HIIIKING MEETAAAAAAL PUUUNKS....FOREVOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!

I actually think the newer Darkthrone stuff is a whole lotta fun.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Oh, I'd agree that it's silly fun... But I mean, you know. I just don't love it like I love old Darkthrone.

 

[Evil?]

Completely agree.

 

[divine_torture]

Depends on what later Darkthrone we're talking about. Hate Them and Sardonic Wrath are good enough for me. Anything beyond that I can pretty much do without.

Agreed.

Also agreed on the above posts.

What the fuck, gents?

Transilvanian Hunger and Under a Funeral Moon are black metal essentials imo.

 

[Anticitizen One]

What gives you the impression we're disagreeing with that?

And why exclude A Blaze in the Northern Sky or even Panzerfaust?

Soulside Journey itself deserves a mention -- it's a unique slab of Swedish-inspired "doomy" (expansive, atmospheric) death metal.

... Honestly, I even like Ravishing Grimness, so yeah.

 

[Doomguy]

I do quite enjoy ABITNS as well, but I do not rank it with the two I mentioned.

Now I see what you meant. My bad.

and Panzerfaust is decidedly average imo.

Also, I really don't get all the hate for Cradle of Filth's recent material. I personally love all of their work.

By the way, what's that in your avatar Anticitizen One?

Samael really went downhill for me, the three first and also Passage to an extent I liked, after that I couldn't care less about the band.

 

[skeptik]

Relisten to The Cult Is Alive.

 

[Anticitizen One]

I will, but I recall thinking F.O.A.D. was actually a step up from that.

 

[skeptik]

You're nuts then. The Cult Is Alive is the best thing that they recorded after Total Death.

 

[Slayed Necros]

I still haven't heard The Cult is Alive. Panzerfaust is brilliant though, right up there with the three albums that preceded it as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Panzerfaust is easily Nocturno Culto's best vocal performance.

Same. I've wondered about The Cult Is Alive, but Dodens said it's good so clearly it is.

That's hilarious. Sorry, I typically find myself agreeing with you, but Ravishing Grimness, Hate Them, and Sardonic Wrath are all better than The Cult is Alive.

 

[Slayed Necros]

It needs to be said that Total Death completely fucking rules and is their most overlooked album.

 

[divine_torture]

I'm just going to go through all of the post-Transylvanian albums myself tomorrow and come back with my thoughts.

 

[Estellise Sidos Heurassein]

I don't really like the concept of this thread at all. I'd have to pick Metallica if I was going to name one band, however.

 

[Bitencourt29]

These bands come to mind

Amorphis (2 first albums)
Metallica (5 first)
Entombed (3 first)
Pestilence (3 first)

PS: I enjoy The Cult is Alive, but I still prefer Hate Them and Sardonic Wrath among their few latest releases.
