Death Metal

[Eligos]

Lykathea Aflame is a bit difficult to get into. What's a good starting point for them?

Elvenefris is their only work.

 

[Eligos]

Well, poo. Guess I'll have to re-listen a few times before I "get it".

 

[Koude Haat]

Incantation is okay, but there are better death metal bands out there.

There aren't many death metal bands better than Incantation.

Suffocation
Terrorizer
Obituary

I find Incantation and Immolation to be average

 

[General Zaroff]

I don't get the hype surrounding Incantation. Onward To Golgotha really doesn't do anything for me.

 

[The Ozzman]

Same goes for Dawn of Possession for me

 

[wandering_taco]

Onward to Golgatha is decent, I find it gets boring, though.

 

[Krow]

I don't get the hype surrounding Incantation. Onward To Golgotha really doesn't do anything for me.

I dont like OtG myself... Mortal Throne of Nazarene and Diabolical Conquest, I really like, though.

yeah...meh.

 

[The Ozzman]

I'll listen to those two albums again sometime this week, but I doubt my opinion will change

 

[no country for old wainds]

dawn of possession is just ubersolid rather than amazing i guess. best immolation almost definitely.

i like mortal throne best from incantation, i'd put otg ahead of diabolical conquest though.

 

[Episteme]

I prefer Here in After to Dawn of Possession.

Diabolical Conquest I feel is probably the better Incantation record.

 

[Eligos]

So I gave Lykathea Aflame my full attention and you guys are right, once you get past the surface, Elvenefris is fucking great.

On the Way Home has to be my favorite song on the album.

 

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

It's among mine too, though other favorites would include Land Where Sympathy Is Air (possible best album opener of all time) and Bringer of Elvenefris Flame.

 

[Eligos]

Bringer of Elvenefris Flame was another one I thoroughly enjoyed.

Just missed the discussion on Incantation and Immolation?

I only really like two albums by Immolation...Dawn of Possession and Failures for Gods (their most underrated and easily my favorite). I've only heard Here in After once, but it seemed like the production was shittier than on DoP or FfG, and I found it definitely got in the way. Close to a World Below is just...meh. The guitars are great, but nothing on that album really sticks with me. Unholy Cult is good, but I don't like the production on that album. Their last two albums don't do much for me, though I have also only heard those two once. Haven't heard Hope and Horror, though I plan to.

Incantation is the superior of the two bands. Diabolical Conquest just edges out Onward to Golgotha as my personal favorite, followed by Mortal Throne of Nazarene. The Infernal Storm and Blasphemy were a weak part in the bands history (though the cover of Hell Awaits on the Blasphemy album is flawless). Decimate Christendom and Primordial Domination are superior to the prior two albums, but aren't quite of the caliber of their first three. But I like how they changed their sound on those albums, although the drummer's tapping sound tends to annoy me a little bit.

 

[Karmablade]

Gorguts new material should be interesting.

 

[Eligos]

I'm crossing my fingers about it. Just like I am about Dawn's new material.

 

[divine_torture]

I wouldn't.
