Ashes Against the GrainAshes Against the Grain by Agalloch
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $6.99
This is a placeholder for CATHIS ORD - DEMO '08. This is a very promising new band that Agalloch fans would like. Long, winding songs with death vocals mixed in with elaborate folksy instrumentals. Their demo is limited to 75 copies. Check them out at http://www.myspace.com/cathisord

Far from the SunFar from the Sun by Amorphis
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $3.13
I finally got this Amorphis album, it was a gaping hole in my collection for a while. When this first came out, it only was released in Europe for over a year before it was released in North America... resulting in me forgetting about it for a further 5 years. 3.5/5
Mercy (Dancing for the Death of an Imaginary Enemy)Mercy (Dancing for the Death of an Imaginary Enemy) by Ours

Ultima ThulleUltima Thulle by Blut Aus Nord
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $4.79
Need to listen more but seems pretty kvlt. There are so many people that say it's the best thing since sliced bread so I ordered this without hearing anything. 3.5/5
How Strange, InnocenceHow Strange, Innocence by Explosions in the Sky
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $8.74
PLACEHOLDER for EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY - THE RESCUE. Apparantly, back in 2005, EITS released this as a free online download only. It is still available on their website. It's alright, not really as good as the rest of the full-lengths. 3/5.
Traced In Air (Ltd. Edition)Traced In Air (Ltd. Edition) by Cynic
Buy used from: $10.87
Sorry Cynic, but I don't think this lives up to "Focus". 3/5
Come The HorsemenCome The Horsemen
PLACEHOLDER for L'ORCHESTRE NOIR - ELEVEN. I have been looking for this album for about 6 years. Was it worth the wait? Wait another 6 years for the answer. 3/5

Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $13.25

The World That Summer - CD EditionThe World That Summer - CD Edition by Death In June
Buy new: $33.95 / Used from: $11.98
Haven't got a new DIJ album in 5 years. Sounds good so far though, similar to Nada. 3/5
My Own Wolf: A New Approach To UlverMy Own Wolf: A New Approach To Ulver
Buy new: $19.98
This is a new Ulver tribute CD. I really need to listen to it more - there are a ton of songs on here. It's kind of like the last one: some songs are good, but a lot of them suck. Most of them are so different you could hardly call it a cover. [3/5]
Live ConsternationLive Consternation by Katatonia
Buy new: $19.98 / Used from: $11.55
Decent Live album. I should listen to more, but Live albums never really lulled me in too much. [2.5/5]
Ordinary RichesOrdinary Riches by Company of Thieves
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $4.95
I got this through Amazon Vine. Not that great. 2.5/5
Perpetual MotionPerpetual Motion by Old Dead Tree
Buy new: $5.49 / Used from: $0.99
I don't like this too much. I ordered because the one song I heard - the last track (the instrumental) is really good, and it was only 6 dollars. [2/5]
