I see that you have good taste!
I really wanted to included the new SYL and Biomechanical, but after a lot of thought I realized that I haven't listened to them as much. Great albums though, they'd be somewhere in the 11–15 range, though.

It's getting to be about that time where we can discuss this and generally know what will be on our Best Of lists without much change.

Brainstorm – Liquid Monster 03. Dark Tranquillity - Character 04. Demons & Wizards – Touched By The Crimson King 05. Helloween – Keeper Of The Seven Keys: Legacy 06. Kamelot – The Black Halo 07. Lana Lane – Lady Macbeth 08. Nevermore – The Godless Endeavor 09. Redemption – The Fullness Of Time 10. Zero Hour – A Fragile Mind Other (Rock, Alternative, Nu-Metal, Etc.): 01. 311 – Don’t Tread On Me 02. Ani Difranco – Knuckledown 03. Charlotte Martin – Darkest Hour (EP) 04. Clutch – Robot Hive/Exodus 05. Madball – Legacy 06. Pro-Pain – Prophets Of Doom 07. System Of A Down – Hypnotize 08. System Of A Down – Mezmerize 09. The Coral – The Invisible Invasion 10.

I'm not sure if I like it better than Sword's Song yet, though, but it's still and excellent album! Definitely worth getting, I'd suggest the Digipack with the bonus tracks as they're very good. Here's some samples from the album, and another great video: Battlelore – Storm Of The Blades (Full Video) Battlelore – Trollshaws (Clip) Battlelore – Ghan Of The Woods (Clip) Battlelore – Elassar’s Call (Bonus Track Clip) Here's a video from their first album, it's fucking brilliant! If you've not seen it you should check it out. Battlelore – Journey To Undying Lands (Full Video – A Must See!!) |

Blood Red Throne - ALTERED GENESIS Crap!! How the hell did I forget this one. This is definitely on my top ten. This album should be number eight or so and will knock Kamelot down to 11th. It still feels like I'm forgeting something else. Edit: The new Gamma Ray. I knew I forgot something. |

1: Sigh - Gallows Gallery 2: Ulver - Blood Inside 3: The Crimea - Tragedy Rocks The three albums from this year I've bought. Samael doesn't count, as it's a rerelease. How many fucking more "Top Ten Of The Year" lists are we going to get? |
