After a tip from the blog I Just Can’t Hate Enough I ordered the debutalbum from Swedish In Solitude, and I am impressed!! This was just what I was searching for, lots of guitar harmonys and a classic heavy metal sound with just the right production.

The year 2008 is heading for decapitation and it’s time to sum up the best albums of the year. A very hard thing to do, but here is my top 11.
1. Satyricon – The Age of Nero
2. Agrimonia – s/t
3. Aura Noir – Hades Rise
4. Opeth – Watershed
5. Toxic Holocaust – An Overdose of Death
6. Judas Priest – Nostradamus
7. Testament – The Formation of Damnation
8. Dismember – s/t
9. Metallica – Death Magnetic
10. In Flames – A sense of purpose
11. Grand Magus – Iron will
It’s difficult to pick out the very “best”. The only place I am certain of is number one.
Somewhat Peculiar

The Swedish music magazine Close-Up is turning hundred (issues) this month, I have been a subscriber for many years and it’s a great mag. To celebrate it they have listed the 100 “best” album from 1991 – 2008 (according to the Close-up staff). The winner was At the Gates with Slaughter of the Soul, thats fine, it’s a great album that should be in the top, but to see that they completely left out Dissection is a scandal!! In my book, The Somberlain, Storm of the Light’s Bane and Reinkaos should be top 10.
