Well finally after almost a month I received Solstice's 'New Dark Age' in the mail yesterday and (because I can't put it any better) it fucking slays. Some of the leads are so epic I love it. Plus it has plenty of heaviness to go along. A great piece of Doom.

Well, to answer his question I own 'Awaken the Guardian' and have heard parts of their first two albums, and they all three sound great.

I'd say yes. It's a definite plus and great throw back to old school Death Metal, by the very same old schoolers that made it happen! Members of Pestilence, Gorefest, and Thanatos, what more could you ask for? I've listened to it, it's good. Though I did enjoy the production on the demo more...

Well, I can see we're not in agreement. I said it was good, not "great." The more I listen to it, the more I don't really like it. It is impressive though. However, it is of my opinion that the Mayhem Fest would not be worth $60. Maybe $20, but I still wouldn't go. And I thought the Summer...

Ogre is almost a little too '70s Rock influence for me. Obviously, they're good and they have modern elements of Doom, but sometimes they come off a little too '70s worship and I find myself asking why I don't just listen to Blue Cheer or Sir Lord Baltimore or Captain Beyond. But they are pretty...

May have been mentioned, but I really enjoy The Last Emperor. Very "deep." A favorite emcee of mine with Big L and Guru. http://youtube.com/watch?v=ohNd7t_sR1Y http://youtube.com/watch?v=gXWkksacWWI&feature=related

Very impressive. Just good, no nonsense Traditional Metal. Not totally my thing, but I like it. They're touring around here, but unfortunately it's on the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival with such enduring acts as Slipknot, Underoath, Walls of Jericho, and some more. I'd rather just see a small...

I guess we could say the new Cryptopsy is pretty good Deathcore.

There, now you've got it right. Though, I did enjoy 'Deathcrush' a little.

I'm sure it's been said, but there's something satisfying about holding a tangible object like a CD, tape, or vinyl in your hand, full with lyrics, artwork, and whatever else is included as opposed to just having digital versions on your computer or mp3 player. I'm not much of a portable mp3 guy...

Regardless, early MF kicks the ass of either of those three. Though Bathory and CF were still kick ass early on. Speaking of "old school Black/Thrash" like Bathory and CF, I just found this Swedish band called Tyrant. They released their debut 'Reclaim the Flame' in 2007 on HELLS...

Looks good man. Keep up the work. Bookmarked and registered.

You pulled me away from my Lord Vicar for this? Well, doesn't sound too bad, except the drums sound like frying pans, and the guitar chainsaws, and the bass like an actual double bass. The vocals are pretty putrid though. Overall, even though the production sucks, I think it probably works to...

I read he did vocals on their 'Reclaim' EP from 2003. I've personally never heard it, but considering it was Keep of Kalessin + Attila, I doubt it was anything that special. Worth a listen though, I'm sure.

Ironically enough most people (including themselves) think that the album is too "trendy." I realize Death Metal was big then, but I still find it funny considering it is probably better than most of their other shit.
