This may sound like an unfair statement, but this to me is the best Darkthrone album, and probably one of the couple that worth listening to more than once. This was when they were still a death metal band and IMO when they were a better, more solid metal band.

Enslaved - Vertebrae (2008)

1) Clouds

2) To the Coast

3) Ground

4) Vertebrae

5) New Dawn

6) Reflection

7) Center

8) The Watcher

It's no surprise that Enslaved has changed their from viking black metal sound to progressive metal over the years.  Vertebrae, the band's newest release, finds a perfect spot between the two genres.  The album has black metal riffage and vocals and although it lacks viking lyrics, it manages to create the viking atmosphere excellently.  On the prog side, it sounds like the guys have been listening to a lot of Pink Floyd lately.  Both the keyboards and the clean vocals have a sound quite similar to that of the prog rock gods.

(Norway) Brutal Death Metal

It was merely a matter of time before I posted an album from a subgenre of metal that my heart truly lies with. Thanks to such blistering tracks like Perverted Sensation, Zombified Infanticide, and Shemale Throatfuck (my personal favorite), Kraanium's Ten Acts of Sickening Perversity album stands as one of the best gore/brutal releases for me this year. Don't worry, though; this gem only serves as a prelude to an onslaught of gore that I'm going to unleash upon you...

Emancer - Twilight and Randomness (2008)

1) Randomness
2) Dice Man
3) The Beast Attacks
4) The Pointing Finger
5) Comfort Fix
6) Twilight
7) Cunning Vital Guardian
8) Moron
9) The Rewarding Schemes
10) Winged Omniscience

Emancer plays their own brand of progressive/melodic black metal on Twilight and Randomness. The ambient intro track ("Randomness") is pretty normal. However, as soon as "Randomness" finishes, it fades right into "Dice Man," which is filled with melodic riffing, synth, and interludes with clean vocals. Emancer's fifth album also boasts of clean production. Although this description almost makes them seem to be the opposite of traditional black metal, Emancer manages to be as dark, brutal and raw as the rest of their genre.
