havent heard the newest slayer, behemoth or megadeth but my picks are, in no order:
suffocation-blood oath
goatwhore-carving out the eyes of god
gwar-lust in space
black dahlia murder-deflorate
cannibal corpse-evisceration plague
napalm death-time waits for no slave
man my list looks like a lot of other ones haha…im kinda outta the loop with some releases….fucking bills and economy!
pfft just because MY list doesn’t have any black metal albums doesn’t mean it sucks. that’s the music i like. i didn’t say your lists suck even though they do so … 8D
My list doesn’t have a SINGLE black metal band on it. What a dumb cunt, hahahaha! You don’t have a fucking clue what any of those bands were. Good job at showing what a fucking fool you are.
Anyways, Insomnium’s “Down With The Sun” = Simply one of the best melodic death metal songs of all time. To be able to craft beautiful melody like that is a true gift. Quoting a review “Down With The Sun features the best harmonized riff the band has ever conceived during the verse; it is sheer brilliance and makes you feel like this genre was invented yesterday, it’s that exciting.”
A friend of Insomnium is a friend of mine.
