Ensure your tags are correct and that you have specified both Artist/Album in your post.
Upload your files in either a .zip or a .rar archive to mediaf!re.com, in multiple parts if the album is over 100mbs. The reason for this is that we know mediaf!re is safe and efficient and allows multiple downloads. The ads on other sites, such as Sendspace, are known to contain viruses on the page. Get yourself checked out.
Post your link using code tags. It's the # icon above the policeman emoticon. This prevents the links from being traced back to the forums, lowering the chance that the wrong people notice the thread, potentially threatening Jeph with legal action.
Also, please do NOT request albums. This includes requests for re-uploads; if you miss it, try looking for it somewhere else.

In 2010 mediaf!re thread AND here. So everyone/no one is happy.
OK, this is a lot of stuff, so I'm not going to bother with album art except in select cases. All albums are fully tagged, including album art.
American Heritage - Millenarian

--- Quote ---American Heritage has tons of quick, angular riffs, but is backed up with some heavy thrash and a lot of loose bottom end crunch. A band like The Acacia Strain try for heavy by hammering down on their super detuned top string, playing monotonous breakdowns for half of an hour, but a band like American Heritage sounds as heavy as hell by just playing super tight, super intricate metal - but don't let their technical prowess lead you to believe these guys are "tech." The vocals take a background and the music itself just rides and carries the weight. But I don't mean this is like Pelican with some vocals, it's an integral part, but not the focus. I liken it to a band like Akimbo or Lords hanging out with the dudes and dudette from Kylesa or His Hero is Gone rocking out to Anodyne and playing some raging metal.

Blacklisted - No One Deserves To Be Here More Than Me

--- Quote ---So what's the big deal? Why did this one record polarize so many of their fans? Well here's the thing; Blacklisted decided against everything and released a grunge album. Yup, you heard me, a grunge album. No One Deserves to be Here More Than Me sounds like it could have came out on Sub Pop in 1990 and no one would have batted an eye about. "Everything in My Life is for Sale" sounds like a Bleach-era Nirvana and the whole album just has a cold, rainy, flannel, coffee drinking feel to it with its heavy guitars, thundering beats, and good slathering of 70's rock growled yelled vocals propelling the tracks.

Cable - The Failed Convict

320kbps CBR MP3
--- Quote ---The well worn familiarity that Cable's music exudes gives them an authentic air and screams working class angst. Still, the band seems in great form, adding nuances to their music that previously their music showed hints of possibility; well placed guitar leads cut through the morass of the steady rhythms adding a layer of subtle melody that just breaks through the haze. The storytelling style of the vocals with tales of crooked judges and going west makes the entire album sound like the band is some gang of desperate cowboys sitting on some barren plain in a post apocalyptic nightmare screaming their guts out at the moon. And song titles like “Gulf of Texaco” and “Running Out Of Roads To Ride” add to that imagery. I still am not used to the song “Outside Abilene,” but it works with the rest of The Failed Convict. There is just an initial shock that comes with hearing the song; the fade of the closing track to the line, “Pray for me, brother Bill…” is a great way to end the album.

Coalesce - OXEP

192kbps CBR MP3
--- Quote ---The OX EP is the companion piece to its stunning namesake LP, and as such it follows in the same vein of bass heavy Americana as OX. The OX EP contains five new tracks (not including the coupled opener and closer “Ox to Ore” and “Ore to Earth” that recall Sepultura's “Refuse/Resist”) of sludgy, moody, and downright pissed off metal. OX EP's first real song, “The Blind Eye”, hits like a Mac truck, as the band throw out groovy riff after groovy riff. “Through Sparrows I Rest” is an absolute beast. Sean Ingram's vocal chords work overtime, traversing a sea of tumultuous down-tempo bass and blues inspired lead work powerful enough to level a red wood. Coalesce also expand on the spaghetti western flair that was experimented with on OX, making “Joyless in Life” and “Absent in Death” sound like something from an Ennio Morricone soundtrack. Even though they act more as interludes than actual songs, they help add to the diversity and personality that ties the OX EP together.

The Catalyst - Swallow Your Teeth

320kbps VBR MP3
--- Quote ---Throughout the album The Catalyst hone in on the goal of creating an aggressive and loud record, of which they truly do succeed at doing. “Small Town, Big Mouth” is The Catalyst at their most chaotic. The vocals are belted out with great force to match the intensity of the music. Occasionally they mix in some Botch-esque angular riffing, which gives the song an added flair. Another great example is “Sterling is a Hole,” a bombastic gnarling of guitars and pounding rhythms partnered with scathing screams. If I had to choose a favorite track from the album, this would probably be it.

Keelhaul - Keelhaul's Triumphant Return To Obscurity

256kbps VBR MP3
--- Quote ---Keelhaul's Triumphant Return to Obscurity is about as fitting a title for an album as I've ever heard. After laying dormant for a few years the band has returned with their fourth full-length release. In spite of high praise from fellow musicians and critics, Keelhaul has remained, for the most part, below the radar of even the most grounded music fans. Leading off with “Pass the Lampshade,” the four-piece outfit wastes no time lollygagging around. The band's fusion of technical metal, math-rock, and classic metal is yet again in full force, with drummer Will Scharf providing the backbone for this auditory assault. The rumblings of Aaron Dallison's bass and the guitar duo of Chris Smith and Dan Embrose complete the musical equation.

mouthbreather - Thank You For Your Patience
--- Code: ---http://www.mediaf!re.com/?gcy42ynytyy
--- End code ---
256kbps VBR MP3
--- Quote ---Excoriating guitars and shouted vocals meet pounding drums and shattered cymbals here to make some pissed-off post-Flag aggro rock that will turn your head and then shred your eardrums. Born from the ashes of Wow! Owls and The SetUp, Mouthbreather released a demo a couple years ago that got a fair amount of attention. The five-piece promptly undertook a healthy touring regiment on the back of that buzz, eventually arranging for one of said tours to end in Louisville so that they could record their debut full-length with Lords drummer Chris Owens. They tracked a dozen songs in a week-long session at his HeadBangingKillYourMama Studios and claimed in Summer 2007 that they would be would be releasing the material imminently. Fast-forward to early 2009, and the Mouthbreather debut finally coming out courtesy of the good folk of Kiss Of Death. Coyly entitled Thank You For Your Patience, the debut Mouthbreather full-length pairs five songs from the demo with an equal number of new ragers, all ten of which peel paint at twenty paces.

Taint - The Ruin Of Nova Roma

192kbps WMA
--- Quote ---So yeah, in short, this is some seriously dynamic noise metal. One part dirgey-sludge that would make AmRep proud, one part post-metal ala Neurosis, and one part Chicago skronk ala Jesus Lizard.
Taint's "ace in the hole" (I couldn't resist), is the vocal skills of lead singer JimBob. Managing to keep it gruff and gritty, but still swing with the song and offer melodic twists at the same time, he gives the songs an element and depth often totally missing in band's of this ilk.
