01.06.09 | Don't know why but the covers for 9, 11 and 13 are wrong. Anyone know how to change them? | Tool121
01.06.09 | If you go on edit list, and then come out of edit list it normally puts different artwork on from a different album with the same name. | lucazade22
01.06.09 | thanks for that...13 is sorted. 9 and 11 don't show up but I'd rather the artwork not show up than be wrong.
Comments on the list? It has a bit of everything I think. Only metal genres not covered are power metal and hardcore. Maybe doom too but Daylight dies is definitely quite bleak/doom-ish!! | FistfulOfSteel
01.06.09 | 1, 5, 6, 9, 12 are all ive heard and likes | Nagrarok
01.06.09 | Some non-metal as well, perhaps? | lucazade22
01.06.09 | I don't really listen to much apart from metal. I don't mind the odd song but don't actually go out and buy the albums. Plus, The Bronx isn't metal. | south_of_heaven 11
01.06.09 | Abigal Williams? 36 Crazyfists? Killing Season by Death Angel? Nostradamus by Judas Priest?
Please excuse me while I laugh and vomit at the same time. | ninjuice
01.06.09 | Holographic Universe owns both Architect of Lies and "...the Thunder God". | lucazade22
01.06.09 | Never really liked 36 Crazyfists before but I gave their new one a chance and it's really good. What's wrong with Death Angel? And Nostradamus may have its flaws but it's got some good tracks. And I love Abigail Williams lol.
I hated Scar Symmetry's last album (previous one to holographic universe) so I didn't get their new one. | BallsToTheWall
01.06.09 | Agree with South. Alot of these are crappy, but a lot are good too. Eluveitie, Daylight Dies, Benea Reach, etc. The Ocean is from 2007. | lucazade22
01.06.09 | I know it's from 2007 but in the UK it didn't actually come out until well into 2008 so I included it in my list :P
It's like The Faceless new album. Can't wait for it but it comes out end of feb in the UK! | BallsToTheWall
01.06.09 | Kind of like how the new Deadlock album came out in Europe last November but in the U.S.A it comes out on January 23rd I believe. Check out the new Enslaved album for a masterpiece. | lucazade22
01.06.09 | Damn record labels...!!!
Never been a great fan of Enslaved. When I heard some songs off Ruun I didn't really like them that much. I haven't listened to Vertebrae yet. I might get it though seeing as there aren't any interesting new albums out in jan (don't think so anyway). | myhigherpie
01.06.09 | a lot of these are generic. Some of these are fantastic.
you're missing quite a bit. Check Meshuggah's Obzen, Enslaveds Vertebrae, Arghoslents the hornets of the Pogrom, Opeth's Watershed, and Protest the Hero's Fortress. | lucazade22
01.06.09 | As much as I've tried I can't really get into Meshuggah or Opeth.
Protest the Hero...I hear it got great reviews especially on this site. I'll probably give it a try.
Never heard of Arghoslents.
Oh...and I see you have In Mourning on your end of year list. I ordered it online yesterday. I missed it when it came out earlier this year. I hope it's as good as you say it is!! | fireaboveicebelow
01.06.09 | pretty cool list, especially 18 :)
I'm so glad scar symmetry isn't on here | Hawks10Pec
01.06.09 | 1, 5, 6, and 8 rule. Haven't heard the rest. Wheres Enslaved at? | TricksterGRex
01.06.09 | LOL OMNIUM GATHERUM | JAV
01.06.09 | I was gonna say the same thing about Precambrian but you win
this time...
Black Ocean is a pretty enjoyable album as well. Needs more Burst. |
