cat666 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Now I'm an old skool metal fan. You can't beat the 80's in my opinion. However Trivium have produced what could easily be metal album of the year. It literally 's all over Metallica's - Death Magnetic. Matt Heafy's voice is incredible. Trust the Gene Genie!

cheese666me Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 The 80's CAN be beaten, just like Vital Remains did ;) However, Shogun is by far one of the worst "metal" albums ever IMO. Why even try with that idiot? Honestly, there is no point whatsoever. I'd get better replies if I argued with a tree stump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jernlov Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Name me a better metal album of '08. Most of the ones I've heard have been really mundane, i.e. new Opeth, In Flames, and Amon Amarth. Steam | Soup | Last.fm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, I think Voyager (Manilla Road) is this year's best metal album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard some people turned off by Masvidal's electronic manipulation of the vocals, but I quite like it and their sound in general. As for Atheist, apparently they're releasing a new album next year. Hope it's a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another band like Cynic that I like would be my home country's (portugal) . They're not jazz fusion, but rather progressive death metal. PM me if you want a link to d/l the album. Also, yeah, I'm excited for the new Atheist album. Although I was a bit disappointed with Elements. Let's hope they go the Unquestionable Presence route.

Nostradamus by Judas Priest :twss: I love Priest, but Nostradamus was...weird. 2008 has been pants for metal. The only album which has beaten Trivium's this year is Dragonforce - Ultra Beatdown. Hammerfall's - Masterpeices would beat them all, but it's more a compilation. Lets hope GNR's is good. Trust the Gene Genie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warri0r45 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Lets hope GNR's is good. Have you heard the new single? I heard Chinese Democracy (song) on the radio the other day. Sounds decent, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jernlov Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 It's always a bad year for metal. All the metal albums I'd want to buy are either rare or out of print - thus making them very [bleep]ing expensive if you can even find them.

Brutal by The Day Everything Became Nothing Cleptocracy by Kill The Client Katana Orgy by Jig-Ai Get Dead Or Die Trying by The Rotted (formerly Gorerotted) Okay, they're not 100% Metal, they're more Grind.

WookieeMania12 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I hate to say it, but Death Magnetic is the best album of 2008. Trivium is alright, but then there is Killswitch Engage.

warri0r45 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I'm going to second Death Magnetic as one of the best of 2008. I like it a lot, though I personally wouldn't rate it over Watershed by Opeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragen Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I'm not a massive Trivium fan, however I think Shogun was a solid effort. Not as good as Ascendancy but there were a few goodish songs. Best album of the year for me would be Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God or Protest the Hero - Fortress. I agree that it was a pretty poor year for metal though.
