Silverstein's " A Shipwreck in the Sand " is a pretty awsome album...id recomend to any metal fan

Yes! I'm also hoping for a North American tour. BTW good to see another person who listens to Demilich.

I'm really digging the Augury new album. Good stuff.

Also I'm not sure if I would call The Devil Wears Prada metal, but I'm not going to start because I'd never finish.

New Amon Amarth song available, check out their myspace!

Constellations by August Burns Red. Easily the most complete and best metalcore album I've ever heard.

Christian Metalcore...barely.

Any questions? Message me and I can help.

Anybody else lookin forward to the new baroness or skeletonwitch? Both are comin out Oct. 13, baroness put up a track on their myspace, havent heard any of the new skeletonwitch yet though

Hmm I didn't know either of them had a new album dropping. I'll proboably pick both of them up at some point, and I'm definetely going to go check out the baroness song now.

Also (not to get sidetracked, but) the videogame Brutal Legend comes out that day. Every self respecting metalhead with a console to play it one should get it.

There were a few albums this year I just can't get enough of...

Cattle Decapitation - The Harvest Floor
Obscura - Cosmogenesis
Gnostic - Engineering the Rule

...being the top ones. The Harvest Floor is a simply crushing album, that and the Gnostic album are my favorites over all.
Lamb of God's 'Wrath' was pretty good. Better than Sacrament in my opinion, but I still find myself going back to NAG/ATPB/AOTW more. I've been enjoying the new Job For a Cowboy as well. Nice to see them step more toward a technical death style, they certainly have potential. Not that I don't like all deathcore, I find the 'It's All Happening' by Iwrestledabearonce rather fun to listen through.

On an up and coming/underground release, I got a copy of Nailed Shut's (of MN) Indecent Disposal from a friend out there. Definitely worth checking out.

Yeah, Baroness is insanely good. I am very pleased by this album. I enjoyed their other work, but this one sticks with me more. Easily one of the best albums of the year.

1. Born of Osiris- A Higher Place
2. After the Buriel-Rareform rerelease (with new vox!)
3. No Consequence- In the Shadow of Gods
4. Iwrestledabearonce-It's all happening
5. August Burns Red-Constellations

So, BOO blew me out of hte water; their level of technicality and song writing has so far superseded  A New Reign, which i thought was pretty god damn impossible. Insanely catchy, well written, and most importantly GROOVEY and ORIGINAL album. Really makes me want to dance. ATB somehow tightened their original mix and their new vocalist definitly handles the parts better. Blindingly technical too, and boy is it groovey. No Consequence is a glorious gem i discovered recently; technical,groovey, in the vein of BOO, but with a drummer sent from hell. At frist i was 100% positive he was a drum machine, but i watched some live videos and apparrently he's human (just barely). Special place in my heart for Iwrestledabearonce becasue the girl vocalist is brutal and they are a great schizo-core band. August burns red is in my top 5 just for the studio engineering. They don't even have to rely on the sub sonic booms that are always in newer tech-death-core bands; their tones are just so well mixed, the breakdowns naturally rip the eyes out of you. I'm biased against august burns red bceuas ei don't that much like openly religious bands (i am not a biggot, it's a matter of principal). Satanism doesn't count, because everyone  with half a brain cell knows thats barely anything more than a joke.
