Albums currently kicking your ass

[Eligos]

 

[Ross]

Really, really awesome.

 

[Blind Guardian]

It's pretty great, I highly recommend it.

You know I once played it in my car when driving two friends, and they instantly started blabbering about something being terribly wrong with the drum production. Imo that's the kind of record where you don't really give a crap about the production as long as it's ok, because the song material is at such a high level, like with Burzum. The songs aren't meant to pound your face in anyway.

 

[Mercyful_Fate0]

Listening to the Somewhere Far Beyond album by Blind Guardian right now.

^fantastic album.

 

[Einherjar86]

Be'lakor remind me a lot of Insomnium. Not a bad thing, just throwing it out there.

 

[Zznwolet]

Atrophy - Violent by Nature
Death Angel - The Ultra-Violence
Exodus - Bonded by Blood

Took me long enough to find these thrash gems. I like the fact the sound less like Metallica which a year ago I probably would've gone for the opposite. afte Death Magnetic I've really soured on that band.

 

[whiskey funeral]

 

[youdontknowme]

is that black metal era Sigh or their more experimental stuff?

 

[Krow]

Cool album. Reminds me of The Lamp of Thoth for some reason...

 

[Mentok]

 

[Master_Yoda77]

This album is pretty good. I've left it in my car for the last 2 weeks. It's much better than their first album and may be a top 10 contender for the year.

Definitely top 10 for me. If you like that listen to the new Diocletian as well.

 

[Bondarus]

For me its 'Alien' by Strapping Young lad, 'Down II - a bustle in your hedgerow' and a pre-release copy of 'Evolution: Creatio Ex Nihilio' by Enochian Theory.

I love the sonic chaos of 'alien'. its so full on that one of the stereos in my house can't actually deal with it (LOL).

'Down II' is just a beast of an album. Sludgey, southern fried riffs with Anselmos tradmark vocals just creating a real sort of 70's vibe almost.

Don't care much for Anselmo as a person these days (after being a massive Pantera fan in my youth' but Down are a band who make consistently good records.

Firstly Enochina Theory are my cousins band so i may be slightly biased , but you should give them a listen and see what you think. Epic progressive rock.

 

[Mentok]

Really worth checking out if you haven't already.

 

[supseudonymous]

 

[Rumpole]

Cool album. Reminds me of The Lamp of Thoth for some reason...

To be honest they're not very similar. But then again, I like Hour Of 13 a lot more than The Lamp Of Thoth.

 

[Morbid Death]

 

[Krow]

To be honest they're not very similar. But then again, I like Hour Of 13 a lot more than The Lamp Of Thoth.

I think it's just the lyrical content that I made the connection with... They're both good... But I prefer The Lamp.

 

[Jan Destiny]

Anaal Nathrakh - In the constellation of the black widow
Dagoba - Face the colossus

 

[Personified Hatred]

Dimmu Borgir - Stormblast

It's a good album, contrary to what many people say.
