Anyway, It was a pretty decent month, no shoddy deathcore involved and all the bands were good to listen to. I even bought 2 of those albums. Hell, it wasnt decent, it was epic! Gamma Ray and Ihsahn in particular. Haaaail to the mehtaaaal!

And how about Arsis? I haven't listened to it much yet but it made a positive first impression even if I don't think it could match some of their other amazing albums.

And considering that they took six years to finish it and preceded it with probably the best unknown metal album of the decade, hard to believe it would go completely unnoticed on U-G.

I wanted to do it, but had Ihsahn and Dioramic to do. But just for the record, here's UG's opinion:

It's very, very good.

Anyway, update from my post above: I just checked Ihsahn's After . Well, I may lose credibility by being too enthusiastic two times in a row, but it has blown me away as much as Monolith. It's alternatively beautiful, brutal and crazy. Amazing first month of 2010, folks.

This was just up my alley. I never really liked black metal, but the way this guy projects it, really impressed me.

The solos where really smooth, the vocals were spot on, and it was heavy while keeping it prog/technical. The drums lacked a bit, but they where fine. How it got less than an 8 escapes me, maybe the album as a whole isn't that good, but this one song alone got me to want to buy the album.
