in trying to think up a "best of 2007" list i realized i couldnt even think of 10 new albums that i really listened to. but its been a long year so maybe i just forgot what came out.

bone awl--mlm, adm, ahr
archgoat--whore of bethlehem
profanatica--profin... whatever the fuck that thing is called
portal--outre
ignivomous--path of attrition
darkthrone--foad
nifelheim--new album--forgot the name--havent heard it yet.

more?

note: this thread is not a best of 2007 list...just a recap of what came out this year.

[Voidhanger]

The new INQUISITION, Nefarious Dismal Orations, fucking slays.

This year had a lot of good compilations/reissues I think, a lot of them thanks to this label. At least, compilations and reissues were the majority of my purchases in 2007. PROFANATICA, ABIGAIL, THORNS, STRID, GOATLORD, DEATH YELL, BLASPHEMY, RESUSCITATOR, MARTIRE, and of course the two NIFELHEIM now which I've yet to get. The reissues of the first three ARCKANUM albums are going to be welcome for many people too I'm sure.

[illomen]

yes there have definitely been some exceptional reissues but i find it very disconcerting that its so difficult to think of 10 or 15 high quality new releases. i mean releases you will still want to hear five years from now.

[kängnäve]

VILLAINS - Drenched in the Poisons LP
WITCHTRAP - No Anesthesia LP
REPUGNANT - The Epitome of Darkness LP (though the CD version is older)
DEATH BREATH - Let it Stink 10"

[Voidhanger]

[illomen]

if yosuke had been able to get that dead congregation out before the end of the year i think it would have topped my list. i already predict that it will be the best album of 2008. its that fucking good.

[Endless Morbidity]

NECROS CHRISTOS 'Triune Impurity Rites'
VILLAINS 'Drenched in the Poisons'
MORTUUS 'De Contemplanda Morte'

[huja]

i think the new inquisition is one of my favorites. villains was surprisingly great.

[DESECRATOR777]

villains drenched in the poisons

[IronBloodBlasphemy]

some of these may be 2006, but I don't care (off the top of my head):


NIFELHEIM--Envoy of Lucifer + both split 7"s
KATHARSIS--WORLDWITHOUTEND 12"
VILLAINS--Drenched in the Poisons 12"
REPUGNANT--Epitome of Darkness 12"
NECROS CHRISTOS--Triune Impurity Rites
COUNTESS--Blazing Flames of War
INQUISTION--Nefarious Dismal Orations
ZEMIAL--In Monumentum
PROFANATICA--Profanatitas De Domonatia // HAVOHEJ--Tungkat Blood Wand 10"
WITCHFINDER GENERAL--Live 83 + Buried Amongst the Ruins
DEATH YELL--Morbid Rites 12"
PROCLAMATION--Advent of the Black Order 12"
HELLISH CROSSFIRE--Burning...12"
EVIL ANGEL--Unholy Fight for Metal
UNCREATION'S DAWN--Death's Tyranny 12"
IMPIETY--Formidonis Nex Cultus
KAAMOS--Scales of Leviathan
BESTIAL RAIDS--Black Trinity Reversed
WARNING--Watching From a Distance
NOCTURNAL GRAVES--Satan's Cross 12"

I've yet to hear the new PRIMORDIAL
new PAGAN ALTAR is very good too, though a bit too Tull influenced for my tastes, I'm sure the DEAD CONGREGATION album will be excellent as well.

[illomen]
