2007 in prowlermusic. 2

Following the overwhelmingly positive response to my first playlist, I bring you the second compilation of awesome songs released this year. In case you’ve turned gay after being exposed to the first one, this playlist should cure you instantly: I’ve picked for you some of the most crushingly asskicking metal songs of 2007.

Black metal (and related) has been the biggest source of good metal this year, as you’ll see in this kvltest of playlists:

1. Lunar Aurora - Dunkler Mann
2. Cephalic Carnage - Megacosm of the Aquaphobics
3. Immolation - The Weight of Devotion
4. Alcest - Les Iris
5. Darkthrone - Raised On Rock
6. Bergraven - Det man med sjalen…
7. Alchemist - Degenerative Breeding
8. Trouble - Pictures of Life
9. Shining - Laat Oss Ta Allt Fraan Darandra
10. Behemoth - At the Left Hand ov God
11. Rotting Christ - The Sign Of Prime Creation
12. Between the Buried and Me - Informal Gluttony
13. Deathspell Omega - Bread of Bitterness
14. Primordial - Gallows Hymn

I had to skip stuff from Akercocke, Sigh, Electric Wizard and Wolves in the Throne Room, ‘cos this set is long enough already. Enjoy folks, and have a Merry Metal Christmas!

First snow, yay.

For the first time in a year and 1/2 of keeping this blog, I’m adding a new category: playlists. With the end of the year nearing, I decided it’s the perfect opportunity to start compiling some playlists, to give you a taste of the best music that’s been released in 2007. The songs I pick are representative for the respective albums; I choose not necessarily the best but the ones that fit the flow of the playlist.
