Seeing as December is essentially a no go for most bands as the music industry almost grinds to a halt i guess we can start thinking about non thrash albums of the year.

I am having a hard time actually thinking of releases this year:

Heaven and Hell - The Devil You Know
Kiss - Sonic Boom

I am just drawing blanks here....

Heaven and Hell - The Devil You Know
Cauldron - Chained to the Nite
Immortal - All Shall Fall
Napalm Death - Time Waits For No Slave

can't think of any others.

Immortal - All Shall Fail
IQ - Frequency
Eloy - Visionary (from what I've heard so far - it's out later this month)
Living Colour - The Chair In The Doorway
Prodigy - Invaders Must Die
Jello Biafra And The Guantanamo School Of Music - The Audacity Of Hype
Alice In Chains - Black Gives Way To Blue
Porcupine Tree - The Incident
Atheist - Unquestionable Presence: Live At Wacken

The Prodigy - Invaders must Die
Bruce S - Working on a Dream
Floggin Molly - Float

Although I still haven't managed to get my hands on it, I'd bet large ammounts of money on Immortal being on there with All Shall Fall. Can't really think of anything else released this year that was any good.

The three best albums of the year for me go to:

Astra - The Weirding (which is in fact phenomenal and has quickly become one of my favourite albums EVER)
Gong - 2032
Saxon - Into The Labyrinth

And well, I can't remember remember any other good releases this year at the moment. Heaven and Hell was a massive disappointment, and the Kiss album was good fun, but you know, it's Kiss! Thought the new Porcupine Tree was completely bloody boring too, and really annoying in places! I can't think of anything else right now.

The new Porcupine Tree is well bad innit. Steven bloody Wilson.

New Absu

fleet foxes? Seasick Steve? Them Crooked Vultures? The Dead Weather?
