My second pick for best album of 2011 is “Pain is a Warning” from that Tennessee noise-rock institution known as Today Is The Day. Led by guitarist and vocalist Steve Austin, the legendary act has been pushing boundaries of extreme music since their inception in 1990, and deserves far more attention and recognition than what they’ve been getting.

“Pain Is Warning” is the band’s ninth studio album and presents a new rhythmic section courtesy of NYC noise-rockers Wetnurse, yet the final results are as twisted and chaotic as ever, maintaining the off-kilter, provocative and eccentric approach their demanding fans have grown to expect from them.

Check out the deliciously creepy and brutal title theme below:

People, 2011 is almost over so we thought we’d take a look back at the best albums released so far and point them out just in case you've been living under a rock for the last few months and missed some of these amazing works.

So why not start with personal favourites Cave In, their fifth record “White Silence” puts a halt to six years of dormancy and offers some of the most outstanding and diverse material from their entire career.

Just check out remarkably catchy “Sing My Loves” from 'White Silence' below:

I’ve a soft spot for this Portuguese act ever since I’ve come across their debut album "The Shape Of Hell To Come" in 2008. We Are The Damned basically epitomizes everything I love in old-school death-metal and hardcore. “Devorador dos Mortos” which means “devourer of the dead” is the band’s brand new video-clip taken from their soon to be released second album “Holy Beast” and it’s a furious, raw and downright insane theme.
You really, really need to see this, and don’t forget their sophomore work comes in March 18th through Germany´s Bastardized Recordings.
