Best metal album would imo definitely be Godspeed on the devil's thunderFatalis67 said:In anyones opinion, what was the best metal album of '08?
You might want to check out Michael Angelo Bartio [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG74eVb6V10&feature=related], Joe Satriani [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjNAeELQ_Z8], Trivium [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edcrC6PABk8&feature=channel_page] and Judas Priest [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uie63E4gqno] but then again if you like metal you should know Judas Priest anyway.Neonbob said:I do love metal, but I highly prefer the bands that have lots of detailed guitar work.
All That Remains(check out "Empty Inside"), Disturbed("Stricken"), In Flames("Only For the Weak"), and Avenged Sevenfold("Afterlife") are probably my top 4.
Have a listen to The Absence, Anterior, Lamb of God, Under Threat (stick to the album Deathmoshpere) and if you want something really heavy, try Origin.Neonbob said:I do love metal, but I highly prefer the bands that have lots of detailed guitar work.

The Absence are writing a new album, it sounds as though they're really focused on making it better than Riders of the Plague, which will be hard. They'll be posting videos of pre-production and recording as things go on. Link!
Mors Principium Est have got another new guitarist. They'll be writing some more stuff soon, hopefully it'll be a step up from Liberation Termination Link!
They might not be strictly melo-death, but Anterior are also writing new material. They've got a new drummer and are entering Grindstone studios soon with Scott Atkins to record new stuff. They aim to have the new album out summer this year. Link!
And for those of you who've heard of them, Archons have also announced they're writing a second album. Apparently they'll have a preview or video or something or other up soon to have a listen to some of their new stuff. Link!
