Basically, I've been too busy for music this year. Barely listened to anything. What's been the best releases in the last 7 months? I trust Woods fans. BANDS I LIKE: Woods (duh), Agalloch, Isis, Porcupine Tree, Buckethead, Opeth, Sunn O))) etc etc. So yeah, as many suggestions as possible would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hmmm. So far my discovery of 2010 is In Mourning. Their new album Monolith is a fucking masterpiece. Very similar to Opeth, but more swedeath. Apart from that, the new Eluveitie is really good if you like folk metal, and Coheed and Cambria have a new album out. Ihsahn's third solo album is absolutely fucking stunning and Orphaned Land's Mabool too. Not metal, but Pendulum have a new album and they have a really nice track featuring Steven Wilson and another one with In Flames.
Yes! +1 to Barren Earth. Fabulous album. My first thought was "this has an Amorphis vibe" . Turns out there's ex-members in there.
The best metal album of 2010 is Heliocentric by The Ocean. If you love progressive metal, do yourself a lifetime of favor and pick up this album and their catalogue of releases. http://www.myspace.com/theoceancollective And my personal favorite from the album: I go back and forth between this album, and Taproot's new album Plead The Fifth as my overall album of the year. Other notables worth purchase are Diamond Eyes by Deftones, Mechanize by Fear Factory, The Obsidian Conspiracy by Nevermore, Korn III - Remember Who You Are by Korn, and Circle The Wagons by Darkthrone. There's many more I'm still catching up to.
Some one's I think are noteworthy, High on Fire - Snakes for the Divine Ihsahn - After Alcest - Écailles de lune Barren Earth - Curse of the Red River Fear Factory - Mechanize Overkill - Ironbound Nevermore - The Obsidian Conspiracy I'm pretty sure I've forgotten some...
Definitely the new Overkill the new Danzig is also an excellent and surprising disc-- I'd written him off years ago but the new disc has gotten many, many spins from me.
Ikuinen Kaamos Svarti loghin is a good band too..I just wished that their latest album was better produced Pressure Points...prog death..this song has a great chorus Solution .45 - amazing debut album progrezzive melodic death metal [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA4_SheHZqM&feature=related[/ame] Remembrance - Melodic Death Doom -
Alot of people are on the fence because he has some pretty wicked saxaphone solo's and such. Overall, it's pretty good.
