Update: TOP 5 METAL ALBUMS OF 2006

In Flames have been the torch bearers of European melodic death metal for over a decade now. Their earlier albums Colony & Clayman are considered among the best mel-death albums ever recorded. Some even say, that it's because of In Flames this genre exists. I don't know how, but I totally missed Come Clariy(2006) this year. I have been listening to the album since yesterday, and I just can't have enough of it. I'll re-list the albums first and then do a proper review.
1. As Daylight Dies--Killswitch Engage
2. Come Clarity-- In Flames
3. Blood Mountain-- Mastodon
4. A Twist in The Myth-- Blind Guardian
5. Christ Illusion-- Slayer


P.S.-- I've Totally grown out of Sacrament! Uhhh!

COME CLARITY


ll songs are killer; you get everything, from blast beats, mosh riffs, death growls, twin solos, progressive guitarwork..I mean everything. The standout tracks include--Take This Life--As good as an opening song can get on a metal album, Reflect The Storm--melodious headbanging stuff(this song will tell you where Killswitch Engage get their inspirations from), Come Clarity--great mix of heaviness and melody again, Versus Terminus--out n out headbanger, killer of a song, Leeches--metalcore at it's best, Dead End--Sung with Lisa Miskovsky, a swedish pop-star..this song brings about an atmosphere which Evanescence, Lacuna Coil can only dream of, the juxtaposing of Lisa's voice and Anders Friden's screams is impeccable, this song is a killer, Scream--awesome headbanging shit, man..it goes on and on..you know what. REALLY! This album does not have a single song I found boring..so just go out and buy it.
