It appears we have almost the same exact taste in metal. good list. Necros Christos has a new album coming out in 09, it's mentioned in some of their interviews. I'm also looking forward to new Grave Miasma material

[JayKeeley]

Just in January alone...

D666
Vreid
Rudra

...together with

Gwynbleidd
Fen

.......make 2009 a good year for releases.

Haven't even yet considered the enormity of new Agalloch, Orphaned Land, Immortal, Megadeth, and Iron Maiden. Finally things are getting back on track. Already got my top 10.

[Dr. Pete]

I really hope both Wintersun and Orphaned Land do follow through and finally release new albums. And the new Asmegin is also slated to come out in January.

[Jonte Desecrator]

In Solitude will have an album out in January. They have two songs from it on their gayspace, listen for yourselves here. Anyone thinking Mercyful Fate?

[George]

ARGHH! Those samples are absolutely killer! I love the Hidden Dangers Ep, and this sounds even better. This band does the style much better than Portrait, hopefully they'll get the same support when this gets released.

[Vittra]

Dodens Grav summed up what I am looking forward to already.

One thing that was only recently formalized though, Sacrifice have a new album coming out in 2009. I don't listen to much thrash, but come on, it's Sacrifice.

Sacrifice - The Ones That I Condemn

[JayKeeley]

I know you're asian pete and everything, but seriously, wtf. Wintersun is quite possibly the worst band in the world. Seriously, you might as well have come to this forum and recommended Primal Fear.

Sacrifice as in the canadian ehhhhhhhhhhh sacrifice? WTF i had no idea they were even still active.. nice

[Jonte Desecrator]

Noone has mentioned Autopsy? They're releasing a two track 7" called Horrific Obsession. It'll be released on January 26 and will be limited to 1000 copies, preorders being taken from this month so it might already be sold out. I have no clue.

[lurch70]

Lich King - Welcome to Our Forest of Emotion

looking forward to a lot of shit there especialy d666 and Gwynbleidd in jan ...
(NY RC crew: Gwynbleidd is having a boozing/listening party in Jan somewhere in NYC, save the month)

Yep. They reunited for a show just before Day of the Equinox 2 festival (which was the "official" re-union gig) in 2006, and decided to get another album recorded after how well that went.

When Sigh played here this year, their encore consisted of covering Venom's Black Metal, and Sacrifice's Sacrifice, where Rob Urbinati actually came out to sing, was awesome to say the least.

[~Neurotica]

New Colosseum is fucking amazing... seriously.

[Dr. Pete]
