| I'm Coming...
Expect reviews of these in the coming weeks. | | 1 |  | Steve Von Till
A Grave Is A Grim Horse
Steve Von Till rules. The sullen voice of Neurosis' newest solo album is a whiskey soaked, western tinged folk album. I have about 95% of a review written for this. | | 2 |  | Intestine Baalism
Ultimate Instinct
Where the fuck did this come from? I'm still waiting for it, but the song I've heard was decent, if a little too "Jester Race" for me. But I'll take Intestine Baalism playing "Jester Race" over In fucking Flames anyday. | | 3 | | Lily Allen
It's Not Me, It's You
Lily Allen rules and while I can't explain why, I just want to bottle her up and drink her. That was creepy. | | 4 | | Ephel Duath
Through My Dog's Eyes
I've been struggling to get through this album for a few weeks now. 2009 hasn't started and it's already found what might be its worst album. Adding to their jazzy foundation, Ephel Duath seem to have adopted a penchant for Korn-like grooves and a flat out bizarre Southern drawl to the guitars. And did I mention the concept is an album being told through the eyes of a fucking dog? When you get to the parts about meat, I'll defy you not to laugh. You're better than me if you succeed. | | 5 |  | Hibria
The Skull Collectors
Defying the Rules is a personal favourite when it comes to speed metal, and based on premilinary listens "The Skull Collectors" is more of the same. That's a good thing. Hibria deliver powerful if cheesy vocals, impressive guitarwork and some of the stronges bass playing you'll hear this side of....I dont know. But it's impressive. | | 6 |  | Sombres Forets
Royaume de Glace
The fact that I can't use an accent circumflex is infuriating, but Sputnik's linguistic bias aside, this album is outstanding and needs a review. Modern black metal that doesn't make me giggle: a rarity! | | 7 | | Buried Inside
TBA
Buried Inside's as of yet untitled album is allegedly slated for a February release. I'm already slobbering with drool. | | 8 |  | Solstafir
Kold
S?lstafir' "K?ld" (see linguistic bias in 5) intrigues me because while "Masterpiece of Bitterness" was solid, it lacked the it factor I hope they can finally ascertain. | | 9 |  | Absu
Absu
Tara was great, but lacking. Here's hoping this is just great. I absolutely can't wait to hear the new co-vocalist because Pros-c-r-i-p-tor has a tendency to get, well, irritating. | | 10 | | Mos Def
The Ecstatic
No, I haven't heard anything off of this yet. But I can still all but guarantee it'll be fucking awful. I guess I'm just a masochist. | |

12.22.08 | Looks like I've got a lot to fucking add to the database! | Zoo
12.22.08 | 4 is fucking horrendous. 5 sounds mildly interesting. I recall downloading 6 at some point but just ignored it I guess. I'm relatively excited for some new Absu material, if they can build upon Tara. | Tyler
12.22.08 | Has 4 actually leaked? Earache sent it to be a long time ago and honestly, I haven't gotten through it yet. | Zoo
12.22.08 | I have had it for at least a few weeks. I don't know if it's still available now. As far as I can remember, I got it on a Russian metal site, probably metalarea or something. I gave it almost two listens through (just because it's ED) and I just deleted it. | StreetlightRock
12.22.08 | Looking forward to 3! | Thor
12.22.08 | I'm looking forward to 1 and 10 | Poet
12.22.08 | judging by the cover of 5, I have to actually listen to it. | sixdegrees
02.04.19 | looking forward to some of these |
