New Bolzer anyone?

Unquestionable Presence. Convinced that if this album were released today it would still be considered way ahead of it's time. is there a more perfect example of uber technical, yet pure unmasturbatory riff o rama? i think not. shit slays your life and your family

checking this out now. have heard good things about it

Hah yeah no worries, wasnt so much commenting on your post, just quoted it because it sort of took me into discussing some other shite.

Looking hipster doesnt even matter. If Nattens Madrigal or Beyond the Wanderin Moon were written by pencil jean dudes with undercuts and blondie shirts I'd still rock that shite at 11. I think generally 'hipster' looking people tend (in metal at least) to, unfortunately, make lackluster and...

Probably not so controversial but: everytime i read about Cobalt it's just someone heaping praise. Am I the only one bored as shit listening to them? It's the same chord slides and cliche flourish on top of every riff, songs and albums are way too long for their own good, and then when they...

New Mithras is meh

I mean, not liking them is one thing and totally understandable, but denying that they are classics? That'd be like saying Bitches Brew or Trans Europe Express aint classics

For DM probably something like: Altars of Madness Like an Ever Flowing Stream Realm of Chaos

I heard one of their others, can't rememver which, but I know it wasn't their last release. Oh I'll definitely try some others of theirs in time. i usually give albums that are widely acclaimed at least 10 listens before I write em off if i ain't feeling them. I have also tried listening to...

I have given Heartwork so many listens over the years and i don't know why. It's so much shallower compared to their earlier work, and Necroticism is everything Heartwork is and about a billion times better. I honestly find Heartwork to be a watered down Necroticism, and really dont see myself...

I've actually never heard of Fester or Obliteration. I'll check these out. many thanks

What would you guys say are the best 5 - 10 death metal albums from Norway? Randomly thought of this the other day, just curious what some of you think.

For sure. They got pretty average after Blood in our wells, but microcosmos and estrangement arent bad, just average, which means I don't end up spinning those albums. Havent heard their newest stuff, but have been reading that it's somewhat of a return to better quality.
