i'm with you on opeth, ihsahn, and enslaved. i enjoyed the meshuggah album as well, but it isn't one of my favorites.
[Dec 9,2008 12:11pm - c.DeAD ""]
Virus-"The Black Flux"
CNV-"Domination and Servitude"
New Hank 3
Still have yet to hear the new Lugubrum or Lifelover, but I am sure they would be in my list.
[Dec 9,2008 12:16pm - ouchdrummer ""]
hmmm.... i am having trouble saying this due to my major dissapointment when it came out..... but i take it back. I love the new Faceless.
The Faceless - Planetary Duality.
Takes a WHILE to get used to if your real into "Akeldama", but after that it's all gravy.

Totally understandishable. (especially with my previous raves against it) and i think many people STILL won't like it. But if you were into Fredrik Thordendal's "Sol Niger Within" Album, and you were into "Akeldame", it's almost like a melting of the two. The Fredrik influence is huge, almost to the point of rip-off in some parts, but i love that record so it's ok. I would give it a try, just be ready for lame sounding ALL-ELECTRONIC drums. I mean, i dig triggers, but all electric?
[Dec 9,2008 12:22pm - orgymf@work ""]
i have not heard one new release this year that is worth mentioning.
hold on....let me beat him to the punch
FuckIsMySignature : that's because you are too picky
i just saved you some typing[Dec 9,2008 12:23pm - FuckIsMySignature ""]

[Dec 9,2008 12:27pm - orgymf@work ""]

[Dec 9,2008 12:28pm - orgymf@work ""]
the angry lifestyle that was supposed to say
[Dec 9,2008 12:30pm - FuckIsMySignature ""]
i'd rather my channel my hatred towards specific things.
[Dec 9,2008 12:32pm - orgymf@work ""]

it's just a wide variety of specific things.
variety makes life better.

I am a huge Nick Cave fan! Although nothing by them has grabbed me recently as much as "No more shall we part" but i will definately still check out the new one. None of my friends like Nick Cave anymore, so i don't hear about new records immediately. They were still one of the best shows ever at the Orpheum in '02.

Oh, shit. I thought it was a recent release. I just got into them this month when they played at Valentine's, so I'm not fully up to speed.

bobNOMAAMRooney mentioned Darkspace III. fucking awesome. love that band. they played with lunar aurora and sear bliss (I believe) somewhat recently in Germany. that would have been an awesome fucking show.

Good thread...giving me some good ideas to play on my radio show.
[Dec 9,2008 5:51pm - arilliusbm ""]
I was going to say Primordial's new album (fucking kills) but it was in 2007. This year's flown the fuck by. I can't even remember which albums came out in 2007 or 2008 now.
[Dec 9,2008 5:52pm - ouchdrummer ""]
yeah i had to WIKI decrepit birth to see if it was this year.
[Dec 9,2008 5:53pm - arilliusbm ""]
ouch: you still at work? i drove into work today and my car's in southie.
[Dec 9,2008 5:54pm - ouchdrummer ""]
Nice, yeah i am at work. I am just leaving. Where in southie did you park?
[Dec 9,2008 5:56pm - arilliusbm ""]
near the WTC, behind the children's museum. not really "southie" per se, but close enough to be considered.
[Dec 9,2008 6:02pm - ouchdrummer ""]
yeah, it's southie. Nice man, if i was going home i would tell you to drop by..... but i am not.
