Albums currently kicking your ass

[Phylactery]

Indeed. Those are two of my favourite doom songs in general. I’m actually only properly familiar with the first two SA, which I’ve been a fan of for years. I’ve heard their later albums but only once I think and I don’t remember much about them. Given that I prefer Beyond the Crimson Horizon to the debut, is Through the Darkest Hour the one I should look into next?

Couldn't go wrong with either Through the Darkest Hour or Adagio, though the former is my personal favorite of theirs and, in my opinion, a crucial doom title. I'd say the biggest difference between it and the first two albums is that the power metal influence from the first two are downplayed. The overall sound remains epic and huge but also thicker and weightier.



One of the finest examples of the art form.

Albums that come after Beyond the Crimson Horizon absolutely destroy the debut. Adagio is my favourite.

Fen. One of my favorite atmospheric black metal albums. Too bad none of their other releases lived up to this record's promise.

Damn I skipped over that one. Must have been half asleep as I thought it was a skeletal remains album. That shit absolutely rips. Bummer it's not on spotify.

Sweet, got the image function to work finally.

Anyways, feel like a fool for not discovering these guys until tonight. Not even through the third song and it's already kicking my ass. Total old school death metal worship. My absolute favorite kind.

Edit: more like straight Death worship.

They pride themselves on being a Death tribute band with their own songs.

Yeah I could tell right away. "Closed Casket" lmao. Not the most original. But Chuck's dead, so I'll take it

i always liked Matt Harvey, but i put that band aside after reading an interview where he basically sounded like he was sitting on a highorse and talking sideways shit about Death and Chuck in particular all while acting like he was still some kind of fan of the band(Leprosy in particular). He seems like a total douchebag, which is sad because i like a few of his other projects(Dekapitator, Exhumed)

 

[Slammed]

They don't want to be original they are paying homage to Chuck and Death. Check out their Wacken live set from either '18 or '17

Link to interview?

Yeah, I know. I get it lol. Just saying I'm okay with more of the same old same old in this case.

Repulsion as well I believe and he was on the "death to all" tour. So that's kind of odd he would be saying those things. That sucks though. As long as I don't have to be in a band with him, it's still a killer album.

Edit: it is most definitely Leprosy worship in particular. It sounds just like a better production quality version of Leprosy. Spot on.

i rather listen to the band they're trying to imitate down to a tee anyway. They're basically nothing more than an inferior cover band in my eyes.

 

[CiG]

He also played in Noothgrush. Sick sludge metal band.

Yeah, pretty much me too. I don't dislike Gruesome by any means, but Death released a shitload of albums so why bother with them. Bands who play worship metal that base their sound on very shortlived bands are cooler.

To each their own. I've got nothing against worship bands if they're worshipping the stuff I wish there was more of. Leprosy is my hands down favorite death album by far, but if I spin it day after day I'm going to burn myself out. This is like a new outlet. Did I read it correctly that you haven't listened to it? Or am I mistaken? I still think it's worth giving a shot if that's the case. The songs are still original and fresh. The stylistic elements are just familiar to Death fans.
