My 2 favorite metal albums of 2008...so far

[phlemmy]

Arsis - We Are The Nightmare
utterly brutal. the drums are so insane as are the riffs. it's scary to watch the guitarist/singer live as he can nail those riffs while doing his death metal vocals. Buy it if you're into technical death metal ala Death, Cynic etc.

Testament - The Formation of Damnation
Testament is back! Skolnick is back! a damned fine recording.
