Listening to Lacuna Coil's Black Anima album for the past few days, and this track is just exceptional:

Yep, got them in my youtube playlist alongside Jinjer, In Flames and Beast in Black.

Interesting composition.. just need some high lyrics over the top of the shotgun drum section..

So far the new Nile album isn't quite early-days level, but the best thing they've done in years.

not really doing a lot for me. they are trying a few new things but the formula is the same, the riffs, George kollias drumming, the new vocalist hasn't really brought that new a voice
it's all well executed but a tad boring and too familiar sounding for me. i've been listening to them for 19 years at this point so indifference is bound to happen
first listen and opinions can change but....

 

[Somnambulist]

Yeah it's nothing to rave about, but the bar over the last decade has been set very low!

[opethdisciple]

Not my typical fanfare but listening to this currently:

 

[Grandmaster Fap!]

New Cattle Decap dropped.

New Cattle Decap dropped.

Listening to this right now. Actually quite good. I like it. Give it a thumbs up.

If I was to bend it to my tastes I would say more of the mellower parts than then bits that just sound like cannibal corpse.

Whats their best album?

This is not bad either:

 

[opethdisciple]

Can people start posting their metal album/s of the year please.

I'll add:

Opeth - In Cauda Venenum
Tool - Fear Innoculum

 

[wolfie138]

Lindemann F&M
Rammstein

Most listened to physical purchase (vinyl) has probably been Green Lung's Woodland Rites.

Otherwise I'd probably list my favourites, in no particular order, as follows:

Idle Hands - Mana
Lunar Shadow - The Smokeless Fires
Mammoth Weed Wizard *Bar-steward* - Yn Ol I Annwn
Warcrab - Damned in Endless Night
Palace in Thunderland - The King of the Empty Aeon

I'm listening to this right now. I like it.

It reminds me of a few things. Joy Division and Therapy.

Idle hands is definitely the pick of the bunch.
