Your Top 2008 releases so far...

[CanadianMetalFan]

Ahh you see I wasn't sure I had heard a rumour that it was a re-release, but prior to some random Vendlus sampler I got at an Agalloch concert I had never even heard of them. By the way the sampler was kind of a throw away for the most part with the exception of Klabautamann. Just fucking blew me away! I guess the Agalloch CD I included is a re-release of sorts as well lol.

Yea, in a way it is, I guess! But The White EP was an original release this year

 

[CanadianMetalFan]

The White EP was really good, but it didn't do a whole lot for me. I seem to only like neo-folk if their's vocals involved and I think the release suffered from the lack of them as neo-folk can be a wonderfully creative form of music otherwise. TDA on the other hand is just fucking outstanding! "This Old Cabin" and "Of Stone, Wind, and Pillor" fuck yes!
