So I have to mention...probably my favorite death metal album is "In Their Darkened Shrines" by Nile. It has nothing to do with the technicality, but rather the wonderfully dramatic atmosphere that contrasts the brutality. Does anyone know of any more bands that write that way, as in ferocious...

7/10. The riffs are awesome, I just wish they were more varied. I personally feel like the last minute or so of this song is one of the greatest moments in death metal history:

7/10. Not a fan of the production, it's a little grating and harsh, as opposed to "subliminal genocide" (my personal favorite from xasthur) where it's raw, but still smooth and hypnotic.

Wow. That was very interesting. I really can't come up with anything else creative to say about it, so 9/10. This may be one of the greatest album intros I've ever heard:

I've thought of another one: "The Unspoken King," though a crappy deathcore album, is probably the greatest deathcore album ever released.

After I posted that I started listening to Pandemonic Incantations. That album made me happy. Very happy.

I've only ever really listened to "From the Pagan Vastlands" as far as their overtly black metal stuff goes. From that perspective I agree, even though that might not be fair because obviously, it's an early demo, and I've already written a lot about why I don't find most black metal deserving...

So let me start by saying that aside from the obligatory Death, my favorite metal band is Nile. And no, I'm not a fan because they can shred really fast. In fact, a lot of their music gives me goosebumps every time I listen. They just sound so profoundly dark and epic at times... I digress...

My 4 possibly controversial opinions on metal, that kinda go hand in hand: 1. Most "true" black metal only sounds evil, savage, or dark in 30 second iTunes samples. The songs themselves are repetitive and boring as fuck, and go absolutely nowhere, which completely kills the aggressive nature...

7/10. I like how it's got a black metal-ish quality, but it's short and sweet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqyQIVT6BxA&feature=related

6/10. Never really cared for them. I'll hazard a guess that this doesn't just include metal? I'm just gonna go ahead and post something that isn't metal:
