Albums currently kicking your ass

[HamburgerBoy]

Still can't get over how ahead of its time this was.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

And why the fuck is the tiger standing on its hind legs like it's a bear or something?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Metal is often goofy and over the top, these guys are just having fun with it.

I was just referring to the album cover.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

Distorted violins and a variety of vibe, dig them hard with a sharp shovel.

How is that Disciples of Power album? I'm only familiar with the first couple.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

I am very surprised at this. I haven't listened to this band for a few years despite being a big fan of their first 4 albums (a huge fan, actually, at one time). They really brought the goods with this one. The guitar work is great in all regards - riffs, solos, melodies. The songs are fast too, which makes me happy. Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I am diggin' it.

I enjoyed it. It is the first I have heard from them though.

Definitely check out Powertrap, pretty uncontrolled tech-y thrash stuffs.

 

[Der Morgenstern]

This is very good. This is one of those where I go 'why hasn't anyone ever recommended this to me' heh.

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Ascension - Consolamentum

I finally got around to buying this, got it in the mail today.

 

[Mort Divine]

Fucking yes

One of the best BM albums in recent years

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Thanks crimsonfloyd for bringing the terrible vocals on this album to my attention, it's great

 

[Krow]

This rawks. Not that there was any doubt. Album cover might be worse than the debut.

 

[SomeGuyDude]

what a stupid fucking album cover

It's a photograph by Joel Peter Witkin, an amazing photographer known for some really morbid and left-field stuff. In that particular case he sawed a single head in half and turned it in on itself. He's also responsible for the photo on the cover of Devourment's Molesting the Decapitated, a lot of NIN's "Closer" video, plus others I'm sure I'm forgetting.
