This is my Best Albums of 2011 list. Some of these albums are not “metal” per se, but still amazing releases. As you may notice, I’m a fan of prog and grind and instrumental things.
I was fortunate enough to see/will be seeing all of these bands live this year (excluding 2, 6, 7, 14, 15 & 20), and all of these live performances blew my mind.

23. Thomas Giles – Pulse
22. Touché Amoré -Parting The Sea Between The Brightness and Me
21. Russian Circles – Empros
20. Rotten Sound – Cursed

This new video is for the track “Destroyer of the Universe” and it’s a killer track. It was one of my favorites on the band’s latest album Surtur Rising. The video isn’t that epic, but it’s not bad either. It’s a live vid, ya know? Those are kind of hit or miss. I wouldn’t flat out bomb on this because it’s a damn good track and the Amon Amarth dudes might kill me. Anyway, the video isn’t’ bad, like I said, there are just a lot of live videos out there now. Don’t let me spoil your appetite, however. Here is the new video from Amon Amarth!

Metal Blade is on top of their shit this year. That is for sure. of the last two albums I’ve listened to that have come from Metal Blade, one has been good (Amon Amarth’s Surtur Rising) and one has been amazing (Hate Eternal’s Phoenix From The Ashes) and now the first track from The Black Dahlia Murder’s upcoming release Ritual has made it’s way to my sweet headphones.
This track, “Moonlight Equilibrium” is fantastic. You want shreds? It has the shreds. You want frantic screams mixed with guttural growls? it’s got that too. You want technical riffing? Yes! It has that too! You can listen to it after the jump.
The Michigan monstrosity of melodic death metal’s newest album will be released on July 21st. You can already pre-order the album in all kinds of gnarly fashions including a limited edition box set that looks fucking amazing. [Continue Reading]
