Currently really digging Keith Merrow's "Awaken The Stone King" fantastic album and pretty much the most metal thing I've heard all year ?
Keith Merrow is a great guitarist and I highly recommend checking out his music - you can download two of his albums for free here:

You can also download them for free on his website, "Awaken The Stone King" however you gotta pay for ? but the download system on his site is really quick and easy and it's also available on Itunes if you find that easier.
Also been listening to Cosmogenesis which is an awesome album by a Polish guy named Piotrek Gruszka. Likewise with Merrow he released it for free and it's available here:

Lastly I've also been listening to a 17 year old Polish guy named Jakub Zytecki, he's an insanely good guitarist and has some awesome ideas. He released a whole bunch of demos of what could almost be described as techno-djent-metal, awesomely enough much like the other two he also released everything for free:

All of these guys are fantastic musicians and if you like progressive metal with seven and eight string guitars then you might like this ? The recording quality of some of it isn't amazing as unfortunately most of these guys had to record at home, but all in all I feel they got pretty good results all things considered.
So yeah for anyone interested this is what I've been listening to recently, and because these guys are all really cool you can legally download and enjoy them as well if you see fit ?
@ BMU - In case you read this, Jeff Loomis does a guest track on Keith Merrow's "Awaken The Stone King" - It's awesome ?
