Seriously? You shouldn't listen to Frost, it has to be the most boring Enslaved album out there. If you want to get to know them, listen to Eld for the old-era Viking Enslaved, or to Riitiir/Axioma Ethica Odini for the new material. More progressive, more influenced by other genres. Don't make up your opinion based on what you hear on Frost:)

Yeah it's killer, definitely get a copy. I agree, a definite step beyond the debut. The new songs are amazing live too (even though I saw them in daylight)

I recommend you check out their split with Blaze of Perdition for another track somewhere in that same vibe, it's on Bandcamp for a ridiculously low starting price.

I myself just finished listening to the debut EP by Infernal for the hundredth time or so. Again, again...

Mayhem – I Am Thy Labyrinth

Love Maniacs vocals here.

Cradle of Filth - The Twisted Nails of Faith

The sound quality on "Cruelty and the Beast" definitely holds the album back. I still find it listenable though, but those drums get on my nerves.

Urfaust - Der Mensch, die kleine Narrenwelt

Grim as fuck!

Anaal Nathrakh - So Be It

They pretty much destroy At The Gates with this song.

Mortiis - Keiser av en dimensjon ukjent

Started playing the original Baldur's Gate recently, this would make an appropriate soundtrack. Need to get the album before this as well.

Teitanblood - Plagues Of Forgiveness

Death cult supremacy

Drudkh - Decadence

Lovely relaxing music, never get tired of this band

Decided to listen to the new Cannibal Corpse...
Their newer albums still don't do anything for me. Its not bad by any means, just not my thing

I need to give that Erebus Enthroned a listen. Love the artwork too, reminds me of 'Altar's' Paramnesia and 'Grave Miasma's' Odori...

Decided to listen to the new Cannibal Corpse...
Well, it doesn't do anything for me, like the rest of their newer albums. Its not bad by any means, just not my thing

ElvenStorm - Reign In Glory

This is actually an interesting band. This is some good German sounding power metal with a pretty good female vocalist. Her accent is prominent sometimes but this is good shit nonetheless.

Wolf - Skeleton Woman

This is my first listen to their new album as well as my first listen to the band and I must say I'm not sure how I missed out on these guys. This album is powerful and crunchy with some great guitar work. Another good find.

^ Try out Black Flame or Legion of Bastards; those are the really awesome ones. New one ain't half bad though...I dig the bass-heavy guitar crunch.

Hammerfall - Live Life Loud

Lots of fun so far. The bar is set low with these guys but this is their best in years, probably since the actual early material itself. Joacim is delivering maybe the performance of his life and the instrumentals are fresh and fun.

edit: A few weaker songs, but overall an extremely solid album.

Goreaphobia - Vile Beast of Abomination

While I think their full lengths are their strongest works, I really enjoy the gritty, rough-around-the-edges Death Metal they played in the demos compiled here.

Grave Declaration - The Great Exaltation of the Most Sovereign God

This EP is just as good as the album. I love this band.

Wolfshead - Personal Venom

Getting used to the gruff vocals isn't the easiest thing ever but once you're past that hurdle it's pretty damn awesome heavy/doom.

Mike LePond's Silent Assassins - Red Death

This sounds pretty good except Alan Tecchio's voice can be grating. We'll see how the rest of the album holds up.

Striker - Second Attack

Man, you haven't fucking lived until you've seen Striker perform this tune live. Fucking earth-shattering.

Hirax - Demons Evil Forces

Appreciation of American thrash... rekindled. This sort of thing manages to preserve the excitement I felt when I was first discovering thrash, despite the ravages of my being since desensitised by heavier things of the black and death persuasion.

Kreator- Terribile Certainty

I have to admit, over time the album itself has not aged well, but its very easy to see why this is a live staple.

Kauan-IV

The best song of the album, IMO. A beautiful mixture between the old and new Kauan.

Lets see what they have to offer with the upcoming album!

Skyclad - Our Dying Island

Amazing lyrics

Nokturnal Mortum - Hailed Be the Heroes

Völkisch and angry!

Nasheim - Solens Vemod

Good solo atmospheric bm project from Sweden. This album was released early 2014 and is yearlist material imo

Thunder and Lightning - Torn in Two

It's like this album was made specifically for me. A synthesis of the best elements of the oft-underappreciated dark PM sound propagated by bands like Morgana Lefay, Tad Morose, Arch Nemesis and Brainstorm. Great vocals, catchy songs and chunky, headbanging riffs galore, plus a cool lyrical story about a girl who takes over the grim reaper's job. Marvelous work.

Too cheesy for me since I was expecting a Black Metal band.


It does!


Old Mortiis is AMAZING!


Nice!


I listened to (2005) Nokturnal Mortum - Weltanschauung too while coming back from holidays (http://viviendoapesardelacrisis.blogspot.com.es/2014/08/vacaciones-de-buceo-en-la-costa-azul-de.html). Nice album from a quite solid and personal band.

I just listened to (1992) Incantation - Onward To Golgotha for the first time.
Not my death metal cup of tea. LOL!

Horde - Invert the Inverted Cross

Meh. Jayson gets more attention than he deserves for this.

Striker - Underground

This new album just kicks my ass each time I listen to it. This is traditional/power metal at it's finest.

Necrowretch - Putrid Death Sorcery

Despite its monotony, I really love this album.
Unrelenting Death Metal with some blackened thrash traces. Nice

A very interesting album, perhaps the production is the weakest part of this work, it sounds slightly weak and low, doesnt it??

But there some great songs.

Right now:

Ifing-Realms forged

Absolut brilliant epic/atmospheric black metal.

Quoting this for truth. I fucking adore this album

Lvcifyre - Nekvomanteion

Twisted violent and fucking pitch black death metal at it's finest.

Yes the production is quite weak compared to his previous album (Evighet/Untergang) but I still like it. It's less harsh but more atmospheric which I like.

NP: Hellveto - Klatwa

Excellent eastern european black metal with slight folky influences. For the fans of Slavland, Dub Buk, Nokturnal Mortum, Kroda,...

Timeghoul - Infinity Coda

Timeless eccentric death metal. They've got just 6 songs and they're legendary due to them.

Grave - Them Bones (Alice In Chains cover)

An interesting choice of song to cover but one that really has some sick riffs to it originally. Grave speeds it up a bit and I am impressed with Ola's handling of the chorus as he gets the feeling across while still growling quite deeply.

Satyricon - Dark Medieval Times


nice pan-pipes :d

Circle Of Animals - Destroy The Light

Bruce Lamont Chicago worship

Ah... before they were too cool to make good music!

Burzum - Glemselens elv

What's left to say about this epic? Every section builds on the previous one until it reaches its climax at over 7 minutes in. Amazing stuff.

Fear Factory - Acres of Skin

I think Digimortal is a good album, i love the electronic/futuristic sounding flourishes.

Pain Of Salvation - The Second Death Of

Amazing live album. Fuck, I wish I could see these guys live. The different endings. The extended jam sessions. Brilliant. And that 'Hallelujah' cover. Damn.
