The Official Metal Thread

New Dark Tranquility leaked yesterday. it's pretty good. Stanne does clean vocals on one song and it doesn't make me want to commit suicide, so that's a big plus.

Is it worth checking out for someone whose not a big fan of Melo-Death Metal anymore? I sort of like the new Nightrage album if that helps.

you could ask that question, or you could just listen to it and see for yourself. Yeah i said it, bitach!

[Punky Skunk]

I would suggest downloading the Gorod album instead.

Just thought I'd pass along my discovery that one of metal's most reputable vendors is selling off a surprise stock of the classic Monstrosity debut "Imperial Doom" for a mere $13.

These things usually go for at least $30-$40 on eBay, so they are being quite generous with their asking price.

Here's the store link: http://www.evilmusic.com/store/cdsm.html

Monstrosity - Imperial Doom

It's unfortunate that the band wouldn't release anything else of such a worthy caliber, but better one classic album than none at all, I suppose.

The cover-art for the new Mithras album has gone final:

The album itself is done as well, but Candlelight is, for some silly reason, keeping it from us for another few months. A teaser track is still up on the band's Myspace, for those that haven't heard it: www.myspace.com/domainofmithras

That artwork looks like the side of a 70's Rock and Roll Van.

Speaking of great deals on classic early efforts by now-worthless bands, it seems that the Candlelight online store is clearancing the first two Aeternus records for $5 a piece:



Both albums come highly recommended for fans of metal with an emphasis on mood and atmosphere.

Rwake - Voices of Omens.

Oh. My. God. This might be the best sludge record since... ever. I mean seriously. Wow.
