Mausoleum Gate - S/T. Wanted this after listening to their new song and thinking it was fucking great. Got a while before the new one comes but this one kicks ass too.
and this
Just great traditional melodic heavy metal. It's a shame they never came close to this level of awesome again but this one is awesome. (this album art is for an apparent re-recorded version.... get the original)

Kicking off the 1991 relistening with this album, an album I have always really liked but never truly loved. And I still feel that way. When it gets more moody and atmospheric (Override the Overture, Dismembered, In Death's Sleep, parts of other tracks) it's really fucking great. And I must admit that nearly every track has at least one awesome riff/section. But I just don't consider it to be one of the best death metal albums ever, and I don't know why. Easily better than anything by Entombed, though.
Left Hand Path is the only Entombed album that even deserves to be mentioned with Like an Everflowing Stream, which is the crown jewel of Swedish death metal.
I'm listening to this Convulse album for the 1991 thread. I used to think this album was 2nd tier Finnish death but it's really kicking my ass right now. I probably have not listened to them since I saw them at MDF a few years ago
