Albums to look out for this year.

2011 has been pretty eventful so far this year in terms of metal. The albums I had been waiting for since last year came out and a few unexpected albums where released too. 

Ulcerate : Destroyers of All

The album i was waiting for was Ulcerate's destroyers of all which was a album I had been waiting for since last year. I really wanted to see them live,but was out of the country when they just finished the album. The albums good,but not as good as everything is fire. Everything is fire was a bit more chaotic and dissonant and the production was a bit better. 

Burzum : Fallen

A surprising album appeared from Burzum . The album called "Fallen" was released a few months ago. After hearing last years album "Belus" I wasn't expecting much,but noted a progression towards Varg's earlier works which gives me future hope that he can pool his creative ideas and create another amazing album.

  

Mussorgski: Chaos and Paranormal Divinity.

Industrial black metal artist Mussorgski released a new album the first since the 90's titled Chaos and Paranormal Divinity. This album has a atmosphere that reminds me of Beherit's Drawing down the moon with its very smooth production. I really like this unique non-satanic style of black metal that Mussorgski creates. The album also includes a few re-recorded songs from In Harmony with the Universe which sound identical except for production quality. Its amazing to see a artist play songs that were written at least 16 years ago.

Beherit : At the Devils Studio 1990

Some Beherit news came out of the blue a few weeks ago with their debut album being announced. That might confuse a lot of people ( The Oath of Black Blood was a collection of demos their label released when they failed to produce their first album) The recordings of this first album were lost for 20 years and now have been fixed up and will be released on the 19th of June. The album is called "At the Devils Studio 1990". In this album you can hear 2 totally unreleased tracks and rest are totally different versions you haven't hear before.
