Albums currently kicking your ass

[Spiderchrist]

I'll take that as a compliment, LOL.

20sec into the first song and yep. I'm sold. Definite EOTY list material.

I'd argue it's not as "burly" as their oldest material, which might be a production thing, but it's by no means worse. Just different.

It's a really solid album. Don't think it will make my year end list, but it's highly enjoyable.

 

[EffigyForgotten]

Don't know how I missed this one.

Seeing these guys for $12 tonight. Stage-dives all fucking night.

 

[SomeGuyDude]

FUCK YEAH!!!!

 

[Blind Guardian]

So good. The only thing that's lacking with Immolation is a good lyrical topic. I get the feeling of flying through space but they always have to ground me by singing about Jesus.

 

[KafkaX]

Immolation's lyrics fucking rule, I dont know what youre talking about...

 

[EffigyForgotten]

Why care about lyrics if you can't understand what the singer is saying?

 

[skeptik]

Because the lyrics are conveyer of the meaning of the song...and are part of the song.

So? Do you guys really care what a brutal death metal band is singing about? That's pretty stupid, if you care about the lyrics so much go listen to fucking country.

They're boring as shit compared to the music, as basically they're all about how God doesn't exist. The music is so obscure and otherwordly that it deserves something more original.

That pretty much goes with all death metal, unless you would prefer them singing about pulling cumfilled fetuses out of dead hookers covered in bbq sauce.

 

[KafkaX]

I think its perfect. They are blasphemous and catchy as hell:

I can not force the blood of christ to flow through me...
God is love and his love is dead...

They were one of the first death metal bands I got into when I was like 15, and furthermore one of the first bands I actually started paying attention to their lyrics. So maybe they hit a nostalgic sweet spot...Granted their content might be a bit over played in comparison to all the genres that fall under the metal umbrella, but I fucking love it.

I don't care what brutal death metal bands sing about because their music is terrible anyway and their lyrics are almost exclusively terrible. Only complete and utter fools simply disregard lyrics and "just listen to the tunes, man".

I'm not talking about all death metal, I'm talking about Immolation. Besides, I don't know what you're talking about. There's tons of death metal bands that have other more interesting topics than gore or Anti-Christianity: Atheist (ironically), Pestilence, Celtic Frost, Therion, Wicked Innocence, Nocturnus, Demilich, Cianide..
