You are not, I gave it my first listen earlier today, and I'm listening again now.
EDIT: It's indeed quite fine. More straightforward than the first one. And not as good. EDIT2: There are boobs on the cover, tho, which is an improvement over the first one. EDIT3: Let's say it's a tie. Edited by bartosso - 04 Jan 2014 at 12:48pm |

Given that I'm apparently the only person on this website who has listened to Vaura's album, and it's great,

1. Kayo Dot - Hubardo (10/10) 3. Haken - The Mountain (7/10) 4. Ayreon - The Theory of Everything (7/10) 5. Riverside - Shrine of the New Generation of Slaves (7/10) 6. Black Sabbath - 13 (6/10) 7. Dream Theater - Dream Theater (6/10) 8. Deafheaven - Sunbather (5/10) Edited by Earendil - 09 Jan 2014 at 3:58pm |

Well, my list includes Suicidal Tendencies, Carcass, Satan, Sodom, Gama Bomb, Leprous, Warbringer, Hell, Voivod, Alice in Chains, Fates Warning, Violator and Trallery. Also some other stuff that I should best not mention like Volbeat, Steven Wilson, Soilwork, Polkadot Cadaver, Avatarium, Protest the Hero and Mattias IA Eklundh's Freak Guitar.
edit: well, I wrote this first at a pure thrash metal forum. Now, it may make more sense! ;)   http://trallery.bandcamp.com/ Last place in the list (#20) is Trallery. I'd like to say a few words. They got there after one listen, amidst the frenzy of compiling my year-of-the-list inside the deadline. My first impressions were, "wow, this is a mess, style-wise, vocal-wise, all over the place..." But with some damn FINE passages. Like, best of the year stuff. So, I just stuck them at the end. Now, today, after many repeats, that album (Catalepsy, 2013) is among my favorite of the year. Normally it should appeal to any metalhead who loves both thrash and power (ballsy, German speed/power or King Diamond power...) and can handle his Coroner. Look out for three things: 1. The vocals. Many styles. Some jump at you when you least expect it. At some styles he sounds magnificently awesome. At others he sounds like he is struggling, borderline awkward. At all times he has this marvellous, 80s sensibility of going for it, no matter what - a thoroughly convincing metal attitude. Absolutely Spanish accent, blended with mimicking early german thrashers, the result is a delight to my ears. Scored a lot of points for me with each listen. 2. The riffs. Shit, listen to the whole album because there is a wealth of amazing passages throughout the adventurous songwriting. The latter is the point of contention for me. I think they have elements of over-indulgence, unecessary bridges perhaps or whatever. But I really appreciate the freedom of going where the song takes them, it usually works out REALLY well. This is their debut. They are a trio from Spain that started out as a Metallica tribute band. This is a fucking awesome first effort. 3. Odd moments: These include a song which is a power metal "ballad" with hard rock roots - and the obligatory metal bridge; a Coroner tech-thrash fest which worships Grin, switches to Mental Vortex and somewhere in there throws a (very convincing) swedothrash/death passage; the two small instrumentals. Riff-fests, like small overtures of a bag of themes, enough material for three songs; the final epic closer. That epic closer. Reminded me of my first days of falling in love with metal, some VERY exciting stuff happening there. Along with the awkward ones. Very much recommended. Edited by Vic - 09 Dec 2013 at 10:32am |

I finally picked up the new Black Sabbath. It's pretty decent, Iommi's riffs are in fine form, and Ozzy's voice doesn't annoy me like it has on the past couple of Ozzy albums.
I have the DGM - Momentum album on the way too. Sounds very good in a Dream Theater/Symphony X kinda way from the couple of videos they have up on youtube. |

I've been digging the debut Neige Eternelle album a lot lately, really makes me want to familiarize myself with more Canadian Black Metal.

Monolithe IV is streaming now, so I'm going to go immerse myself in that and let you know my thoughts.

Today I hit the milestone number for 2013 reviews: 100
Hopefully the following list is some help to those looking for a 2013 find (because I put a lot of work into it).

I haven�t been too enthalled by what I�ve heard so far in 2013, but the last couple of releases that I�ve listened to have changed my somewhat lurk warm feelings about 2013.
New Satyricon is a great album New Carcass is a great album New Gorguts is a masterpiece to my ears. All three are almost sure to end up in my top 10 for 2013. I hope the new Fates Warning will knock my socks off too.

I've been listening to a few 2013 metal albums this year.
Wrekmeister Harmonies - You've Always Meant So Much To Me Yodok - Yodok #2 (arguably drone doom done with Tubas) Lesbian - Forestelevision Sabazius - The Descent of Man (not that often though...) Onde Sph�rique - Curriculum Mortis The best thing I've heard this year isn't even metal in the slightest though, it's Dennis Johnson's November, a five hour minimalist piano composition from 1962 in a similar vein to La Monte Young's The Well Tuned Piano. Wonderful stuff. |

List as of 05.10.2013:
1. Kayo Dot - Hubardo Guys, seriously, even if you didn't like any previous album from Kayo Dot or motW, CHECK THIS OUT, it's very different! A gigantic concept album that bends the rules of space-time continuum (It feels like a 30 minutes of a breakneck ride through a surreal dream, while in fact it's a 99 minute long album). 2. Kvelertak - Meir Eclectic, passionate and kicks ass. 3. Cult of Luna - Vertikal Sludge/post-metal with great concept as the main inspiration both lyrics and music-wise. 4. Riverside - Shrine of New Generation Slaves Great and accessible modern prog, as emotional as ever. 5. Fen - Dustwalker Very good stuff, and going without keyboards was an admirable move. Other albums: Grayceon - Pearl & The End of Days Ov Hollowness - The World Ends Intronaut Habitual Levitations Immolation - Kingdom Of Conspiracy Suffocation - Pinnacle Of Bedlam Kylesa - Ultraviolet Meshuggah - Pitch Black Cloudkicker - Subsume Waiting for: Oranssi Pazuzu - Valonielu Vaura - The Missing Edited by bartosso - 06 Oct 2013 at 2:10pm |

Dunno who that Marco (or these "prog archives") is, but there are some
other artists that put Deathspell Omegas to shame in that field, Kayo
Dot being one of them. Anyway, Choirs is a great album, I love it, but
Hubardo is the only magic lantern that lets me see beyond the horizon...
[/awkward&lofty] yep, I recommend it.
