bought 'em all

 

[Ellestin]

this list makes no mention of Sólstafir it has less credibility than an amoeba reviewing life insurance

 

[lurch70]

Hate Eternal and Brutal Truth in the Top 10? ... yabadabadoo.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I have 5 of those...
Inquisition
Absu
Obscura
Autopsy
Exhumed

 

[Reign in Acai]

Listening to Disma - Towards the Megalith, this is a solid tip of the cap to OSDM. Surprise surprise, Profound Lore once again.

 

[Vittra]

Inquisition is 2010.

Only albums I can heartily approve. Need to check out Negative Plane's latest release further. This list needs Solstafir and NHOR (Which Erik reco'd). I haven't been arsed to check out many new releases. Still stock in the days of yore, still praising Valhalla, Brooklyn Vegan can fuck off. [/Speaking in fragments]

TOMBS is fucking awesome guys ... not sure about #1 ... but they are just fucking spot on heavy as fuck.

they are playing a saturday matinee here this weekend which I will miss.

[ChaosLee]

I never understand why Deceased gets ignored whenever they put out an album which is usually much better than 90 percent of albums on these lists.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

trap them & rwake

 

[einride]

a poopy list


i did dl tombs but ehhhh it's just really (really!) overcompressed bore core with generic bm riffs thrown in for metal cred

 

[dorian gray]

oh, Erik

 

[einride]

i hate to whine about production/sound quality issues a lot but listen to the fucking cymbals in this shit, just intermittent on/off washes of white noise

the whole album sounds incredibly bad

 

[einride]

heres the ones ive heard


1. Tombs - Path of Totality BAD
2. Opeth- Heritage BAD
4. In Solitude - The World. The Flesh. The Devil. PRETTY BAD
7. YOB - Atma PRETTY GOOD

12. Primordial - Redemption at the Puritan's Hand PRETTY GOOD
20. Subrosa - No Help for the Mighty Ones PRETTY GOOD

I like these song samples for the top 25 ... ALL rags should do that.

 

[lurch70]

[Reign in Acai]

The new Primordial kicks ass, don't know why this album didn't go over well.
