Extreme Metal

[Maddolis]

Oh yes my bad, *2010.
I've listened to a few 2011 albums and have really enjoyed most of them, but haven't connected to any to the same degree as Blekinge or Underwatermoon.
Moonsorrow's 2011 is very good (as all their albums are), Symphony X's 2011 is solid, SepticFlesh, Blut Aus Nord, AMDBL (local Aussie band), Devin Townsend's Deconstruction and Ghost, Aeon of Horus (Aussie band)'s EP, and Burzum.
Favourites are hard to say, I'd probably lean towards the Moonsorrow overall.
I'll post one song from each incase you're interested.
Thanks for the Unholy Ritual rec, I'll give that album a listen along with the Gernotshagen over the next couple of days.
The Quorthon's real sweet too, but c'mon, it's Quorthon.


Moonsorrow - Kuolleiden Maa (part1)
SepticFlesh - Therianthropy (with lyrics)
Symphony X:-'Iconoclast'
Blut Aus Nord - Epitome 6
^So beautifully dark.
A Million Dead Birds Laughing - Force Fed Enlightenment - Requiem
Devin Townsend - Stand
Devin Townsend Project - Feather (edit)
3C321 Aeon of Horus
^Not 2011 but it'll give you a good idea, plus if you like tech-death it's a must listen.
Ah found one from their 2011 EP too:
AEON OF HORUS - SYMBIOSIS (NEW SONG 2011)

I can't remember the Burzum- I don't dislike him but I've never been a fan. It was a decent album and worth listening to if you're in the minimalist bm mood, but either it wasn't great or I just don't care for him a great deal (or both?).
I'm also gonna check out Ulver's 2011 release soon- lots of sweet listening ahead!
