Albums currently kicking your ass

[CiG]

This is a great CD. They re-recorded a bunch of old tracks live to try and capture their live setting sound and ended up with one of the best sounding releases in their career. Will be sick if they can apply this to their upcoming new album and create something utterly bulldozing.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

 

[Krow]

Found this on cassette the other day at a thrift shop for like $2 and it's in fresh condition, even still kinda has that new product smell to it.

 

[CiG]

I think “Revocate the Agitator” (THAT riff!) is my favourite track these days followed by “Dead but Dreaming”, but they are all vicious slabs of savage death metal. Thinking about it, “Satan Spawn, the Caco Daemon” is probably the weakest track here now for me, despite it being an early favourite. It’s just a bit too over the top, even by Deicide’s standards. Still good, though.

Over the top in what way exactly?

One of my friends gave me that album on my 12th or 13th birthday. That same exact copy still gets some playtime. Badass album top to bottom. Let me know what you think

 

[CiG]

It was super good, some of the most bumping production ever!

Falkenbach. It's been a long time, but I'm loving these viking chants. Definitely where the band Rivendell gets their/his influence from.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

This band continues to impress. Loving the black metal influence on this one, interesting that it disappeared entirely from later releases. Probably my 2nd favorite after Locust Years.

 

[CiG]

What you're hearing are the traces leftover from when they were called Unholy Cadaver, the black metal elements were even more present there.

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Isn't that the only album that Janice, or whatever her name is, was on? Plus Scalzi was still involved then. This and the next album are the only ones from them I enjoy.

 

[CiG]

Nah The August Engine also.

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Actually, just looked at my CD library. I have the first three. The Bastard, The August Engine and The Locust Years so Scalzi must be on all three of those because I stopped caring after that.

 

[CiG]

Yeah he was, and I'm not huge on the two albums that followed The Locust Years but you should definitely give Dead Revolution from 2016 a try. Fantastic record.

 

[The Ozzman]

I get why SFU is pretty much maligned in the metal community but this album is fun. It drags all the knuckles. It's Obituary if Chris Barnes were on vocals.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I'm in love with the new Nile

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

It's Obituary if Chris Barnes were on vocals.

Except Obituary know how to actually write a proper riff.
