New metal (NOT nu-metal!) (debut album, albums, Metalhead, goth metal, member)

Sound Devastation · 09-23-2006, 12:11 PM

Just a few thoughts on some new metal albums coming out this year.. 2006 is proving to be a year of good metal! we've already had amazing releases from Kayo Dot, Yakuza, Amenra, Sika Redem, Rosetta, Atavist, Moss, Om etc and more coming up from..

My Dying Bride - A line of Deathless Kings. a slightly more upbeat turn for them but vocals are on top form and the musicianship is darkly hauting as always.

Goatwhore - A jaunting Curse. One for the extreme sludge/doom fans out there.. stupidly heavy and rather good.

Sunn O))) & Boris - Altar. This is a stunning peice of work. Boris add drums and rhythm to the beautiful but usually unbearable drones of Sunn O))) to make what is possibly the best music in either bands back catalogue. Anyone know when its out?

Mastodon - Blood Mountain. Its not as bad as i first thought... kudos to them for having Scott Kelly on the second track, he makes it slightly more worth listening to.

Flatlands - Vermuyden. you cant expect me to post without a mention :p but seriously, its better than the new isis album.

thoughts?

Oh man, I've been hunting around for leaks of that Sunn O))) and Boris album for a while now. It sounds REALLY good.

Have had a very brief look into Goatwhore too and can't remember what I thought of them, certainly sound like some promising albums to be on thier way out soon.

i think leaks are out there... but i get most my early stuff as promos.

I'm just looking forward to Converge now.

I can get ahold of that Boris/Sunn O))) split if needed

KHANATE are SPLITTING UP

thats just ruined my thoughts of this year. Loads of bands have split up... but Khanate are one of my all time favourites.

riseagainstrocks · 09-25-2006, 02:06 PM

Almost all the best bands aren't together anymore.

you cant forget dragonforce, those guys are reshaping metal and might be doing well to help many non-goth metalheads find their musical identity.

Dragonforces guitar solos bore me.

&I'll upload My Dying Bride "A Line of Deathless Kings" if anyone wants it. I need to get around to listening to it.
