Albums currently kicking your ass

[Kara-Shehr]

 

[KafkaX]

Every time.

Those are some epic jams, that produce some epic drunken singalongs.

I dont feel the same way about Possession, though..

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I sure as fuck hope he does. I still have yet to have the privilege of seeing them live, but I imagine he has multiple costumes he bounces back and forth between shows. It would be sick if he had multiples in one show, but I doubt it.

Currently kicking my ass:

Blast.Beating.Brutality.

Last time I saw them, The Curator was wearing a Pope mask, now he's gone full-Cthulhu. He might have something new by now though.

And the difference between the gimmicks of Portal and blank strip is that one expertly embodies Lovecraftian horror while the other fucking sucks.

[Funerary_Doom]

Edit: sorry SGD gonna have to agree with Yoda here. Theatrical shit on stage is awesome. I mean come on how can you not like a good costume and a good character? but a blank strip as a name seems a little lame.

 

[End of Glory]

Never been a fan of Metallica but I'm actually getting to the point where I can enjoy this one.

 

[SomeGuyDude]

This album is absolutely GIGANTIC.

Thou - Heathen

 

[KafkaX]

^ My friend was literally just telling me about them yesterday, saying I should check em out because they are playing in LA in a few weeks.

Coming from you as well, sounds like I should give em a whirl.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Well then CLEARLY YOU CAN'T BE A METAL FAN.

I don't even know where that logic comes from, really. Tight jeans are clearly more metal than looser fitting pants.

Yeah man. It's like heavy-ass doom with a gentle black aesthetic to it. Sort of like if Khanate wasn't quite so slow, or Burning Witch with some more urgency.

Also, here's another that's just evil as fuck.

The Body - All the Waters of the Earth Turn to Blood

 

[Krow]

I'm not sure what happened, but I perma burned myself out on sludge metal. I just can't stand it any more.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

Still criminally underrated.

 

[ProphetofHatred]

They're not even remotely close to being underrated.

 

[Krow]

Beyond overrated and way too long.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

I hate both of you, we aren't friends anymore.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Absolutely LOVE that Thou album. They are supposed to be killer live too.


Dawnbringer - into the lair of the sun god

 

[SomeGuyDude]

Holy.

Fucking.

Shit.

Cult Leader - Nothing For Us Here

Is it possible that this is even better than Gaza? It might be. I'm floored. Mongrel is CRUSHING.

 

[ProphetofHatred]

I don't hear any difference.

 

[KafkaX]

Where did you find that to stream? Not on youtube or Spotify and I dont see a Bandcamp page

 

[SomeGuyDude]

I don't hear any difference.

Well in fairness it's the same band with a new vocalist, so maybe it's more like "this is just the next Gaza album and they've been getting better over time." But since it's got a new band name, I feel like it's worth saying it might be better than what they did under the old name.
