Albums currently kicking your ass

Vampiro is amazing. The only other 2010s album I know of that surpasses a band's 80s material is Mekong Delta's Wanderer on the Edge of Time, and that album was more of a departure than a comeback. Although speaking of 80s bands that got better after the 90s...

Butt metal of the highest caliber, just the right levels of groove, cheese, swagger, and pomp. Every time I talk metal with my dad, he's always asking for more stuff like 2000s Angel Dust, lol.

2015 Albums of the Year for me. Wonderfully simplistic and hypnotic black/thrash.

[I-TEND-TO-DIE]

I think this forum brings all the albums up I almost have forgotten!

First listen, for somewhat wanky neoclassical Japanese power metal from 1997, this is surprisingly riffy and strong.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

So, who is I-Tend-To-Die? I recognize that shitty Slayer avatar but don't remember what your original username was.

 

[The Ozzman]

lol at Seasons in the Abyss being 'shitty'

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Ok, yeah that was a bit harsh. Seasons is a-ight.

Summoning Dol Guldur

Every time I listen to this I find myself turning up the volume between the songs.
I love the drumming on this album. Flo Mounier, great death metal drummer or greatest death metal drummer?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Without a doubt one of the greatest imo. Might just be at that #1 spot.

 

[The Ozzman]

Flo Mournier is a ridiculous drummer. His furiousness on Blasphemy Made Flesh makes my jaw drop.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

hnnnng this groove, it's sad knowing so many talented Japanese dudes didn't want their names attached to the hentai games they worked on

[Talos of Atmora]

I'd honestly put this compilation in the ranks of albums like Beyond the Crimson Horizon and Let Battle Commence. There are some legitimately awe-inspiring moments on this.

 

[Vilden]

Inspired by the top 10 1992 thread?
