 | Blood Mountain by Mastodon
Buy new: £10.58 / Used from: £4.48 Great 3rd album by Mastodon. Catchy, heavy and something rarely found these days; original.
|
 | The Information by Beck
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.66 I can always rely on Beck to put out a good album. The guy has great songs coming out of his ears, thankfully they can be transferred into ours.
|
 | Conference of the Birds by Om
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £8.18 Not quite as good as last years Variations On A Theme but still a cracker. 2 zoned out mantras to take you on a journey.
|
 | The Ultimate Destroyer by Lair of the Minotaur
Buy new: £2.46 / Used from: £7.35 Awesome crushing metal. Especially relevant to those who say metal is dead. Want riffs do ya?
|
 | Beloved One by Lou Rhodes
Buy new: £8.78 / Used from: £6.98 Wonderful poppy folk album from ex-Lamb singer. I actually prefer this to Lamb.
|
 | Jaggernaut by Scissorfight
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £3.42 Quality southern tinged American metal. It's simple, it's heavy, it'a catchy as hell.
|
 | Somewhere Along the Highway by Cult of Luna
Buy new: £11.78 / Used from: £4.97 Very dark and brooding atmospheric metal. Similar to Isis but more experimental and a lot darker.
|
 | In the Absence of Truth by Isis
Buy new: £14.19 / Used from: £8.18 Speaking if Isis.... In the Absence of Truth doesn't even come close to touching Oceanic and doesn't live up to all the hype but it's still a good album.
|
 | Surface to Air by Zombi
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £11.06 Fantastic music; mix Ozric Tentacles, Isis and a computer game soundtrack and you get Zombi.
|
 | A Senile Animal by Melvins
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £9.50 The Melvins return to the good ol' rocking days of old!
|
 | Real Life by Joan as Police Woman
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £2.75 Catchy melodies, lush arrangements and a gorgeous voice.
|
 | Peeping Tom by Peeping Tom
Buy new: £13.98 / Used from: £6.75 Mike Patton's best release in years. It's querky, eclectic, memorable and is packed full of quality collaborations.
|
 | Time Will Fuse Its Worth by Kylesa
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £7.04 Great sludgy hardcore. Not as good as last year's To Walk A Middle Course but still up there.
|
 | 55:12 by Gregor Samsa
Buy new: £10.98 Floaty, mellow post rock album with vocals. Just really nice music.
|
 | Sun Awakens by Six Organs of Admittance
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £6.49 A very spiritual, folky acoustic album with a difference.
|
 | The Ties That Blind by Mouth of the Architect
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £10.39 For those who pine after the Neurosis of the early Nineties. Thats all I need to say.
|
 | Avatar by Comets on Fire
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £3.99 Massively influenced by 70s rock but still sounds very modern and noisy. Good stuff.
|
 | Altar by Sunn O))) and Boris
Buy used from: £9.89 I was actually really disappointed by this album. I suppose I set the bar too high. Still an intriguing listen for those who like a change.
|
 | Sacrament by Lamb of God
Buy used from: £3.96 Nowhere near the quality and consistency of Ashes of the Wake but there are still some awesome tracks on here. The band at the top of American metal at the moment.
|
 | Silver EP by Jesu
Buy used from: £24.40 Draws you in after repeated listens. Hard to describe, heavy, plodding, and sombre yet quite uplifting in it's delivery.
|
 | El Hombre Montaña by Los Natas
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £4.99 Argentinian stoner rock. The latin influence and flavour really comes out in Los Natas' music. Stoner rock with a much needed twist.
|
 | Live au Trianon by Camille
Buy new: £11.29 / Used from: £5.41 Last years Le Fil was so unbelivably good that the live version surely couldn't let it down? Could it?
|
 | The Creep by Slomo
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £16.16 One 6omin throbbing soundscape. Creepy, as the name suggests yet very soothing. An odd one. For lovers of Sunn O)) who want something with a little less distortion.
|
 | Versus by 5ive
Buy new: £6.98 Noisy instrumetal metal. Some great riffs and textures although not as well rounded as The Telestic Disfracture from a couple of years back.
|
 | Gravity X by Truckfighters
Buy new: £9.79 / Used from: £15.58 That's it. Hope this list has been helpful and you've found some new music through it! Cheers.
