Albums currently kicking your ass

[Krow]

I've seen that album posted so many times recently... what is that band like?

 

[Episteme]

Very dark and chaotic atmospheric death metal. Reminds me of Impetuous Ritual and Portal but with more discernible riffs.

 

[The Emptier]

Damn, gonna check that out

edit: wow holy shit, they kick ASS. so much like Portal, minus the shitty ass wah/phaser effects

 

[Dak]

I think Cosmogenesis is more brutal, technical and straight forward, but Omnivium brings everything to a completely new level and stretches out far beyond anything I would've expected, while still retaining an unbelievable mastery of technicality and sophistication

Perhaps more technical, but I got no sense of brutality or direction of Cosmogenesis. In a word, boring. With Omnivium it sounds like Obscura finally figured out how to write songs, not just play their instruments well.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

 

[Doomguy]

This is also one of my favourite BM bands, this album has been kicking my ass for a long time now.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

really enjoying the shit out of this album

 

[Der Morgenstern]

I suppose 4/20 is coming up. Must be something in the air around here.

[JontRevolting]

You're damn right, Rituale Satanum is pure gold.

This is also one of my favourite BM bands, this album has been kicking my ass for a long time now.

Hell yeah manhopefully there'll be a new Arghoslent album this year.

 

[Mort Divine]

hopefully the new arghoslent will have more riffs than bouncing

 

[JontRevolting]

That split with Martial Barrage is the only time i've ever been even slightly disappointed with Arghoslent and even that contained some great stuff.Their stuff pretty much always contains more riffs than you can shake a stick at.

 

[The Butt]

Regarding Obscura, I haven't heard Omnivium, but Cosmogenesis was near perfect, and easily one of the best albums of 2009 for me. I don't see them topping it.

They have - it's awesome. Will be in my top 10 for 2011.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I dont get the Cosmo hate, I always thought it was a badass disk.
Only listened to the new one once, so I cant judge the two together yet.

and all Arghoslent is good stuff

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Arghoslent is good at times but quite over rated. Plenty of bands write good riffs. If they weren't so controversial they wouldn't get half the attention they do.

 

[isberg]

This is good. This is very good.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Arghoslent is good at times but quite over rated. Plenty of bands write good riffs. If they weren't so controversial they wouldn't get half the attention they do.

Galloping Through the Battle Ruins is really great stuff, but I'd agree on their more recent stuff.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

I am STILL getting my ass kicked by New World Shadows by Omnium Gatherum. It's easily going to be my album of the year despite the early release date. My mind is made up. The only thing that could possibly top it, which I see coming, would be one of the two Devin Townsend albums.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

really enjoying the shit out of this album

Man for the life of me I cannot get into that band. God knows I've tried. It isn't for lack of effort, believe me. The dude has an amazingly powerful voice but the songs just go nowhere. They do nothing for me.
