Decided to post this, a fairly recent band and only new
Another fairly good band with amazing potential in the future, it seems different and great.

Vorum - Carved In Dead Flesh
Death/Grindcore, i don't really know/care about genres, close enough and so on.
My worthy discoveries of the week.
Diskord - Doomscapes [sample]
An album for people looking for some strange, unique technical death metal (not show-offy stuff) that still has a bit of that old school sound.
Tyrant Trooper - Insane Sickness [sample]
Nothing unique about this one, just straight, pure old school US DM with some pretty great catchy riffs.
Dødsengel - Mirium Occultum [sample]
Very solid black metal album; it's raw but still has great production. The song I linked above is 20 minutes long but despite it's length never gets boring, that's gotta say something. Recommended to any black metal fans out there.
Rites of Thy Degringolade - An Ode to Sin [sample]
I love the production of the drums on this one. Great death/black metal albums with a chaotic twist.
Bongripper - Satan Worshiping Doom [sample]
Instrumental doom metal, sounds boring but it isn't. Music you can lean back and enjoy while smoking a doobie.
Thantifaxath - 2011 Demo [sample]
Intense, riff based black metal from Canada. Great stuff considering it's their first demo. I like the fact that you can clearly hear the bass in their songs.
Brocas Helm - Defender of the Crown [sample]
This band has been around for sometime now (31 years to be exact) but this is the first time I've bothered to listen to any of their songs; I'm glad I did; this is cheesy, epic heavy metal at it's finest. Fans of the genre should check this out if they haven't already.
Pretty good week, wouldn't you agree?

Is it just me or Black Metal bands don't make much use of solos in their songs?
Depends on the band really. Early black metal like Mayhem, Burzum or Necromantia occasionally used solos, but generally most bands don't. I think it's important to understand that black metal is a lot about atmosphere and that solos can often ruin or break it if used wrongly, so most bands avoid it.
That and a lot of the musicians simply weren't capable of doing solos.
Not that that's saying a lot - quite a few Death / Thrash solos consist of nothing but whammy bar divebombing.
Actually one of the resons I don't like Drudkh that much is because they do have solos (Bloon in Our Wells). It just seems wrong to have them in BM.
There is a band that i can never get enough of. This band is called Alexisonfire. Whenever i listen to this band memories of when i was younger and my high school years just come up. Such a strong nostalgic feeling from these guys. They broke up not too long ago (sadly). But their older stuff is genius. The clean vocalist ( singer of city and colour) has a voice that cures cancer :O.
I strongly encourage anyone that hasn't listened to them before, to do so.

Also the most epic intro i've ever heard in any type of metal song- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SVZB2sWye0
Damn, i love this band.
And all around most epic song ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNq77...eature=related

Not in ours for sure, as it is post-hardcore.
Have you guys listened to the new Cannibal Corpse ? It's pretty awesome. Sounds a bit like Kill.
Yeah, alexisonfire is a Post-Hardcore band. Not related to Metal.
@Enders -- only true for modern, popular Metalcore.

Some more great 2012 stuff:
The Chills sounds promising. The new Goatwhore is pretty great too.
Oh, and I suggest checking out Ignivomous - Contragenesis stream that is up until tomorrow(?)
from here: http://nuclearwarnowproductions.band.../contragenesis
Starting to listen to it now myself, should be a really solid old school style death metal album.
Helloween.org
My favourite band after my friend introduced me to their epic music about 2 years ago!! ;D
