    Rush
    Storm Corrosion
    Anathema

    I may also buy :
    Howlin' Rain
    North Atlantic Oscilation


    Bit of a mixed bag of an album. Some glorious throwbacks to 70's (and 60's) rock on it, but some tracks that only work if you are in the mood for them. More good than bad though.

    new slayer and ghost albums

    Didn't expect to see a new album from Slayer this year. Hope i'm wrong and they do get something out late this year.

    Im liking what Ive heard so far .... although one or two tunes tend to meander without delivering any punch.

    Im changing my mind completely about this album to the point it's becoming vital.

    Liking the sound of the new Stone Sour album. According to reports its supposedly a heavy 2 disc concept album that sounds like a mix between Pink Floyd and Alice In Chains

    Another one here looking forward to Squackett - if the samples here are any guide, it sounds awesome.

    Trevor Rabin's Jacaranda was released a couple of weeks ago, and it's flipping mental. HD Tracks has samples to try.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    They are a cracking live band. New album is very good, picked it up earlier rather than order it online as I wanted to listen to it asap.

    Is anyone getting the new Ahab album actually?

    Wouldn't be a massive Doom expert, but I came across them checking out the doom thread and really liked their stuff.

    The title track of the album can be listened to here. I love it.

    Would Sound Cellar or something stock the likes of this, or will I have to buy online? I don't normally get much stuff in there.

    Into The Void have it I think.

    The new Old Man Gloom is killer, and Primitive Weapons - The Shadow Gallery is an album to check out if you're into Converge

    Yes I'll be giving it a listen at some stage, it's out today isn't it?

    I liked the crushing atmosphere of the Moby Dick themed The Call Of The Wretched Sea, I imagine this will be in the same vein.

    Cool, I've never been there. I'll drop in.

    Don't know any of those bands, but I'll have a listen!
    As xerces said, Call of the Wretched Sea is a beast of an album that really struck me. Don't know the genre much really.

    Short answer no. They might offer to order it in but you'll save yourself 10-15€ just ordering it online yourself and you'll get it much much quicker.

    Between The Buried And Me have revealed their new album details:
    Progressive rock/cutting-edge metal innovators BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME have set "The Parallax II: Future Sequence" as the title of their new full-length album. The CD, which clocks in at approximately 72 minutes, will be released October 9 and features artwork from Charlotte, North Carolina artist and designer Chandler Owen (UNDEROATH, SHAI HULUD, HOPESFALL). The group — Tommy Rogers (vocals / keyboards), Paul Waggoner (guitar), Dustie Waring (guitar), Blake Richardson (drums / percussion) Dan Briggs (bass) — is currently preparing for its direct support slot on the Summer Slaughter tour that kicks off in Los Angeles, California at the House of Blues on Friday, July 20.

    "The Parallax II: Future Sequence" was recorded at The Basement Studios in Winston-Salem, North Carolina with longtime friend of the band and producer Jamie King. Jamie engineered, mixed and mastered "The Parallax II: Future Sequence", which makes this the sixth release Jamie and BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME have worked together on.

    Regarding the concept of "The Parallax II: Future Sequence", the new full-length album picks up where the 2011 EP, "The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues", left off.

    "The two main characters of the story take on a journey through space and time with the unenviable task of having to cure the flaws of humanity by any means necessary," comments guitarist Paul Waggoner. "While the EP served mostly as an introduction to the characters, 'Future Sequence' contains the action of the story. The lyrics are written in the stream of consciousness style, which really helps to capture the perspective and emotion of the characters. We really enjoyed the challenge of writing this record, and I think we were all pleasantly surprised with how well the music and lyrics jived with one another. I couldn't be happier with how 'Future Sequence' turned out."

    Vocalist and keyboardist Tommy Rogers adds his thoughts on the musical direction of "The Parallax II: Future Sequence": "This album is BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME on steroids. I feel like we have created an album that perfectly mirrors the band we've been trying to create since day one. An album that has sounds that will stimulate many genres and music fans alike. A conceptual journey that takes the listener to worlds that seem familiar and worlds that make you scratch your head. From start to finish this is music we want to create, not music we think people want us to create. We create songs that keep us (and hopefully you) excited about heavy music. Keep listening… something new will be there each time. Enjoy the music… we enjoyed writing it."

    "The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues" (released in April 2011) is a three-song strong, 30-minute tour de force of modern heavy music. Produced and engineered by the Grammy award–winning David Bottrill (TOOL, MUSE, KING CRIMSON, DREAM THEATER) with BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, the record soared to No. 54 on The Billboard 200 chart in its first week of release while landing the No. 5 spot on the Hard Music chart, and No. 8 on the Independent Albums chart in its first week of release. "The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues" also debuted in Canada charting at Mo. 62 on the Top 200 Current chart, No. 6 on the Hard chart, and No. 14 on the Independent chart.

    I liked The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues so I'm really looking forward to this.

    I got it, thought it was great, though if I was pushed I'd say Call is better.
