I don't have "Zos Kia Cultus", i'll have to snag that, cause I love Demigod.

Sorry if anyone is offended by the bump, but I just had to heap praise on this:
Decapitated - Organic Hallucinosis (death metal)
This may only be 32 minutes long, but jesus christ it's ****ing brutal. I wasn't familiar with Decapitated until hearing this, but it has spurred me to hunt down their other albums. If they are 1/10th as hard and crushing as this album, then consider me a fan for life!

I'm selling that album in case anyone is interested
It's pretty meh, especially compared to their first two. Winds of Creation is godlike.

I think it's better than The Negation, but yeah, Winds of Creation is where it's at for awesome Decapitated.

QFT. The Negation was pretty poor. The vocals in Organic ruin it for me.
Winds of Creation >> Nihility >> Organic Hallucinosis >>>> The Negation
Everyone needs to look into Ram-Zet

Sabaton - Primo Victoria
Described as "war" metal, this World War II concept album is one of my newly discovered favorites. Everything from the vocals to the soaring solos, to the awesome keyboard work, reeks of quality metal on this album.
Highly recommended.

I've been singing praises for this album for a long time, check the first page.
Their new CD (which comes out in a month) is going to be awesome from the 1 song I heard. Sabaton is incredible and they own the power metal genre.

Ooops, forgot to check the 1st page to see if they had been mentioned. Oh well, it bears repeating: Listen to Sabaton!
I'm jamming to Bolt Thrower's Warmaster right now and it's awesome. Their new one, "Those Once Loyal", is also fantastic.

Thought I would recommend some grind and this seems like a good thread to do so (not all new, but whatever):
To Separate The Flesh From The Bones - Utopia Sadistica
Take 2 parts Amorphis and 1 part HIM and you get TSTFFTB, amazing Carcass-grind with guest appearance by Jeff Walker.
General Surgery - Left Hand Pathology
Again, Carcass-grind, debut album from a band that started in the 1980's. Entombed fans should recognize the name of the album
Jigsore Terror - World End Carnage
Oldschool grind/death, in the same vein as Death. The album World End Carnage was produced by Mieszko Talarczyk (RIP). Guest vocals by Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity, Ex-Bloodbath, Nightingale and many more) on the track Slaughtered Existence.
Exhale - Prototype
Misery Index-like deathgrind.
Also remember to pick up Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain. It's due out sometime in August I believe.
Amazing album, I expect nothing else from Agalloch.

I would call soilwork more melodic death than thrash.
Anyway, I've been very heavily into Nevermore recently. I'm listening to Dreaming Neon Black right now, which is a very kick ass album.
I've only seen one reccomendation of Edge of Sanity- Crimson in this thread so let me add another. It's really a fantastic song/album (whatever you want to call it).

I'm the voice of anti-extreme metal.
I like a lot of metal, but for this post, how about some Stratovarius?
Visions
BTW I just searched the OT for "metal" and someone mentioned this band called Miles Beyond and I looked on youtube for some songs, they are fucking awesome! Holy shit, the singer sounds a lot like Bruce Dickenson, and the music sounds like power metal to me though I'm not good at categorizing music. I think they are very small and obscure, but you can get the CD from their website. I'm going to order the CD form there sometime soon. I liked what I heard.

The lack of In Flames in this thread is criminal. Best metal group since Metallica and best rock group around today. It's amazing that they consistantly release great album after great album. It's rare to find a CD with one or two good songs on it, but they deliver hit after hit. Anyone who hasn't heard them needs to visit their My Space Page immediately.

You have to admit that Ordinary Story by In Flames is one of the best songs ever. Hell, Enslaved practically ripped it off for one of their tracks.
Also, Between Two Worlds by I is a crackin' good album.

In Flames can't even carry a torch (lol) for Soilwork. Even though Soilwork followed In Flames' exact progression, they did it so much more kick ass. Even when Soilwork sold out, they did it better. The only unlistenable Soilwork album is Stabbing the Drama.
When I listen to In Flames, I think, wow I'm gonna go back to listening to Dark Tranquillity.
In Flames is shit now. I couldn't believe they went with a hardcore/metalcore singing style on the song that somehow made it onto GH or rock band.
That's the same band that made Jester Race. Unbelievable.
Death Metal is pointless after Death, Appalling Spawn and Lykathea Aflame for me. I haven't been able to listen to anything but them when I feel the need for extreme metal anymore.

BENIGHTED
DEMIURG
KRONOS
Three bands that have put out some of the best metal albums this year.
I don't know as much about metal as you guys, but I really should recommend one band to you: Recreational Episiotomy. For anyone familiar with the SMW album from a few years back, this is Xoc's slightly more serious project, and it fucking rocks. All the stuff on the website is free - two and a half EPs worth. It's all great too. Really inventive, fast, thrashy metal.
Check out the Ameribombada mini-EP if you're only going to check out one thing. It's only 3'33" long, and Mishmash is a classic.

There are only three genres in that post: power metal, metalcore (with little metal influence), and not metal (HIM).
SnakeXs said:
*laughs* Well... Sonata Arctica really aren't Power Metal, so I just called it "fast metal"
and HIM is very much metal, christ they always have been from a musical standpoint 'metal' it is just that the metal scene doesn't like it ^.^
and Nightwish no longer fits Power Metal, they used to but now they are more melodic operatic (is there a genre for it?)
X Japan is heavy metal with a huge slice of classical on the side
Really... it was just easier to divide it how I did than list all the broken up genres... :lol
