I said it in the last thread and I'll say it again. This album by Naeramarth is pretty awesome. You guys should check it out if you like a little progressive black metal hybrid stuff. Kind of like Ihsahn or Leprous style
Sweet. Definitely up my alley.
Even after listening to Gamma Ray; I still prefer Blind Guardian over anything else. First and foremost I can not give enough of Hansi's god-tier vocals. I like Gamma ray but, the lead vocalist is ehhhhh at times he sounds too shrill for me. Could also be I'm a major WoT nerd and fantasy nerd. I dunno I just think they're the best I've heard.
Almost through watching the Master of Puppets video and they are great. Love the fresh perspective on a song that I've loved for more than 25 years.

This was another unknown band/album that surprised me and I'm liking a lot recently. Band's called DVNE and the album is Asheran. Check it out on Bandcamp. It's kind of like Elder/Mastodon/Baroness sludge metal with a bit of psychedelic prog tinge to it.
I really like these! This thread is off to a great start.
Here's a couple more of my favorite tracks and artists:
Sigh - Hangman's Hymn/In Paradisum/Das Ende
Japanese extreme metal that I can't categorize. Their music is wild. Controlled chaos at it's best. Imaginary Sonicscape is a fantastic whirlwind of an album.
Nightwish - Ever Dream (Live)
If you have written off Nightwish in the past, I recommend checking them out with Floor Jansen. I never really liked Nightwish until she joined. Her voice is incredible and I think she has elevated their music to another level. Her version of Ghost Love Score is unreal.

They put up a new one about War Pigs from Sabbath the other day and I'm pretty sure you can hear the loud thud of their hard ons hitting the table. I was pretty sure a groovier sound was their thing and boy is it. Lol. What's funny is when something doesn't work, they really try to walk on eggshells and not just flat out say something blows. Slayer was a bomb for them and I think Pantera was too. I'm waiting for some really extreme shit to get reviewed just for laughs.
I tend to lean towards post-metal, black metal, stuff with more "atmospheric leanings" within the genre, but glad to see this thread exists and definitely following.
Just got around to listening through Amenra's Mass VI. Love this band and glad to have new material from them.

Hi guys, I will use this thread to post my first reply!
How about listing our personal top 10 albums of the year when we get closer to the end of the year?
I will most likely have these albums on my list:
Wolves in the Throne Room - Thrice woven
The Lurking Fear - Out of the voiceless grave
Nokturnal Mortum - Verity
Vintersorg - Till Fjälls II
Fellwarden - Oathbearer
The Ruins of Beverast - Exuvia
God Dethroned - The World Ablaze
Paradise Lost - Medusa
I also have high hopes for the new Summoning album coming out on the 5th of January.

There has been some good new releases in the past weeks, at least this year until September has been a bit of a letdown to me personally.
New Wolves and Bell Witch are great top contenders for AOTY to me, don't know if people consider Chelsea Wolfe, but she's there for me.. There were great releases this past friday too, new Ne Obliviscaris, Hanging Garden and Bloodred Hourglass are very good.

I think I've listened to krallice - loum & blut aus nord - deus salutis meae at least 6-7 times each since Friday
some solid end of the year releases

This album is wonderful and most surely on my top 10 this year. I had dabbled in Amenra before but this is the first one that really hooked me. So many good releases towards the end of this year. I'll put together a list later today when I get home from work
Just nabbed Agalloch's The Mantle album this weekend.. amazing stuff
Would love some recommendations for similar sounding bands/albums, perhaps with a bit deeper vocals.

New Chelsea Wolfe is so, so good. She can do no wrong in my eyes. Bell Witch is on my "to listen" list as I love everything else they've done. I'm always hesitant with WITTR for some reason, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it to some degree. Need to check out the others you mentioned and a lot of the stuff people have posted in here.
Nice to see a metal thread!
You have been given great recommendations! Really lots of stuff!
If you like Hansi's voice so much, then you can also check Demons and Wizards. It is a side project by Hansi and Schaffer (guitarist of Iced Earth).

Wow this is GOOD.
On the other news, bought ticket for Vader/Kreator concert in January \m/
As if my backlog wasn't bad enough, I now have like 5 threads with a regular stream of stuff to check out...

Trying to hit the Chicago date for sure. I can only imagine how crushing Bell Witch must be in a live setting.
Killer. Bell Witch should be legit --- but Primitive Man will do the crushing :) They loud as fuck
Yeah I'm going next week. It's a co-headlining tour so I'm guessing both bands will play an hour or more (BW playing the new album in full?). Should be brutal.
From what I'm told, both will have around an hour to play. Bell Witch will not be playing their entire new album/track but a large portion of it -- with the accompanying b&w movie.
No word on who plays first/last.. I'm hoping Bell Witch plays first and then Primitive Man wakes us back up from our nightmares.
Maze of Terror - The Hunger
New split with Witchaven. Known the band members for a while now, love their sound really cool death/thrash from Peru

Since my other recommendations of random surprising stuff went well, here's my favorite out-of-nowhere release this year. "Skadi" by The Flight of Sleipnir is definitely one of my top 10 albums for the year. Might make it top 5. It's mostly folksy sort of black metal in the vein of like an Agalloch/Pillorian/Deafheaven but with just a tinge of psychedelic sort of early Pink Floydian prog in it. So fucking good.
The cover is probably my favorite of the year, too. So amazing.

Oooooooh shit, first post will definitely be here. Love the recommendations you guys post up <3
It really is, I've had it on repeat.

Check out the Demons & Wizards self-titled (same singer), and Persuader (BG soundalike), particularly The Hunter and Evolution Purgatory.
Haven't even heard them yet, somehow. Gonna give a listen before the date rolls around!
Went to see Power Quest for the third time this month last night at Camden Underworld. I'm shattered! Was such a great show and I'd never heard of Death Valley Knights before then but they were really decent too.
And from the show...
Also saw Dragonforce twice this month, bringing my total for them up to four. Please say this OT considers power metal decent.

They came to my home town last year and they were fantastic. It was even fun to see them play their Heritage and onward material, which I'm not a fan of.
I've seen them a few times and honestly the Heritage tour was one of the absolute best times. They played fucking fantastic. I haven't seen them since, though.
Recent live recordings of their older material sounds kinda iffy now, though. Mike's growls are not good anymore sometimes.
New forum just in time for some new Seventh Wonder news! Still a couple months out from the comments section. And the wait from 2010 continues.
Dear friends,
It is with great pleasure that I can share with you this exciting news:
SEVENTH WONDER is back with their fifth studio album, titled 'Tiara'.
The new album is now in the final stages of mixing, and it is being mixed at Lionheart Studio in Oslo, Norway by Oyvind Voldmo Larsen (who also mixed "Inner Enemy" and "The Promise").
It is the first studio album to feature Stefan Norgren on drums, and in two weeks the album will be passed on to Jens Bogren of Fascination studios for mastering. Jens has previously worked on albums by Symphony X, Katatonia, Opeth and James LaBrie.
The 13 tracks of this concept album will visit some new sonic spaces for Seventh Wonder, while staying true to their form.
After the mastering, the finished album will be delivered to Frontiers Records for a world wide release.
"We've watched you since the dawn of time,
with every moment gone by.
A million suns fade and die,
this is the end?"
Beware, for they're coming….!

im going to that gig! mostly to see enslaved ,kinda hoping both bands play more of their older stuff honestly tho
Sivyj Yar might be up your ally,and as mentioned above Gallowbraid should do the trick too
Kreator is coming to town and I'd love to see them
But I'd also have to potentially sit through an hour or two of Sabaton

Sounds like this will be right up my alley. I am also a sucker for cool covers.
Will check it out later!
Lol whats wrong with Sabaton? :P
They are good fun !
The two genres of metal I can never get into are Power Metal and Black Metal, though there is a tiny tiny bit of black metal I think is alright, I kinda just hate power metal. So I'm not really looking forward to that. In which case I hope Kreator goes on first so I can just leave afterwards honestly.
