In other news, our best-of 2020 lists are finally up. Funny how I've gone from one of the most underground writers to almost definitely the least over the years.

Alex gets kudos from me for putting Thy Catafalque as his #1!

Good list Goat, Monolithe, Oranssi, Hail Spirit, Pain of Salvation and Abigor all would make my top 15, and Deftones/Defeated Sanity (sorry I just expected more)/Paradise Lost and Benighted are all good albums. Have to listen to Winterfylleth still.

Cheers! I liked Thy C but didn't love it nearly as much. Probably need more listens! That Winterfylleth is good, their best album I think.

When is the "Upcoming albums of 2021" thread coming? A few weeks ago, I happened upon such a post in a Greek metal site and they promised really huge releases from metal's biggest classic bands etc.

Tbh I completely forgot about it. Please feel free to start one and I'll sticky it to the top of the forum.

New Ruins dropped early.

Several weeks ago! I saw someone mentioned it leaked early about a week ago but forgot to just check youtube. Thanks for sharing.

Does America allow people to record music in prison, Norway style? Are we going to get a synth-only Iced Earth album?

Yes, actually! If he gets the privilege, I doubt they'll let him record anything even remotely political though. I would expect something more in-line with American roots style music.

I'd be up for that. Always thought an acoustic side-project a la Steve von Till would work for him.

VREID is now pleased to announce their exciting and unique partnership with the Sogndal Football Club! The club has for many years been known for developing and cultivating extraordinary talent, as the men's team currently plays in first division, the second tier of the Norwegian football league system.

Now, Sogndal Football Club is paying tribute to the band that has brought Sognametal to the whole world, by putting the logo of metal veterans and forefathers VREID on the chest of player’s uniforms for this upcoming season.

This is pretty cute. What's next, Manchester United putting Winterfylleth on their kit? :lol:

Maiden, as usual, are well ahead of the game. Not as cool as the above collaboration, but it must be quite a thrill for a West Ham partisan like Harris.

Craig Pillard is back in Disma, and they're playing at a secret festival with a sunwheel on the flyer, so errr I guess they're over kicking him out?

God, if you thought Animal was bad, then you should definitely stay far, far away from the Norwegian Shining's latest single.

Can't think of another act who have turned on their own fans to such an extent.

What is it about bands named 'Shining' and grand FU statements? Remember the opening of Shining's fourth album originally contained a rant about posers and people calling them posers and how true fans would worship their every decision? :lol:
