Albums currently kicking your ass

The new one is killer

Yeah I've been enjoying that one too.

 

[Phylactery]

I listened to a couple of tracks from Everything is Fire for the first time the other day. All I could think was "wow, these guys really like Immolation". It seems they're compared to Gorguts more but the tracks I heard sounded a lot like Immolation.

I wasn't massively excited by what I heard, but I'll need to give it a few more listens. Is Everything is Fire their best album?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I've only played the oldschool Shin Megami Tensei games (and never got far in any of them), but this is a pretty sweet soundtrack. Definitely need to add it to my commute playlist.

Really? What Immolation album(s) sound like Ulcerate? I'm not familiar with most of Immolation's discography, largely because Dawn of Possession, which everyone loves, has never wowed me. However, if they've got records closer to Ulcerate, I want to hear.

Here in After is where they started to get more unique. You should try Close to a World Below as well.

Dawn of Possession is a much more standard OSDM affair (still good, though) compared to their mid-period.

 

[no country for old wainds]

DAWN OF POSSESSION is an anomaly among their classic recordings really, they hadn't strayed too far from their influences yet. it's kinda like IN BATTLE THERE IS NO LAW in that there'll always be old schoolers who cite it as their best album because it's their most to-the-point, dirty, primal record, but it's not exactly a great example of the more calculated, dramatic sound they became known for. i'd probably suggest trying CLOSE TO A WORLD BELOW first.

 

[Phylactery]

Pretty much. I don't know how this couldn't wow any death metal fan though:



Killer track.

Obviously less unique than what they'd become, but still there wasn't much that sounded like this at the time of its release. It also has their best cover art imo.

[Talos of Atmora]

 

[Vilden]

Now that our country according to media apparently is paralyzed by "snow chaos" (not really tho) those testing times needs fitting music, so the best winter album ever, also the best death/doom album ever and probably top 5 albums ever in general:

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Not to mention one of the best debuts ever recorded.

 

[Vilden]

Also the best album ever with the cover featuring idol pictures of the band members.

 

[CiG]

Not my favourite winter album nor death/doom album, but it's certainly great.

 

[Vilden]

So what tops it i your opinion?

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Man, I remember when I first heard that album in 6th grade. I listened to Gateways of Bereavement a lot. Was one of my favorite tracks by them.

I was sad that Jonas Renske's voice couldn't handle harsh vocals anymore. He was great here.
