As a result of the review of 2008 in Terrorizer magazine, I recently bought the following:
Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God
Not sure how I missed this one when it was released, it received quite a lot of hype in the usual magazines etc. Melodic death metal that's just fine to listen to, although it doesn't really grab me like some other bands in this genre.
Esoteric - The Mechanical Vale
Slow atmospheric doom metal with orchestral moments and some strange ambient noises. I like this one quite a lot.
Earth - The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull
This is powerful slow guitar-based music that in places reminds me of Brian Eno's Appollo album. There just aren't enough instrumental metal albums that are influenced by Eno!
Other than these, it seems I managed to pick up most of the "essential" extreme metal albums in 2008. On now into the 2009 releases...
