top picks of 2008!
okay, so I really havn't bought all that many new releases but here are a few that came out this year I that I totally dig.

arghoslent - hornets of the pogrom
fucking amazing album. epic fucking death metal, otherwise self-proclaimed as "totalitarian death metal". crushing vocals, clear and natural (no ugly double ups!). riffs that soar and sear while fucking devastating and dominating. wicked memorable solos that just ring fucking true. fuck politics this band is fucking good. everybody I’ve played this for on a blind listen fucking loved it. I’ll be happy to wait another 7 years for the next masterpiece.

darkthrone - dark thrones and black flags
perfect fucking album. i've totally dug what darkthrone has been doing this decade and this release is the perfect culmination of genius. this one is full of fucking anthems. very well developed riffs and some gloomy ass licks that just plagues you numb. total respect to this band for making an amazing 14th album, very inspirational! BREAK THE CHAINS!

darkthrone – frostland tapes
being a fairly rabid darkthrone fan such as myself, I was totally thrilled to see this collection released. I loved the “preparing for war” collection and this 3 disc set provides a crucial look into those early ass demos that present darkthrone as the total death metal force they originated as. not to mention they tossed a fucking rare rehearsal tape from during the Goatlord sessions in there which features nothing but pure instrumentation sans vocals. recommended for any darkthrone nut especially those who tend to give up on them with panzerfaust.

decrepit birth - diminishing between worlds
this is fucking zen. such an incredible progression from their first album but still true to form never yielding to restrictions. technically proficient but never overwhelming. One of those albums where I would show to anyone who was curious about Death Metal. sit back, light it up and enjoy-you'll be traveling to a corner of your conscious you never knew.

duffy - rockferry
a man needs his soul and duffy is mine. i listen to this probably more than anything else in the past 3 months, in the car, in the shower, or fucking wasted, she never lets me down. skip mercy and listen to the other singles.

deeds of flesh - of what's to come
oh man. this is the album I’ve always wanted deeds to make. if for some reason you find deeds of flesh to be boring, bland, repeative-then check out this release. Stepping it up with a fresh 2nd guitarist and an amazing new bass player, this is delight of all things technical but yet total focused and devoted to making crushing music that never trends with current. well worth the wait since “crown of souls”, now if only these fuckers would play new england…it’s been like 8 years or something, since the path of the weakening tour!

misery index – traitors
goddamn! I’ve been a fucking fierce fan of these boys since the first ep but this album is fucking devastating. by far their most militant, angry and focused release yet. this band continues to grow together in wonderful ways constantly belting out relentless metal that grinds the fuck out of the norm. still one of the best live bands around these days!

REVOCATION, DYSENTERY, and COLD NORTHERN VENGEANCE would be in this list but I don't have their albums yet : (
