Heavy Metal 2006: Blood Fire Update

Thus ends the metal thread
By the treachery of mods the thread is lost
The night falls and great is the triumph of evil
The league is broken
The last vestige of hope lives in the dreamerdown
Only he troubles the dark one's mind
Only he could bring ruin to the black foe
Though the land lies down in agony and the curse lives on
A new star shall arise
And a new thread shall come, again
So 2006 has assaulted our ears with the best flood of new metal in a decade. The list of new releases is long and I am not willing to keep it updated, so here it is as of now, according to dreamerdown:
**update**
go to page 28 for new list, as it is far too large for a single post.

I also haven't come up with anything, as after about 10 minutes of listening to the album on shuffle I turned it off, disgusted that I was listening to something on shuffle.
Last.fm is better.
Walri: I made a sandwich and lemonade today, they were both disgusting. I don't know how I do it, I need my mom to get back from vacation so I can make her prepare my food.
Iconslaughter: That was probably the most metal thing you've ever said.
PA metal thread 4 lyfe
One of the best metal records this year.
Not all vampires suck blood.
Not all of them die for love.
Sitting with bored friends while coming up with Cannibal Corpse song titles = awesome.
Dismember All Opposing Appendages
Erupting Uterus Tumor
Ejaculating Nails
etc.
Also, new Motorhead, Vader, etc. etc

Aborym - Generator
Fucking evil, sick, twisted, crazy metal. I just can't get enough of this album. Perfect for those moods where you feel like sitting next to a burning church and... burning more churches.
Decapitated - Organic Hallucinosis
Great death metal band put an interesting spin on the whole genre and on their own sound. It has an awesome groove to it and still manages to kick the same amount of ass as anything else from 2006.
Deicide - The Stench Of Redemption
For once I can almost take Glen Benton seriously now that he has some awesome guitarists riffing away in the background.
Kalmah - The Black Waltz
My only problem with Kalmah in the past was their vocals. But for some reason the deep growls really turned me in favor of this band. Awesome melodic death metal.
Mercenary - The Hours That Remain
Take the epicness of their past effort 11 Dreams and mix it into some soaring vocals and serious guitar work, and this album is in my 2006 best of list.
Necrophobic - Hrimthursum
Evil. Fucking evil. I love it.
Satariel - Hydra
Lyrically this album has some great ideas. The music is a bit lacking but it's still quite amazing for some laid back melodeath.
Slayer - Christ Illusion
Look at my avatar title.
Sodom - Sodom
There's nothing you can do
To stop me now
Wanted dead
The final sacrifice
Wanted dead
To preserve my reign
Strapping Young Lad - The New Black
Think Alien meets City with some great guitar hooks. I don't give a fuck you fucking fuck. Hell yeah they fucking suck.
Summoning - Oath Bound
:?:
:twisted:
:whistle:
Vader - Impressions In Blood
Come on how can you NOT love an album where one song's chorus is just,
God is dead
Dead
Helleluyah!
Vader have come back after The Beast and made an album which I can only describe as Litany meets De Profoundis.
So there's my round up. 10 years from now I hope to look back at 2006 as my generation's version of 1986.
I'd post mine but they're not exactly uh... politically correct.
Have you guys heard Thy Worshiper yet? It's pretty interesting folk metal, there are some good bits in there.

Katorz is my favourite album of 2006 so far.
Potemkin City Limits was my favourite of 2005
I think
I dunno
I'm just eyeballing it
I have no money or bandwidth for the time being and so I'm afraid I am going to be falling farther and farther behind this year, worse than I already am.
Also, no one has shown any Anata love
hey guyz howz it goen
Thank god for Sirius and cable radio!
I only buy about 3 or 4 albums a year (Last year it was Clutch - Robot Hive:Exodus, Mastodon - Leviathan, CoC - In the Arms of God, and Trivium - Acendancy).
I'm gonna have to pick and choose carefully this year, especially considering I have to get the new Maiden album and improve my Opeth catelog.
Speaking of Maiden, have you guys seen the new video?
So Kalmah is pretty good? I haven't heard anything by them, but I have been meaning to check them out. Is the new album a good starting point?
I need to get the new Vader however.
I definitely had to slide A Twist in the Myth up one category. It's still not perfect, but it is rock solid and I've listened a bunch.

Racer X.
Also, what's with Racer X's bass player being in the Mars Volta? Gaaaaaaaay.
Really? Awerome. I liked his other solo albums a lot, but I think he was trying way to hard to mix Iron Maiden and The Beatles :P
I tried to listen to Gilbert's Burning Organ but the vocals were terrible.
2004 for lyfe
I can't speak for the 'general', since I am but one person.
It's not nearly the trainwreck it could have been. Several of the non-promo tracks are decent, and I like them a lot more than the advance tracks. Still, even the thrashiest tunes on there are not nearly as exciting as their 80s run. Also there is a lot of very lazy 0-1-0-1 fret riffing in some of the breakdowns. I thought God Hates Us All had some better material overall.
