2008 MUST HAVE ALBUMS

The Troglodyte Dawn all covers album.

It's so hush hush that Trog doesn't even know about it.

to me avantasia was a big dissapointment, I would rather add the new AYREON album

I agree about the Avantasia. I loved the Alice Cooper track but found the rest pretentious and boring.

Something that is interesting is that Alice cooper has changed his style of music before into modern styles and never sounded bad. For example BRUTAL PLANET(YEAR 2000)

That excuse doesn't wash bro. I'm a lot older than you!

Nice to get some backing on this album though...

Steelheart has a new album coming out sometime this year as well. I heard "LOL" on XM Radio on my way to work today and loved it. I wasn't sure if it was new or not, but sure enough it's from the upcoming album.

Too bad their MySpace only has a clip of the song.

some others that i thought of:

Brother Firetribe - Heart Full of Fire
Alliance - Road to Heaven
Amaseffer - Slaves for Life
Pharoah - Be gone
Seventh Avenue - Terium

I see everyone forgot about the new Pyramaze. I cant wait to hear what this sounds like with Matt. From the samples ive heard its awesome.

We need to have a sticky for new releases so some of us dont forget

i know that i'll probably get laughed out of the forum, but i'm looking forward to the new Wicked Wisdom album. Jada is the bomb.

Virgin Black - Pianissimo

I've only listened to this once but it was (from what I remember) a pretty decent death/doom album. I need to listen to this again sometime-maybe tonight.

Ones I already have and love:

Avantasia-Scarecrow (still #1 in my book)
Ayreon-01011001
Black Tide-Light From Above
Firewind-Premoniton

The new album is a "wait and see" for me, but the above statement can't be argued!

I was only considering albums I know are "must haves" because they've already been released.

As I Lay Dying are coming out with a new one with "supposidly" a heavy thrash influence. So I'm excited for that one. I dig them anyway.

I thought their last one has some of this as well, which are (coincidently or not) my favorite parts.

I think you're referring to the new one Requiem-Fortissimo. Pianissimo is yet to be released.

Opeth - watershed
Metallica possibly
gnr possibly
priest for sure

I kind of realized that after I posted it, but I was too lazy to change it. What do you expect though they're all called something issimo, I don't speak Portuguese you know (j/k, I know that it is actually Hungarian).

Good call on Communic Metalrob, those guys are awesome.
