The new GY!BE album was also pretty sweet, not even close to the Seer still, though.
http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/godspeed_you__black_emperor/allelujah__dont_bend__ascend_/

So far my favorite metal release has to be...Parallax II by Between the Buried and Me.  I'm not super crazy about the album, like it's not better than Colors, but it's definitely their second best LP.  Other than that some other good ones are Gamma Knife by Kayo Dot, All We Love We Leave Behind by Converge, Epicloud by Townsend, Drought by Deathspell Omega, and Portal of I by Ne Obliviscaris.

I haven't heard the new Enslaved album, RIITIIR, or I haven't heard apparently the new Negura Bungent, Dordeduh.

I would just like to also say that this is still the only thing I've heard this year that beats Vaura on my list.  Shame it doesn't really qualify as metal.

I decided to finally start catching up with 2012, so I picked up OM and Converge's latest.  OM's is incredible, the sludge equivalent of Agitation Free.  Haven't listened to Converge just yet.

I also still need their split with Napalm Death.

I've got to start ranking the albums I consider worthy of my list.  So many I'm waiting on within the next 2 months though.  Hard to say what my favourite album has been thus far, but I'm leaning now towards Napalm Death.

As expected, the new Seven Kingdoms slid nicely into 7th.

Hit 70 reviews now, still need to catch up with all the album's I've heard though.

And if the single is anything to go by the new Kamelot may just be their best album for several years.

I've lost hope completely.  It WILL be better than their last release (not hard to do), but they keep comparing it so how much it sounds like None So Vile and it won't come close.

Well, here's a first look:



Fucks sucks.  They sound so behind the genre and uninspired.  Basically the opposite of None So Vile.  Also sounds way too produced and mechanical.

At least it's probably going to be better than The Unspoken King.

But then again, that's like saying having diarrhoea is probably going be better than vomiting.
