Deicide - The Stench of Redemption

Ooh yeah, this is more like it. Probably their best?... well, that's a tough one. Legion does kick immense ass.

The Madcap Laughs "The Midnight Love"

This is becoming my latest obsession (I seem to get a lot of those these days )

Yeah, I'd say it is their best album. The combination of Santolla's melodic riffs and solos with Deicide's typical blasting style makes it one of my favourite death metal albums. Also, I've said this before, but this is what melodic death metal should sound like as a genre. To this day, I haven't heard anything quite like it.

Ever listen to Dechristianize?

And that is true... but Legion is a more savage and nimble record to these ears, both in structuring and sound.

Sis just got me the first two Kreator albums as a graduation present

NP: Kreator - Pleasure to Kill This album just freaking rapes face; around three years ago, I thought it was too heavy. This album has just enough brutality but it is balanced with enough versatility to keep it awesome, unlike another certain album from 1986. I can't get over how it has the peaceful little intro before exploding with fucking ultra fuckness.

Mahavishnu Orchestra- Dawn

Matt Pike said this band and John McLaughlin was a big inspiration on him, so I thought I'd take a looksy. And I likey

Sojourner - Empires of Ash

Possible album of the year for me. Super epic black metal that captures the feeling of the end of an era. Very somber, nostalgic stuff; way different vibe than pretty much anything else in this microstyle.

I did listen to Dechristianize, but I haven't listened to it more than 2 times. It was over an hour long if I remember correctly.

Yes, Legion is definitely more savage. That record is absolutely mental.

Abominor — 474

can't get enough of Icelandic black metal

Manowar - Louder Than Hell

I actually like Manowar's older content, but they're not an important band for me. This album feels like it was recorded in the 80's, and it sounds too old to be released in 1996. It's a good album, if I'm being completely honest.

The Ruins Of Beverast - The Desert Lair

Amazing. The crushing, melodic (and dare I say, beautiful) central section of this beast is mesmerizing, and captivating. Genius.

Metallica - Don't Tread on Me

Always spin the TBA once every couple weeks, love that opening riff.

Almyrkvi — Shrouded in Blinding Light

sound of spiralling into the fathomless void

That's a good album, been meaning to grab a copy.

Awesome album. songs are also very varied in this one.

Almyrkvi — Currents of Detestation

that electronic sounding beat is really awesome. reminds me of Darkspace

Havok - Burn

No pizza for you!

Behexen - Umbra Luciferi

Sounding pretty damn good. Going to have to buy this.

Mannveira — Von Er Eitur

this one is relatively aggressive with more blast beats

Deftones - Geometric Headdress

fairly high level of Chino eroticism

Trespassers William — I Know

fucking amazing. I was expecting something electronic or with reverb from the dream pop/shoegaze tag but there's some strong rythmic acoustic guitar under some beautifully melancholic vocals. Love at first listen

Trespassers William is really nice indeed

Blackfield - Some Day

liking this more than PT nowadays

Are you starting to enjoy the album more now? It has grown on me a lot over the past few months.

Must check out this.




Lack of Comprehension from (1991) Death - Human (2011 Deluxe 20th Anniversary Edition).
So much time without Death. Man, this sounds HUGE!

I love the crap out of the first three tracks and the last three tracks, some good stuff in the others too. I enjoy it, but "Xenon" and "(L)MIRL" should've been switched for one more heavy song to make it a truly great album. How do you feel about it?

Deftones - Drive

their covers <3

Trespassers William — Different Stars

this is definitely more slowcore than dream pop but its awesome nonetheless. I prefer slowcore anyway

Judas Priest - 'Running Wild'

Pure speed metal kickassery. \m/

Sabbat - The Clerical Conspiracy

One of the best thrash albums ever and not very well known

Nice, I've been taking a look into more jazz fusion recently too. Mostly Japanese stuff, since I'm working on a list of favorite Japanese bands. You might like KBB and Side Steps.

Trespassers William — My Hands Up

digging the more synth based sound on this album

I like pretty much every song on the album now, but there are some that I love. "Phantom Bride" is probably one of the best songs the band has written, and I think "Xenon" and "(L)MIRL" are pretty interesting too.

God Dethroned - the grand grimiore
Their most vicious album IMO.

Metallica - Blackened

Proof they can write amazing shit without Mustaine, this is heavy as balls

Autumn - 'Altitude'

Very nice goth rock/metal. Energetic, melodic, bouncy, and yet quite depressive.

Hypocrisy- Reincarnation

It's amazing how a lot of the riffs on this album have melody and a real catchiness to them but its still a dark and evil death metal album.

Vital Remains - Forever Underground

Fuck, this is really good. Just the kind of death metal I like. Brutal yet melodic, and the keyboards give it this epic Altars Of Madness vibe. I can see myself listening to this one much more in the future.

Trespassers William — Just Like This

lost in the melancholy of this

Benighted - Carnivore Sublime

Almost sublime.

Iron Savior - Megatropolis

Certainly better than the new album. Where'd these sort of choruses go?

Spiritual Beggars — Still Hunter

old fashion rock and roll. fun to listen to
