Death Metal

[Phylactery]

They'll probably go back to some really boring sound like on Heretic I think. Illud... Was obviously a worse album but at least it was entertainingly bad, Heretic was just dull.

 

[EchoForever]

everything after dominations was dull, well played and executed, just not interesting

illud was something else
something entirely else

 

[Sirjack]

like shizenhousen....MA died after Domination imo and that's not even a good album. IMO and l believe of the majority of old school MA fans, they didnt do shite after Covenant. A band that was so fucking brutal and awesome and deserves their place in Godly metal history tho.

 

[Phylactery]

Formulas Fatal to the Flesh is better than Domination and has some great songs on it. Dunno how you can call "Invocation of the Continual One" dull.

 

[ProphetofHatred]

How is gateways to annihilation dull as well?

 

[The Ozzman]

All Tucker era albums are better than Domination. That's a no brainer.

 

[The Ozzman]

Killer DM release. Featuring Kyle Severn from Incantation. I was surprised by this album because Ash Thomas was on the Surgkill release and that was kinda meh.

What would you guys say are the best 5 - 10 death metal albums from Norway? Randomly thought of this the other day, just curious what some of you think.

 

[Phylactery]

Probably forgetting some and this isn't a top 5, but off the top of my head some good ones are:

Darkthrone - Soulside Journey, Goatlord
Molested - Blod-draum
Cadaver - In Pains
Fester - Winter of Sin
Obliteration - Black Death Horizon

Molested - Blod-draum
Cadaver - In Pains
Fester - Winter of Sin
Obliteration - Black Death Horizon

this is a really good list

I've actually never heard of Fester or Obliteration. I'll check these out. many thanks

 

[no country for old wainds]

that'd be p much my exact list, minus fester who i'm not big on (plus STORMVOLD if we're including EPs). it's not a deep pool. SOULSIDE JOURNEY is tops for me.

 

[Phylactery]

I haven't listened to that Fester album in years so my opinion might have changed but I do remember enjoying it.

'Silly' vocals aside, I prefer Goatlord to Soulside Journey I think.

I'd have thought Blod-draum might be your favourite, because as Yerfdaug mentioned in another thread, it gives off some early ATGs vibes at points.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

The only albums mentioned yet that I own are Blod-draum and Soulside Journey so I guess that I should check out these other bands.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i prefer the EP to BLOD DRAUM actually. or did last time i heard them.

i'm surprised you don't know cadaver elric, that album's one of a kind. not that i'm a huge fan or anything but it's certainly notable.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Yeah, I need to hear that album.

Recorded an old school Katatonia cover

Not a candidate for best by any means but some great newer bands are Gouge (very important newer band imo), Mion's Hill, Diskord, Mabuse and Reptilian, plus these guys who released a totally primitive death metal gem last year that seemed to go under the radar.

Buzzsaw Swedeath worship with some Massive Killing Capacity melodicism.
