and celestia. ive got the new Gates of Slumber and the new Ogre is supposedly on the way from leafhound.

Revelation takes the cake.
