Magma's �m�hnt�tt-R� was my top pick
I rated it: RawksRawksRawksRawksRawks(but I don't think it quite reaches those head-banging heights).

Other favourites include:

Miriodor - Avanti
Led Bib - Sensible Shoes
Aranis - Songs from Mirage
Present - Barbaro
Stanley Clarke - Jazz in the Garden
Cheer Accident - Fear Draws Misfortune
miRthkon - Vehicle

Not a very metal list, unfortunately, but I plan to get more modern metal albums.

I liked Evangelion, although it didn't compare to The Apostacy, and certainly not to Demigod.

I really liked the first four tracks on Evangelion but the next four after that were torture to get through. I didn't mind the last track though.

Assjack any ? It's not often a country-rocker releases a full metal/hardcore album (Hank Williams III is a fan of Black Flag, cf the 3 bars of his nickname 'III' on the cover of the full-country album 'straight to hell' and is a friend of Phil Anselmo, Buzz Osborne and Dale Crover, as well as Jello Biaffra)...

Halford-Winter songs, no doubt about it. The metal god made a Christmas album and my parents really liked it. It's a little bit strange when you hear Rob Halford singin'about Christmas, and maybe it's foolish, but it is daring and original.

Didn't catch any good metal releases, I'm really not a fan of modern/melodic metal and the production styles associated with them.
