Black Metal.

[Cythraul]

Yeah, I don't see what's wrong with it either.

I like the cover of the Absu album, but the Morbid Angel cover is legitimately disgusting and ugly.

I like the cover of the Absu album, but the Morbid Angel cover is legitimately disgusting and ugly.

I think it was meant for shock value, to try to convey what Domination represents.

 

[Omni]

There's no shock value. It's just really ugly.

 

[MasterOLightning]

It's probably the worst album cover I can think of. You excuse other bands for not having the resources to do something nice, but MA had a massive budget and still put together hideous artwork.

 

[Onder]

I actually like the way it's hideous.

 

[Cromulent]

I just bought Dictius Te Necare by Bethlehem on iTunes. What an amazing album!

This is a pretty awesome band from France. It's refreshing to hear music like this.

For Cyth:

Since you are a huge Absu fan: What do you think is their best work?

IMO, it goes like this: Tara > In the Eyes of Ioldanach > Barathrum V.I.T.R.I.O.L. > everything else

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Tara is perfect. one of my favorite albums drum wise.

oh, and does the new Absu cover not say "Absu" on it? I always figured that they just havent released the actual cover. guess im wrong

 

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

None of their covers were ever supposed to have the Absu logo on them, but most of the time, labels made them put it there. Fun fact.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

wierd. The new one seems too open.

 

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

It has a dragon

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I think the green almost ruins it. Verwimp is a badass though

 

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

The concept of the album has a lot to do with sorcery and magic and summoning and shit, I think green is quite good for that.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

bah. you suck.
I just want the damn album. gotta save some money first

 

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

I want it too; Candlelight needs to get my package to me asap.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

relapse had the tshirt/cd package, but last I checked it was out of stock.

 

[divine_torture]

It's a fantastic album. So beautiful yet so, so agressive.
