Well if you've released two albums like Altars of Madness and Blessed are the Sick you don't have to be consistent, but yeah Immolation has managed to build up quite the impressive back catalogue.

It's pretty much how you interpret it. I'm not saying certain genres should be considered shit by everyone, but I've never heard any good music in those genres, and that's why I think they suck.
Immolation are quite bland.
Bullshit. Here in After and Failures for Gods are two of the most rich and intricate death metal albums of all time from a purely musical standpoint, and they're easily two of the most conceptually rewarding companion pieces in all of metal.

Harnessing Ruin and Shadows in the Light are their weakest records in my opinion. Everything else ranges from good to pretty darn good.

Absolutely. Immolation make some of the most interesting death metal for my ears.

What types of metal or heavy music do you like, splinter? I don't judge other people on their musical tastes. Unless they think all metal is crap and listen to flava flav...

I'm getting two things confused but Im pretty sure TCME is either Exhumed or Impaled.
One of those two bands is TCME, the other is Ghoul. Or something like that..
Ghoul is Impaled. TCME is suspected of having members from Exhumed.
Seriously though, If anyone dislikes this album give it another fucking listen.

Haven't heard Nostradamus, but I agree about Angel of Retribution. It's a worthy follow-up to Painkiller. Lacks some of the anthemic speed metal qualities, but makes up for it with some really tasteful leads, well-composed riffing, and general variety.
I'll say this on the topic of priest: I haven't dug too deeply, but from the 80s Priest stuff I've heard, I'll take the speed metal stuff over them any day. Faster, more aggressive, catchier, less formulaic, and generally more relevant.

Defenders of the Faith, British Steel and Screaming for Vengeance put their two latest albums to shame. Although, I agree that Angel of Retribution is a great album.

Post-80's Pantera aint bad. I think far too many people associate Pantera with the nu-metal bands that tried to copy Panteras sound, and failed. The crap bands of the 90's that tried to create something new out of something that already existed, created a style inspired by the complexity and progressivity of Pantera, lacking the talent to do so in an good way.
Now it's gone so far, that people who hear Pantera for the first time think to themselves "this sounds to nu-metal crap for me", not realizing tht Pantera did their thing very well in the early 90's, before nu-metal even existed.
Now go ahead and flame me. As a Pantera fan, I've grown used to it.

I like everything Pantera did. I still think Cowboys from Hell is one of the best 90s albums ever made and has one of the best vocal performances ever.
