Good recent metal/rock albums?

[Liam]

Yeah, just recommend me some, I'm being a download whore.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Turisas - Battle Metal! \m/

[VerbalPuke]

Get anything you can find by Toxic Holocaust, incredible thrash metal. It's a one man band, and he kicks major amounts of ass.

His albums were all released in the 2000's so that's recent enough for me.

[DFF]

Disturbed - Ten Thousand Fists

Tyr - Ragnarok

I'll edit more in later.

Norma Jean's new record 'redeemer' is pretty bosting.

Erm, can't really think of anything else that's new.

[YI]

Into Eternity - "The Scattering Of Ashes" (2006)

Freak Kitchen - "Organic" (Late 2005)

Freak Kitchen - "Move" (2003 )

Between The Buried & Me - "The Anatomy Of" (2006) (BECAUSE COVERS ARE BITCHIN!!! Worth it purely for Bicycle Race)

Between The Buried & Me - "Alaska" (Late 2005)

Ihsahn - "The Adversary" (2006)

Yeah, knock yourself out. This isn't really my strong point though.

And Freak Kitchen are far from a metal band. Progressive-rock, and totally bitchin' for a 3-piece.

I haven't heard it yet, but Deftones' new album "Saturday Night Wrist" seems to be getting pretty good reviews. The Human Abstract's "Nocturne" is doing pretty well too and they're a band to watch out for as well. Misery Signals' "Mirrors" is a very quality metal album, not to mention that they're from Madison. IMO Killswitch Engage's new album is good, it's leaked already so go for it.

Others:

"Tequila" by Brand New Sin is getting some attention (though I haven't heard it yet either.)

"In the Absence of Truth" by Isis is good, not great, but it's a good listen.

[Liam]

Got Isis, KsE and Deftones already, will look into the others though.

One of my mates is big on Emporer, he gave me a copy a week or so back. Gave it a whirl or two. It's good stuff. Haven't given it a 'proper' listen yet though.

Yeah, I'm pretty big on Emperor myself, and I forgot he released an album this year.

Apparently Arsis' new album leaked online. I haven't heard it, but clearly that's something with enough potential awesomeness to warrant checking out.

I like how you are thinking (Y)

Me being a helpful soul (And having fuck loads of free messages) I decided to text my metal loving friend asking for some metal from this year. His reply;

"Goatwhore"

Either it's a band...or some kind of insult.

[Liam]

Hahah, cheers man.

[gunnar hendershow]

Goatwhore?

Fuck that shit.

Pig Destroyer mother fuckers.

[TheCrippler]

Yeah, new deftones is good. Dunno how I managed to forget that

[Bushmeister]

Goatwhore is nice. You could also look at Goatsnake, they're pretty good stoner-y metal.

Anyways, my recommendations. First, death/black metal:

Skinless - "Trample The Weak, Hurdle The Dead"

Keep Of Kalessin - "Armada"

Asmodeus - "Imperium Damnatum"

Impaled Nazarene - "Pro Patria Finlandia"

Marduk - "Plague Angel"

Vital Remains - "Dechristianize"

Deicide - "The Stench Of Redemption"

Soilent Green - "Confrontation"

Napalm Death - "Smear Campaign" and "The Code Is Red... Long Live The Code"

Then some stoner/doom/whatever:

Om - "Conference Of Birds"

Om - "Variations On A Theme"

Fireball Ministry "Their Rock Is Not Our Rock"

Pelican - "The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon The Thaw"

Have fun.
