GMD Poll: The Chasm's Discography Ranked

[TechnicalBarbarity]

praising a sloppy as fuck ADD album like Deathcult and referring to Farseeing as "unfocused" is about as ridiculous as it gets.

and absolutely nothing about the musicianship on deathcult is "tight".

 

[The Ozzman]

But you didnt, moron. Dont take credit for my doings. What you did do is make yourself look like a complete fool by referring to one of the most ball-less and wannabe "sophisticated metalz" bands as knuckle dragger music. Not surprised coming from you though tbh

Back to peak TB levels I see

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

moar like...

 

[Talos of Atmora]

I'd call The Spell and Farseeing better constructed and generally more eventful than Deathcult, which really comes off as a transitional release through and through despite having some good tracks which make it worth hearing.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

I also think Procession to the Infraworld is a HUGE step up from Deathcult.

 

[CiG]

missed this ninja edit. But you would have to be a full on idiot to think that gif/response implied anything about your age.

You've also been here longer than me, but hey if you want to be Michael Scott I won't argue that.

I also think Procession to the Infraworld is a HUGE step up from Deathcult.

That's also when the band started doing sick lead playing.

 

[no country for old wainds]

deathcult has more forward momentum and less predictability than the later stuff. way more intuitive and less calculated, which is true of most metal bands’ early work tbh and the main reason it tends to be superior. thing is just too arcane and wild for you sub-mensa level metalheads, only the elite can comprehend.

i mean i adore procession too but it’s basically a more simplistic streamlined version of deathcult for noobs

 

[CiG]

Missed this.

I have to know what the fuck that's from.

 

[challenge_everything]

I've never been able to get my hands on Procession to the Infraworld, hard copy or digital. For some reason it's the only album not available on their bandcamp page?

 

[The Ozzman]

I'll sell you my digital copy of it. 40 bucks and it's yours.

Done. Which Nigerian bank account should I transfer my money to?

 

[The Ozzman]

Lmao wow that auto corrected to digital when I meant digipak. Unintentional cheekiness there.

 

[challenge_everything]

Everyone just default assumes you're being a prick

Gotta admit it's been an absolute pleasure getting into Chasm thus far. Will post a list eventually.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Listened to Procreation of the Inner Temple, which was better than I thought it would be though inconsistent. Tracks 3 through 5 had basically all the positive traits of their later material with the added bonus of clearer recording. Confessions and a Strange Anxiety might become a favorite of theirs for me. Some of it was kinda sadsack meloshit though. Halfway through From the Lost Years... and this seems like a massive step down, nothing offensive so far but it's really bland, lacks their trademark aspiring technicality and wastes a lot of time on beat-counting riffs and basic chord progressions that sound like post-inspiration Steve Harris.

 

[Phylactery]

Listen to The Spell... already. You gave a song from it a 9/10 in the mixtape game and it’s probably the one you have the most chance of liking I reckon.

Also interested in your thoughts on Manifest My Invervention from that one - are the riffs it features the sort of riffs you enjoy mainly.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I haven't heard a Chasm album that wasn't inconsistent as fuck so me loving one song doesn't prove much. I gave Apocalypse a 9/10 as well. I plan on completing the discography anyways.

We will also be needing an autistic breakdown and in-depth track by track review of every album.
