Lycia - Incinerate
Crack the Skye is a masterpiece, I would be so surprised if The Hunter was better. Really looking forward to it though, gonna wait until release to listen. Good to hear it's good though.
That new Megadeth song is pretty awesome, I've been digging it.
Picked up the new Opeth album and I've finally gotten to listen. Wow, if there's any album that's gonna take a lot of listens to fully get it's gotta be this one. Really liking what I heard on the first spin but it's gonna need a lot more for me to fully understand it. LOVED Famine though, what a funky song. The Jethro Tull, Aqua Lung-y flute is way cool. I really like what Mikael did with the gloominess-- it's not usual Opeth darkness but it still feels like them and just invokes the dark in a very different way. I didn't miss the screams a whole lot, I love Damnation after all, but I do agree with some of the people who have said that there are points in certain songs where the harsh vocals would fit nicely. But major props to the band for taking a different road with Heritage.
