Also I know Butt won't agree but the Deathhammer and Division Speed albums from 2015 were the highlights for me.

Yeah the EP doesn't really have any weak points while Walls of Jericho has a couple, but they're pretty much equals when you factor in the different formats.

While I'd say that I like any track on their EP better than "Gorgar" and "Reptile" (which are my least favourite tracks on "Walls of Jericho"), the EP only contains one of my overall favourite Helloween-songs, namely "Victim of Fate", whereas "Walls of Jericho" contains three of them ("Ride the Sky", "Phantoms of Death" and "How Many Tears"). An EP with these four songs would get a 10/10-rating from me.

I’ll probably get lynched for this, but Bolt Thrower seem to be a bit overrated on this forum. They’re a consistently good band, which is rare in death metal but I rarely find them to be top tier outside Realm of Chaos. Even then, I wouldn’t have that in my top 20 for death metal.

How? It's by no means clear that Bolt Thrower is somehow worse as they actually have a discography with more significant releases while Sacramentum only has Far Away From the Sun to their name as a "classic" release.

how are Bolt Thrower in-crowd? Every single person on this planet likes them.
I need to go back and rel-listen to The Coming of Chaos, which for some reason i have at 4.5 on RYM. But that's probably form like 6 years ago.

He never said that. He said that FaFtS is better than anything Bolt Thrower released. He never mentioned anything about which band is better on the whole.
I'd also add Finis Malorum to Sacramentum's "classic" releases. Sure it's only an EP, but it's really fucking good. Some people also like their later releases. I'm not much of a fan as I don't think the super aggressive sound really suits them and they're both much more standard than what they were doing previously.
Never really got the Obsequiae hype! Listened a few times and just don't really hear anything special.
I'm still waiting for the official in-crowd test from BurgerBoy. Should be fun!

Isn't Bolt Thrower universally liked though?
edit: i see @TechnicalBarbarity is already on the scene.

Your opinion only further justifies mine.
Fuck, I’m struggling to think of a Bolt Thrower album that FaFTS is actually better than.

Never said Bolt Thrower was bad, just that FaFtS is better than anything BT has done. Bolt Thrower is obviously the better band overall.
