Albums currently kicking your ass

[CiG]

Oh I didn't even know that.

[The Ozzman]

But going back to Anthrax: PoT is their darkest album which is probably why I like it the most.

Beastiality - Worshippers of Unearthly Perversions

Been anticipating this for a good few years now and it does not disappoint. A drastic improvement since the Ancient Bell Chimes days. Nifelheim is reborn!

 

[CiG]

Might not make my top 10 for 2017 but will most likely make my top 20.

This album has been 100% murdering me with groove the past 24 hours since it was posted to Stoned Meadow Of Doom. That said it's much more Psych/Spacerock than Stoner, but holy shit it's good. If you're a fan of Earthless, Yuri Gagarin or Spaceslug you'll adore this. IMO better than the Spaceslug album and EP from this year and on par with Lemanis from last year)

Need to check this out! How does it fare against their older albums?

Kicking my ass lately,

Vegas Martyrs - Vancouver Missing Women (Hospital Productions; 2010)
Experimental black metal made by Dom from Prurient fame and Richard from FFH. There's a power electronics edge to this that is pretty unique. Great atmosphere - super dark, love the vague title that implies abduction. Overall, really worth hearing if you're into the whole "noisy" black metal thing of the early 2010's.

Necrobutcher ‎– Schizophrenic Noisy Torment (NWN!; 2012)
Straight up, the most brutal thing I've ever heard besides like Blasphemy or The RIta. Crushingly fast and deranged. Vocals all the way up. Love the demo quality recording and absolute manic atmosphere. Blackend grind or proto-deathgrind. Fuck it. Just killer. This is a reissue, as the band was around in the early 1980's.

Listening now, this is pretty slick background music for research work. Price is kind of high for a CD

It's not quite as majestic and solid as After the Fall but at the same time it feels like a good follow-up to it stylistically. It's still in that apocalyptic vein.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Yeah I need to check that out as well.

Didnt know this was out. Grabbed it from amazon. Thanks bruh.

 

[CiG]

No problem. I'm pretty interested to see your 2017 list. This year saw a pretty good variation of genre releases.

I'm fairly behind on a few albums I need. I havent heard Forsaken, Acid Witch, Midnight, Druid Lord, Procession, Runespell, or Communion. I need to get most of that from HHR before I decide for sure. Pagan Altar is probably going to be my number one though.

 

[CiG]

I don't own a physical copy of everything I'm picking this year, I just set aside a shitload of cash and bought them all digitally from Bandcamp. I own a good deal of them though but it's been brutal to keep up with everything.

 

[CiG]

Bestial Invasion: I bet this band's name and visual aspects has caused many progressive/technical/regular thrash metal fans to avoid it. This is fucking amazing and a sure thing for my 2017 list at this point.

It's such an easy candidate for this year. Kickass stuff.

It does look like a black metal album cover though, doesn't it?

 

[Slayed Necros]

Goddamn, this is awesome.

Yeah or some kind of generic black thrash/bestial metal.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

It doesn't look like an ordinary black metal cover to me at all. Logo makes me think thrash, cover makes me think tech-death.

And that Sacral Rage album is great.
