Albums currently kicking your ass

[ProphetofHatred]

I've seen rap posted here several times. Even pop. I see no limitations.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Nothin' Song and Frogs (along with Over Now; what a great three tracks to end the album on) are my very favorites, but while they're among the darkest there's not much metal about them.

That Gruntruck album is pretty decent, btw, among the most metallic of grunge releases.

 

[Krow]

Caveman battle doom.

 

[zerostatic]

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Caveman battle doom.

Conan?

Riddle of Steel

 

[SomeGuyDude]

Demonic Death Judge - The Descent

A Storm of Light - As the Valley of Death Becomes Us, Our Silver Memories Fade

That 2nd one is fucking amazing. It's like a slightly less angry but more grandiose Neurosis.

 

[MasterpieceMesias]

Lux Aeterna and the title track are my favorites from that album

 

[Krow]

Conan?

Riddle of Steel

Yep. Live album but production is studio quality.

 

[KafkaX]

Sannhet - Known Flood

Excellent blend of post rock and post metal.

 

[SomeGuyDude]

^^^ Fucking right it is.

 

[ProphetofHatred]

I couldn't listen to it for more than 5 minutes. What did I miss?

 

[KafkaX]

Well, if you are basing your opinion about the album with only a 5 minute listening experience, I believe you missed a lot.

Or maybe Im just talking crazy because I enjoyed it from the first 5 seconds.

 

[SomeGuyDude]

If you don't like the post sound I don't think anything is gonna happen after the first 5 minutes to win you over. Meanwhile, if you do like post, pretty much as soon as it starts you know you're gonna be in for an amazing ride.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

Deathspell Omega - Veritas Diaboli Manet in Aeternum: Chaining the Katechon

 

[End of Glory]

 

[Eligos]

Well, if you are basing your opinion about the album with only a 5 minute listening experience, I believe you missed a lot.

Or maybe Im just talking crazy because I enjoyed it from the first 5 seconds.

I gave it a good 20 minutes and thought it was pretty dull. Perhaps I'll revisit in the near future.



Vhol - S/T

So badass. Progressive BM with NWOBHM shout-outs and some doom. Even some occasional McLaughlin-esque microtonal riffage. Loving it.

Sounds interesting, will check out. Cover art looks a bit Voivod-esque.

 

[Eligos]

I would actually recommend it if you're into YOB (Mike Scheidt does vocals) or Krallice at all. Also, Aesop from Agalloch is on drums and the other 2 cats are past members of Ludicra. Bit of a super group, this one.

Voivod would also be a decent reference point.

 

[Nephilim96]

Yeah, that VHOL album is real good.

 

[Eligos]

This vocalist reminds me a lot of Vintersorg. The band is like the brainchild of Borknagar and Meshuggah, with stupid soliloquizing interludes.
