This Year In Metal

[spawnofthesith]

Lots of good stuff mentioned in this thread, to add to the list:

Defeated Sanity
Wormed
Deeds of Flesh
Rivers of Nihil
Tesseract

And a shitload more that I'm not remembering right now, this year has been a metalhead's wet dream

I love that these dudes are still around. Somewhere I have their original demo, a cassette tape, obviously copied by hand onto one of those old clear-cased tapes, the "cover" a piece of blue-green construction paper that was run through a copier with spotty black artwork and sounding like something recorded in a garage, MAYBE using four separate tracks. The music was incredible though. You could just feel the quality in the composition and playing, even if the packaging was sorta lulzy. That had to have been before '92, because I remember listening to it driving to High School.

DAMN that new tune brings the rock.

Oh man, that is awesome! Yeah, their first LP came out in 91, so probably 90 or so?

I was just listening to it today before work. Pretty awesome stuff.

I wish DJ's vocals on Nonexistent and Inhabit were a bit better. I struggle listening to them cause of that.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the new album! I'll have to check out their previous one too.

shit how could I forget Suffocation?

It was a solid album, but it didn't blow me away like I was hoping for

I can't be the only one who thought that solo was terrible. It must be self produced because I can't imagine anyone professional listening to that and saying, "That was the fucking take!"
