Oh that's cool. I think that's the one I have.

So you prefer Gods Of The Earth to Age of Winters?

I definitely agree with Gojira, COL and Agalloch. Dont know Green Carnation and Amplifier.

Not heard Age Of Winters to be fair. Amplifier are from U.K and only made 2 albums. They sort of done a melodic/progressive type of thing. I think you would like them.

Maybe I'll check it out. Ill hook you up with Age Of Winters if you want, i imagine its fairly easy to find as well. Ive only listened to their second album a couple of times and I like it but it might be a grower. At present I much prefer the debut.

I reckon Machine Head are probably one of the prime examples of pure metal today. Definitly one of my favs.

But they are still 6 years too early for this thread.

Opeths first album was 1995.

Ne Obliviscaris will own the next decade if can they stay together.Hard for a 6 piece band.

This decade...Isis go alright.

Amplifier is a fantastic band. Insider is great to, as well as there HAL ep.

i really like prayer for cleansing and scarlet a lot.

Just to let everyone who's into the whole black/thrash thing know, Absu's self-titled album has leaked. I think its up there with Tara but one can't really judge an album after two listens, so I'll make my final decision later on. It seems to have a lot of riffs reminiscent of the 80s german thrash scene. Really awesome stuff tho!
