Man, I used to be absolutely floored by Necrophobic. I listened to The Nocturnal Silence almost daily, not sure why it doesn't do much for me anymore.
Consuming Impulse is fucking awesome, definitely their best!
ALSO one of the best fuckin covers of all time:
It's close, but I prefer The Nocturnal Silence. It still sounds evil as hell.

It really does depend on whether you appreciate/like black or death metal more, and I tend to gravitate slightly towards the latter, so that's that. It's a fucking awesome album imo.
