Blotted Science are sick, the drummer for The Faceless was wearing one of their T's at the Meshuggah concert!

agreed.  great lineup.  You should check out Watchtower and Ron Jarzombek's solo material if you have not already.... killer stuff indeed.

I am holding out for the first Exivious album myself.  that Obscura disc is rather generic to these ears....nothing new to be heard there.  And how dare they reference a groundbreaking death metal album, such as Gorguts' Obscura, and yet sound nothing like them or even in the same arena....?

I read on http://www.metal-archives.com/ that the debut album by Exivious is scheduled for release on the 11th of May 2009 and itīs going to be Limited to 1000 handnumbered copies. Only a 1000 copies??? I hope itīs possible to pre-order. With Tymon having guested ( maybe he is a full-time member?) on Traced in Air there has to be more than 1000 people who are interested to hear what Exivious are all about.

Yes.  It IS available for Pre-order over at their myspace page!  And also at their website I believe.  It is $27 for us yanks though!  better be worth it!  (I think it will).
 
 
 
(sorry if it is not linkable, I cannot do that at work it seems......)

I haven't really looked through the last few pages of this thread but was very curious about what you guys thought of Mastodon's new album?
 
I think it's very good but quite a change in direction,with a more spacey,psychadelic vibe to it.Dailor's drumming is a tad bit more restrained than on previous releases though,which was a bit of a let down for me.He's still awesome though.

I'm listening to it (and them) for the first time... Not as heavy as I'd expect, at least the clean vocals threw me off.

There are a lot of clean vocals on the album,it took me awhile to get used to it.
 
Have you heard the new Isis album yet?There are a lot of clean vocals on that too,and that REALLY threw me off.Excellent album though,I can't stop listening to it.

Lots of good stuff out right now.The new Psyopus and War From A Harlot's Mouth albums are SICK.New Wolves in the Throne Room was a little disappointing for me though.

Yeah, this has been a good couple of weeks. I'm glad you like war from a harlots mouth so much! How does it compare to Transmetropolitan? I heard the new vocalist sucks.

WITTR's new album features better production,which you would think would be a big plus.But previously they recorded with vintage equipment and on tape,and they lost that great "organic" black metal sound that they achieved on their previous 2 albums.

I don't think the new vocalist is bad at all,and Shoals is a big step up from Transmetropolitan imo.
 
I know this doesn't belong in this thread,but what did you think of the new Giant Squid and Irepress albums?
