Several folks talking about the Cauldron record, so yes.

I have a few 2011 releases already: the new Cauldron, the new Destruction, the new Full Blown Chaos, the new Motörhead, and a double disc by some black metal band called Helrunar.

how is the Motörhead?
― Shakey Moe Szyslak (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 31 December 2010 19:08 (thirteen years ago) link
New Motorhead's as solid as ever.
Cauldron and Ken Mode are the best 2011s I've heard so far, but there are some biggies I'm hoping to hear next week.
Oh, and Graf Orlock's Doombox is great fun too.

I like Ken Mode. Not familiar with Cauldron at all.
― Shakey Moe Szyslak (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 31 December 2010 19:36 (thirteen years ago) link
Is the Cauldron release available online in the usual crevices?

You mean journalists who never buy music?
― Shakey Moe Szyslak (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 31 December 2010 21:51 (thirteen years ago) link
I wish I didn't have to buy as much music as I did this year.

hi metal dudes did any of u hear this album out last year and/or dig it? my drummer showed it to me today and i loved it! not the type of thing i consider my thing at all, i guess it's like... power metal? kinda proggy? rly have no idea how to talk abt this, but it's like, relentless, epic, ongoing soloing (exclusively in triplets), really energetic, kinda posi. gave me a bit of a 70's psych vibe, too

Quite a few people love titan here (myself included) but noone probably responded to you as you revived the 2010 thread! I didn't notice this one had been revived.their first release on paradigm recordings is still my fave thing they have done
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Saturday, 26 February 2011 22:11 (thirteen years ago) link
sweet i'm glad u guys dig it, i revived this thred bc i didnt want to be scorned
imagine ppl in this band high five each other on the reg

Titan are okay, but like most of those prog revival bands they leave me kind of cold. I would rather listen to Area.

double disc by some black metal band called Helrunar
Haven't heard their new one (iirc their label only deals in digital promos now, fuck that), but I wrote this a few years ago about an earlier album by them and one by their labelmates Noekk, both of which I still pull out and play, three years later -- still like the Prophecy-label Nucleus Torn album from that year, too:

Otherwise, people will perhaps be shocked to learn that I actually agree with lots of the people on this thread! Or at least people who say the Cauldron album is their favorite metal album from this year. In fact, as I already mentioned on Past Expiry Hard Rock, it's one of my favorite albums from this year, period, and one of the catchiest metal albums I've heard in years. Also been liking the Holy Grail and Christian Mistress albums from 2010 (hey, I'm slow, sue me), though the latter with reservations; wish it was less thinly and fuzzily produced, so I could hear the singing and songs more. But I do detect real potential in that band.
Thought the new albums by Burzum, Crowbar, and Stryper (all of which I reviewed for Rhapsody) were bearable; will never play them again, though.
And finally, here's something halfway amusing I wrote a couple weeks ago on all-covers albums by metal bands. (Garage Days and the Def Leppard one from a couple years back aren't available on Rhapsody, so those got left out; I'm sure I left out other obvious ones too, but this was still fun to do):

I'm slow, sue me
So slow that I probably just posted, for maybe the very first time, on last year's thread! (Didn't notice 'til now, oh well.)
