Sabbat - The Dwelling - The Melody of Death Mask.

I had never noticed I had this laying around my computer for a while, and while organizing my files last night, decided to listen to it.

This is 59 minutes of sheer asskickage, it goes from slow to fast, to a full out drum assault, to getting slammed in the balls by the guitars, to hell even a bass ****ing lead.

Everything transitions over into the next section PERFECTLY, and dear god, it just has such an amazing charm to it.

Go listen to it, forget about all your Green Carnations, Devil Dolls, Sleeps, or whatever band you can name with HUGE long songs, this WILL kick its ass.
 
This is pure old school black metal, not the lo-fi produced kind either, but just like ... great shit. Thats all I can call it.
 
I never expected you to bring up Sabbat (Jpn). You should just get everything this band has released. One of the best Thrash bands of all time.
 
Haha, yeah, I listen to alot more than what I obcess over. =P

Karmagmassacre is one of my favorite albums actually, amazing shit.
 
has the dwelling been re-released at all on cd? i know envenom and fetishism were re-issued awhile back on iron pegasus, but i don't know about any of their other earlier albums >__>

"Karisma" was their best. I haven't heard every single thing by them (holy shit, who has with a catalogue of one trillion releases?), but I've heard most of their stuff: I couldn't even fathom them doing better than that album. "The Dwelling" fucking rules as well.

i always got put off them because they shared the same name as the English Sabbat...who i think are also a phenomenal and very different thrash band !!

but years later i re- discovered them, again and you're not wrong they are great !!

I can't find it on a decent connection right now, but I seriously doubt it's better than Devil Doll.

that song fucking sucks and only pretentious art fags like it so it wouldnt be that hard to be honest

I love Devil Doll and all, but this beats it ... easily.

That song huh? Which song are you referring to?

I think you just wanted to use the phrase "pretentious art fag" in a post. Sad.
