Best of 2009 that Was, Is, and Shall Be

[Mr. Bungle]

I prefer Pierced to Effigy.

 

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

The production hurts Pierced.

 

[Mr. Bungle]

I hear nothing wrong with the production on either album. Breeding the Spawn is a different story, horrible.

 

[Dak]

Waiting on Blood Oath as well.

Yeah BTS is the worst of those for me definitely. I dunno something about the production on Pierced doesn't totally jive, and the songs seem less memorable. I think it's mainly just me because my eyes have been totally clouded by the first slam breakdown ever in Liege of Inveracity which just takes that album to a whole new level imo. And in the first track, though the others are certainly no slouches.

 

[Mr. Bungle]

Thrones of Blood=better than anything on Effigy. IMO, anyway.

 

[Ross]

So far:

Fleshgod Apocalypse - Oracles
Gorod - Process of a New Decline
Absu - Absu
Amorphis - Skyforger
Excoriate - On Pestilent Winds
CKY - Carver City
Tribulation - The Horror

etc

This +

Mastodon

Best song on that record by far. I remember when they played it live at the Carcass show like it was yesterday. But it can't rule out Effigy entirely. No wayyy.

I knew there was a reason I kept you around

I'd have dropped my pants and rubbed one out right there.

 

[IntoPhagist]

Mastodon
Obscura
Dream Theater
Isis

 

[Krow]

I want to mention
Awaiting the Autopsy - Couldnt Tell the Bodies Apart

Insanely good brutal death metal that came from seemingly no where.

I also cant find a single thing interesting about Obscura (band)

 

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

Me either, seriously sounds like yet another case of "skill over songwriting"...every single thing on that album screams SOULLESS WANKERY to me.

 

[Mr. Bungle]

I absolutely LOVE Cosmogenesis, I think it's brilliant.

Agreed. A friend of mine showed this band to me because he's been absolutely fellating them for awhile now. When he asked me what I thought, I simply replied with "they're alright". I can't handle that emotionless guitar wankery music anymore.

 

[IntoPhagist]

I don't think its emotionless..I think Arsis are a perfect example of that. Cosmogenesis while not being a classic..It's one of the better albums from 2009.

 

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

Arsis is pretty bad too.

 

[IntoPhagist]

I wouldn't say Arsis are bad they just have no emotion in the song writing...I liked "We are the Nightmare".

 

[Mr. Bungle]

Gory Blister is another awesome band. Just getting into them, I love it.

 

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

Their new album was a let down.
