If there's one thing that makes me happy, it's when a melodeath band has balls, just like Ignominious Incarceration. It almost sounds like Amon Amarth meets Suffocation.1) Avarice2) Deeds of Days Long Gone3) Elegance in Aggression4) Saviour5) Of Winter Born6) Solitude7) Dynasty Damnation8) Tide of Pestilence9) In the Face of Absolution10) Elusion of MortalityMyspaceDownload
Every year a bunch of old-school bands who haven't been active in ages release their "comeback" album, which usually ends up not being so great *coughmetallicacough*. This time, we have Brutal Truth's first full-length album in 12 years. Fortunately, this album is far from being called a piece of crap. Evolution Through Revolution features the same fast, aggressive, politically-driven grindcore that made Brutal Truth famous in the 90s.1) Sugardaddy2) Turmoil3) Daydreamer4) On the Hunt5) Fist in Mouth6) Get a Therapist, Spare the World7) War is Good8) Evolution Through Revolution9) Powder Burn10) Attack Dog11) Branded12) Detached13) Global Good Guy14) Humpty Finance15) Semi-Automatic Carnation16) Itch17) Afterworld18) Lifer19) Bob Dylan Wrote Propaganda Songs20) Grind FidelityMyspaceDownload
Centaurus-A is a new death metal band on Listenable Records. Their debut Side Effects Expected is one of my favorite albums released this year. Centaurus-A, just like every other tech death band, shows extreme influence from Necrophagist, especially in the solos. However, these guys bring something else to the table: their brand of tech death is infused with a healthy dosage of thrash.1) The Praying Mantis2) Narcotic3) Drop Off4) Morning Tremble5) The Ease6) Incident/Accident7) Arson8) Dripping Red Canvas9) Selfmade Cage10) Resistance Ain't FutileMyspaceDownload
If I had to describe Russian Circles with one word, it would be groovy. Yea, I said groovy...what the hell? Anyway, Russian Circles is an instrumental band, playing post-rock with a little bit of a sludgy edge to it. Here's there latest album, Station.1) Campaign2) Harper Lewis3) Station4) Verses5) Youngblood6) XaviiMyspaceDownload
Once again, the Italians prove their extraordinary skill when it comes to death metal. Fleshgod Apocalypse is a relatively new band, with Oracles as their debut album. These guys aren't exactly your normal brutal death metal band. There's classical interludes scattered throughout the album and the guitar work is undoubtedly influenced a great deal by classical music. It almost seems as if Fleshgod Apocalypse could be classified neoclassical death metal.1) In Honour of Reason2) Post-Enlightenment Executor3) As Tyrants Fall4) Sophistic Demise5) Requiem in SI Minore6) At The Guillotine7) Embodied Deception8) Infection Of The White Throne9) Retrieving My Carcass10) OraclesMyspaceDownload
So Paco de Lucia is basically a living god. His album Zyryab combines a traditional style of flamenco with jazz fusion, creating a somewhat mysterious atmosphere. Jazz pianist Chick Corea plays on the title track and "Almonte" and flamenco guitarist Manolo Sanlucar plays on "Compadres."1) Soniquete2) Tío Sabas3) Chick4) Compadres5) Zyryab6) Canción de Amor7) Playa del Carmen8) AlmonteDownload

Here's Otkroveniya Dozhdya, a Russian band whose name I can't remember for shit. These guys play a melodic style of funeral doom.MyspaceDownload
Fen's basically one of those proggy black metal bands that sound like Enslaved. Nothing really special but I'd put it in my favorite albums this year so far.
1) Exile's Journey2) A Witness to the Passing of Aeons3) Colossal Voids4) As Buried Spirits Stir5) The Warren6) Lashed by the Storm7) BereftMyspaceDownload
You know those folk bands that make albums with five 10-minute songs that are super epic and awesome as hell? Yea? Finsterforst's one of those bands. Imagine Moonsorrow with a little bit more of a black metal edge and more folk instruments...oh yea, and German instead of Finnish.
