[Krow]

Only because she asked.

 

[Episteme]

I remember reading that and I laughed so hard I had sprite coming of my nose.

Lately I've been liking Deicide a lot more than I used to. They were only in my top ten on last.fm before because I would always play the song Once Upon the Cross just hear the funny beginning, but now I've legitimately been listening to that whole album a lot, I've really been digging it.

 

[Anticitizen One]

When I was in my teens, during the mid '90s, Legion and Once Upon the Cross were among the albums I listened to the most, for sure. I'm not so big on Deicide these days, but once in a while I will put those on and thoroughly enjoy them.

Shit, now I have "When Satan Rules His World" in my head. Might have to pop that in tonight.

 

[wandering_taco]

Yeah dude, best song on the album imo, followed by the title track.

 

[rms]

whens that nirvana relapse pre order supposed to ship again?

 

[The Ozzman]

So, whenever I have to index documents at work, I throw on some music. The past few days, I have decided to re-spin both Dawn of Possession and Onward to Golgotha. DoP is still kinda meh (but better this time around), but OtG is fucking WAY better than I remember

OUTC is probably the best Deicide album imo

 

[Mort Divine]

Anyone here familiar with Tenebrarum?

Really good stuff, generally mid-paced with some great atmospheric keyboard usage.

I would say it's a tie between that or the first one. Depends on my mood. But I really, really like "Behind The Light Thou Shall Rise" and "To Be Dead". Alot.

I remember seeing this band on Enucleation a while ago and waiting for their MCD to come out. I guess I must have missed it. The songs sound great though. Finnish death metal is so fucking good.

 

[Evil?]

I really dig that Ascended stuff too! I liked it enough to order the MCD just now after checking the myspace. I was gonna order the demo tape too, but the label selling it is overseas and they wanted me to send cash/money order. No paypal or anything. wtf.

Every time I listen to Morbid Angel's Covenant, I think it is pretty much the best death metal album, with the best death metal sound, ever. Altars of Madness is an indisputable classic, yes, and Blessed are the Sick is a great album, but for me Covenant defines death metal and its brutality, dissonance, occult atmosphere, etc. Every aspect of the album is perfectly honed. There are certainly rawer, more influential albums, albums more important to the origins of death metal, but to this day I think of Covenant as the standard which, for my tastes, all death metal must aspire to meet.

 

[Blind Guardian]

They sure got it right with the muddy production, it fits the fevery riffs so well.

I too hold Covenant in pretty high regards. Don't know if I'd go as far as you, but it's for sure a well toned album. I get the sense that Morbid Angel knew exactly what they wanted for this album and just, as you said, perfectly honed in on it. Vincent sounds as vicious as ever, Pete has never had a better sounding kit, and Trey...was just being Trey.

 

[Koude Haat]

The new Arghoslent split is excellent. I got my copy in the mail today... This band does not disappoint.

 

[Mort Divine]

Really liking the shit out of Cruciamentum's new demo Convocation of Crawling Chaos
