so i got a reply from my coworker regarding a new Mushroomhead album.

"No, they might have one by late 2009 or 2010. Jeff is releasing a solo album and some of the guys are releasing some side project records. But the Volume 2 DVD will be out soon"

[Relapse.]

New Necrophagist, Children of Bodom, and Hate Eternal coming out this year. I've heard that Opeth's new album has been mixed and completed, hopefully it'll come out sometime this year. There's also a new Metallica album coming out, but after hearing St. Anger I'm still pretty skeptical.

Nice one Necrophagist, didn't know they were making one. Hate Eternal, just got into and they are kick ass :D

Yay @ side projects.

I should probably look into this.

Too bad they're not planning on releasing anything this year.

Didn't know about a new necrophagist album. Pity about Decapitated....

[Orange]

I just listened to the new Children Of Bodom album, pretty good, better then there last album :D

[Minimoose]

Anyone listen to Masterplan? I found them a few weeks ago and all three of their albums are as tasty as tasty donuts :)

Yea, it's not bad. It's better than i thought it would be.

lmaoi some of those songs are actually pretty kickass in a ridiculously stupid pirate sort of way.

Anyone want to recommend some metal for me? I haven't gotten any new metal in a while. I tend to like alot of 80's metal and some thrash like Skid Row (Slave to the grind not the first one so much :), Anthrax, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Judas Priest, Sebastian Bach, Motley Crue, Dragonforce.

[HTF]

gotta mention The Project Hate. There music is awesome! can't wait to get there new cd In Hora Mortis Nostrae. i got there cybersonic superchrist and it rocks!!

[Relapse.]

new hate eternal is insane. wow.

[Blackhearted]

I dunno how many here like bands with female vocalists but i must say the recent album by Amberian Dawn is pretty good stuff in my opinion.

I'm into female-fronted bands. Nightwish, Within Temptation, Evanescence, Flyleaf, The Birthday Massacre, Lacuna Coil, Garbage, Freezepop (not rock, but it counts! :D ). There aren't that many popular bands around, and it's such a shame, as there are a lot of talented ones.

[omganinja]

Anyone heard the new bloodbath EP? It's pretty good, can't wait for the new Bloodbath and Opeth albums. Judging by the bootleg of Opeth's Heir Apparent the new album is gonna be amazing. New CoB was a disappointment, although I wasnt expecting much Are You Dead Yet? wasn't very good either.

ViperAFK, I'd reccommend Dream Theater and Symphony X, neither are thrash but if you like dragonforce then you should like them.

Well then, if you do like stuff like nightwish and such then take a look here for some of the band that i mention:

Check out Ayreon, namely The Human Equation and 01011001. Two of the greatest albums ever made, alot of female vocals, both albums are pure genius.

Thanks, guys. I'll check them out later. I heard a couple of Amberian Dawn tracks on their site, and they sound pretty good. I'm also trying to get into After Forever. One of my friends has been into them for years, and he keeps trying to get me into them, so I'm gonna give them a go. "Energize Me" sounds like a good track (heard a 30 second preview on Last.fm).

O man the new bloodbath ep is great, not as good as their other stuff but a good start, really wish it was a full album seeing as it was suppose to be out last summer :p

[Orange]

New Sevendust album is pretty good.
