Albums currently kicking your ass

[Krow]

Usually not big on one song albums but unlike Dopesmoker which beats you over the head with repetition this one keeps it fairly fresh and flows very well. It's not suddenly going to be my favorite Sabbat album, but its damn good.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

 

[ProphetofHatred]

I loved them for a while, but their sound is so one-dimensional and they haven't done anything interesting with it for so long now that I'm not even bothered to listen to anything past the teaser for the new album.

After to listening to the Car Bomb album 3 times now, I will definitely say they do the meshuggah thing better than meshuggah. Their music is more fast and interesting as you said. Car Bomb and Ulcerate are so far the best 2016 releases I've heard, and Ulcerate is basically like Car Bomb in that they're essentially Immolation on steroids. Two bands taking the mantle of genre greats.

Meshuggah's recent album is the best of their entire career. Definitely worth checking out.

I find that hard to believe but I'll give it a spin at some point.

Tried to go for a bush-walk but the rain is too heavy right now. Really bummed out that I didn't get to communicate with my ancestral spirits. So instead I'm sipping some oyuwari and enjoying some wholesome pop music.

Unquestionable Presence.

Convinced that if this album were released today it would still be considered way ahead of it's time. is there a more perfect example of uber technical, yet pure unmasturbatory riff o rama? i think not. shit slays your life and your family

Probably the best 2000 Manilla Road album.


Altar of Oblivion - Sinews of Anguish
I haven't actually heard this until just now. I've had both Salvation and Grand Gesture of defiance for a long time and liked both. This is just as good. While the singer isn't the best I just love his delivery.

 

[CiG]

It's spectacular quality seems only to be surpassed by how spectacularly underrated it is.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Grand Gesture is better IMO but yeah, Altar of Oblivion are totally underrated.

Heavy metal is lame.

Sargatanas - The Enlightenment

A bit overlong at an hour in length, but this is some nasty black/death metal. Cool cover art, too.

 

[no country for old wainds]

yeah, one of the cooler mexican bands. somehow they've been 'active' for 30 years (supposedly anyway) and only managed to release 2 albums so far. they share(d) a member with tenebrarum, their album's p cool too from what i remember.

Joy Division

[Talos of Atmora]
