A current top 5:
1. Bladecatcher
2. I Am Ahab
3. Crusher Destroyer
4. Blood and Thunder
5. Where Strides the Behemoth

Oh dear. We agree on something else. This is the best metal band there is in this decade bar none. The riffs, counterpoint and interplay between the twin guitars is unbelievable, and the use of tempo-less drumming almost seems to suggest the application of the principles of free jazz to metal. On top of that, the sheer amount of genre territory they scale and the fused results are often jaw-dropping. This is a band that people will either get, or just will not and instead see them as just another metal band.
