Albums currently kicking your ass

[The Ozzman]

Fuck yeah for Run to the Light above, almost as good as Psalm 9 and the S/T.

Woke up with Death Trap playing in my head. With no irony this is a great album, some of the best Priest-y 80s metal out there, imo even better than Thundersteel.

I wish this would get reissued

It's weird how some bands fall out of favour, most albums I love stick with me for me years. I remember you mentioning a similar thing with Miasma - are there any other examples? I wonder if The Chasm will ever fall out of favour.

Arghoslent is another fallen-from-grace in-crowd child.

EDIT: A decade ago everyone seemed to love the Ulysses Siren demo comp but not many care about it anymore either. Shame because that one is objectively perfect, their loss.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Funny, I currently like Arghoslent more than I ever have before. Galloping Through the Battle Ruins is glorious.

 

[Phylactery]

It is indeed. Incorrigible Bigotry also rules. Never got into Hornets... As much, I should revisit it soon.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I guess people are now into House of Atreus instead.

[The Ozzman]

One of the greatest power trios ever

This board does seem to be really heavy on doom/power/trad though. Of course I love all of those genres as well, but they rarely hit the emotional heights of my favourite black and death metal.

it's nothing to do with falling out of favour really, it's just a different userbase. most of the BM/DM-heads have gone so it's inevitable that some of the more obscure underground classics should disappear from conversation.

arghoslent haven't fallen from grace at all AFAIK. i still love 'em, even the later more riff salady stuff.

hmmm some other examples... moonblood. golem. countess. vore. astrofaes. i'm not saying these were all hugely hyped here but they were certainly more a part of the extreme metal canon, they seem to have vanished almost completely these days on this board.

i was raised on cream from a young age. two things i learned very early:
1) the picture's got a moustache.
2) the rainbow's got a beard.

That's a good one but it's a rip off of the White Room riff. I really like this one even though it's a hit but it's fun to play on drums because it's somewhat simple


I also like this but you already mentioned it

 

[no country for old wainds]

thought it preceded 'white room'? it did in terms of when the singles/albums were released anyway.

I was wondering this as I posted...

You are right. It is on Disraeli Gears..

 

[zerostatic]

Love this album. The drummer is amazing. Recommend me some other great death metal drumming performances.

Pretty much ditto man.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

what's everyone's fav cream song? mine:

God, you wanna talk about tough choices... Strange Brew is really good, although I can't remember if that's the one where Eric ripped off the solo from Albert King's Born Under A Bad Sign title track.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

This is my favorite too.

Never heard of Vore. I like the rest of those bands, though.

I own albums by all of those bands. In crowd as fuck. Moonblood is the only one I still really care about, although Vore's Lord of Storms is cool too.
