Albums currently kicking your ass

[Avigrus]

Is this good?? Should I listen to it?

Yes and yes.

 

[Spiderchrist]

Epitomy of punk/hardcore.

Funny, fans of Blind Guardian and Helloween are exactly the people I would recommend Defender to. The album is written and played by von Segebaden of Dawn, and was released on Necropolis, which might give a hint that it's not your average Euro power metal.

Seems pretty straight forward, I like it enough to buy it. I hope my local store has it, but it looks like something I'll have to get online. Speaking of Dawn (probably my favorite band) what the hell happened to them? Metal archives lists them as active but I haven't heard anything for a long time.

AoP is far more black metal inclined than les discrets. Granted i like them too.




Yes.

Just got the White Tomb album today, they didn't have this one for some reason, but I loved it, thanks. Getting Mammal when I can.

 

[Cronopio]

You, my dear friend, have great taste. Those two albums are among the best Sweden has to offer in terms of PM.

Is this good?? Should I listen to it?

Yes and no.

Good god damn band, good god damn album. I fucking love The Germs.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yes and yes.

This. However, it is more melodic and whatnot... but it's also probably the most varied and furious they've been in a long time.

Preparing for Days of the Doomed fest. Can't wait to see these fuckers in 24 hours.

Ambient black metal at it's finest in my opinion. I can't stop listening.

 

[SwarmOvRats]

hidden gem.

 

[Blind Guardian]

I wish I could get into the second Lost Horizon album as much as Awakening the World but it's just not happening. Most people seem to like them equally much, so there has to be something I'm missing.

 

[El-Shoggoth]

 

[EternalMetal]

New Kreator is good? Seriously? On first listen I thought it was standard fare melodeath with a thrashy edge to it; definitely nothing special. Havent given it another spin.

Awesome crunchy thrash riffs and great arrangements, this album kicks my ass every time I hear it.

 

[Balls McHoolihan]

Just got it today

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

So many good riffs.

^ One of my all time favorites.

Somehow I overlooked this band until recently. The way they were originally described to be I imaged them as another Melechesh, but they are refreshingly different and excellent songwriters.
