Albums currently kicking your ass

[Mort Divine]

Yep, solid stuff right there

Sadly they seem to have gone inactive...

Yeah, because he joined some butt rock group or something...

Damn shame

 

[Baroque]

Not the first time this album has kicked my ass. Kicking it rather hard today though.

Deception Ignored still grows on me with every listen. Easily one of the greatest tech-thrash albums.

Nice! Bonafide classics right there, especially the first three.

Yeah I have to admit I totally underestimated Slayer until recently. Honestly I think I let the image (or my misperception of their image) and the fanbase get in the way of seeing the music for what it was and consequently I hadn't given these records enough time. But really the musicanship, songwriting and overall aesthetic is just phenomenal. Hell Awaits is especially amazing. Some of these song structures are so interesting and the interplay between bass and guitar is really great. And Reign in Blood is totally brilliant in a different way. If someone asked me to show them one song that epitomized metal I think I'd choose Angel of Death.

Yea, Hell Awaits hadn't really clicked with me until recently too. When i was younger i just did not like that album as much as the other two, but that changed a couple of years ago after i blasted that album non stop for about a month straight working on deliveries.

I also love how all three of those albums sounds so different, yet still hold that signature wicked sound of theirs.

Taking a little Metal break with the exception of some Candlemass and Agalloch.

Seriously one of the evilest Metal I've ever heard.

Sometimes you have to admit you just can't beat the classics...

 

[Eligos]

This, I, and Animals As Leaders are the only djent albums that have withstood the test of time for me so far. I wish more of this profusion of late was intellectually driven instead of trying to be dance music played by guitars.
