Soul Killer

Bestof

WHAT WERE MY FAVORITE ALBUMS OF 2008?

	1) ORIGIN: Antithesis The old lineup is back, and delivered one hell of a punishing blow. No compromises, no clean vocals, just blasting metal at it's best.
	2) BRAIN DRILL: Apocalyptic Feasting Taking Origin and pushing it one brutal step forward. Everytime I listen to this CD I get the feeling I'm listening to the next logical step in extreme metal.
	3) THE FACELESS: Planetary Duality Progressive death metal at its finest, ridiculously hard to play riffs mixed with enough catchiness to avoid a complete mess.
	4) BLOODBATH: The Fathomless Mastery Great old-school death metal, this album was inspired by the classics, and the result is some brand new classics.
	5) BENEDICTION: Killing Music Quite a surprise, these guys can still rock after all these years. Just great, great riffs and lots of groove.
	6) MESHUGGAH: obZen A nod to the more song-oriented music of their past, not quite as great as their legendary first albums, but a good step in the right direction.
	7) RESURRECTION: Mistaken For Dead Again, a nice blast from the past, some really brutal music here from a band that never got the accolades they deserved.
	8) TESTAMENT: The Formation Of Damnation After an 8 year wait, it was inevitable that this album might not quite live up to the hype. But it is an excellent album, with some excellent tunes. Hope to not have to wait another 8 years.
	9) NINE INCH NAILS: The Slip Trent has finally impressed me again after 2 so-so albums. And he gets all my respect for trying something new as far as music distribution goes. A genius on so many levels.
	10) WHITECHAPEL: This Is Exile While nothing new, this death-core album is powerful and vicious, and it's a good album to round out our top 10.

Honorable Mention:

COG: Sharing Space
A lighter album for the band, but the songs are just excellently crafted. I get a huge smile everytime I listen to this.

ZIMMERS HOLE: When You Were Shouting at the Devil...We Were in League With Satan
Gene and crew do a fine job both bashing the metal establishment in a humorous way and also producing some great headbanging riffs.
