Skeletonwitch have made themselves one of the best heavy metal bands of the 21st century ever since the release of Beyond the Permafrost. Unlike many modern thrash bands, Skeletonwitch creates their own sound by mixing thrash, black metal, and blistering solos, as heard on the blackened shredfest that is the band's sophomore effort. If you haven't heard Skeletonwitch yet, then I suggest you hurry up and give this a spin.1) Upon Wings of Black2) Beyond the Permafrost3) Baptized in Flames4) Sacrifice for the Slaughtergod5) Vengeance Will Be Mine6) Limb From Limb7) Cast into the Open Sea8) Fire From the Sky9) Soul Thrashing Black Sorcery10) Remains of the Defeated11) Feast Upon Flesh12) Within My BloodMyspaceDownload (Mediafire)Download (Megaupload)
Ministry is one of the most important industrial artist. Beginning with Psalm 69, Ministry also incorporates some metal into their work. The moods on this album range from aggressive ("Hero" and "TV II") to just plain creepy ("Scare Crow" and "Psalm 69"). Psalm 69 is also a very special album for me, considering that it was one of the first metal albums I owned.1) N.W.O.2) Just One Fix3) TV II4) Hero5) Jesus Built My Hotrod6) Scare Crow7) Psalm 698) Corrosion9) GraceMyspaceDownload (Mediafire)Download (Megaupload)
After listening to Kragens, I can actually say that there's at least one French metal band I enjoy. Kragens of France plays a brand of power/thrash quite similar to that of Nevermore. However, Kragens vocalist Renaud Espeche (who sounds like a cross between Warrel Dane and Roy Khan) also employs the use of harsh vocals. Infight is the band's third full-length release. I really don't have much else to say, but listen, headbang, and enjoy!1) Deaf and Blind2) Lake of Fire3) Angels Among Monsters4) Tyranny of God5) Ten Treasons We Fight6) The Falling Man7) Only The Weak Survive8) Mask of the Damned9) MetalizeMyspaceDownload (Mediafire)Download (Megaupload)
Carnage is a band some of you might already know as Michael Amott's first band. Carnage is one of the most influential bands that helped Sweden create it's own brand of death metal. Unfortunately, Dark Recollections is the only album by this band. After this album, guitarist Michael Amott joined soon-to-be death metal legends Carcass and vocalist Matti Kärki, guitarist David Blomqvist and drummer Fred Estby formed Dismember.1) Dark Recollections2) Torn Apart
3) Blasphemies of the Flesh
4) Infestation of Evil
5) Gentle Exhuming
6) Deranged From Blood
7) Malignant Epitaph
8) Self Dissection
9) Death Evocation

Fishbone is an essential band for anyone interested in ska. This all-black Californian band fuses third-wave ska with a brand of funky punk similar to Faith No More and early Red Hot Chili Peppers. Fishbone's self-titled EP, also their first recorded material ever, contains the ska classic "Party At Ground Zero," which is one of the band's most popular tracks. Another album recommended is Fishbone's 1988 album Truth and Soul, which features a calmer, yet still incredibly fun, version of the band.1) Ugly2) Another Generation3) ?

School's started again, so I'll be posting albums a little less often now.On a side note, go see Carcass while they're still touring. I saw them last night and it was just amazing. And if you do go, make sure you get there early enough to catch Aborted, 1349 and Suffocation as well.
A black metal band is one of the last thing anyone would expect to come out of Saudi Arabia, one of the holiest places in the world. Al-Namrood describes themselves as "a blend of a fiendish Black Metal and an Archaic Arabian culture." Although the Middle Eastern theme is becoming more and more cliched in metal, the band manages to create a wonderful sound reminiscent to that of the second wave of black metal. The name Al-Namrood ("the non-believer" in English) is the name of the Babylonian king mentioned in the Qur'an who challenged the prophet Ibrahim and claimed to be God.1) Atba'a Alnamrood2) Fe Zafrat AlMout3) Nagoos Alkhatar4) Youm Tusaar Nar AljaheemMyspaceDownload (Mediafire)Download (Megaupload)
