Albums currently kicking your ass

Well considering Burzum was at the forefront of Norwegian black metal I think it qualifies as "old school". Besides, it was made in 1993, even if it didn't come out until 1996.

Old school is a relative term, not absolute. A thrash album from 1993 wouldn't be old school, but a black metal album would just because the genre was newer. Sorta like how a punk rock album from 1984 wouldn't be old school, but a thrash metal album would.

Early Burzum is certainly old school. Filosofem specifically was the start of a lot of modern trends, whether it's awesome itself or not.

These guys are underrated. Another great album. I have seen them live a couple of times and they put on a killer show.

 

[EffigyForgotten]

I wouldn't call them "underrated" they are a solid death metal band but aren't really THAT good.

Remember I made that thread in the recs section regarding Swedish death metal and got nothing but smart ass answers? Yeah, fuck you. And HOLY SHIT I'm in love.

 

[EffigyForgotten]

Everyone said that album sucked ^^^

Lets see if their opinion is different because YOU posted it.

A lot of people here have god awful taste in music so I'm not surprised. Also, no one likes me so I'm certain my posting will not sway anyone.

I dunno. It's weird, the guitar tone is awesome, the production is pretty solid, but there's something about it that just never gripped me. Admittedly I'm not a HUGE swe-death fan, but still.

Y'know how I know I"m drunk? Listening to Mortician. Never fire this up sober.

Considering Entombed isn't that great, I can't imagine what I've heard is Entombed worship being worthwhile. However, I haven't personally listened to it, so I can't comment.

No everyone doesn't like me I think you're getting confused.

Which one? That band...

Okay...okay.

 

[Lateralus14]

What, I'd rather listen to Entombed than Entombed worship, I'd rather listen to Nihilist than Entombed, I'd rather listen to the other top tier swedeath bands than Nihilist, and I'm probably just gonna rock out to Onward To Golgotha in the end, so....what's the point in Entrails again?

 

[EffigyForgotten]

They are a good band?

 

[whiskey funeral]

^ Okay, what is this album, Effigy?

 

[SomeGuyDude]

Mjölnir - Hinweg über die Tore der Zeit

 

[EffigyForgotten]

A old NS Black Metal album, symphonic at parts with the heavy rhythms you hear in bands like Dissection. I dig it.

 

[KafkaX]

Lol @ Entombed not being that great.

You gotta be fucking kidding me.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Some of the best death metal has come from Swewden.

I don't think anyone said Entrails sucked, it's just that most people here would probably rather be listening to one of the other half dozen Swedeath bands that are far superior to them.
