Disastrous Murmur - Masked Killer

cheers ears

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Ok for some reason it thought it was The Ten Commandments that came out in '92. I dont care much for Retribution. Tried listening to it again today. Generic, pedestrian, mid-paced death metal to the max. No way in hell is does it get a pass over Monstrosity. Imperial Doom wipes the floor with that album.

 

[Bloopy]

1. Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction
2. Danzig - Danzig III: How the Gods Kill
3. Stratovarius - Twilight Time
4. The Nod - Thirsty Work
5. Vader - The Ultimate Incantation
6. W.A.S.P. - The Crimson Idol
7. Tankard - Stone Cold Sober
8. Girlschool - Girlschool
9. Armoured Angel - Stigmartyr
10. Flotsam and Jetsam - Cuatro

The Stratovarius album is a reissue of 'II', the first version of which may have come out very late '91 (So far Encyclopaedia Metallum has ignored '91 though so ).

Dope lists so far. Real talk though, y'all need some Demigod - Slumber of Sullen Eyes in your lives. What the fuck guys.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Slumber of Sullen Eyes would've likely won this without much competition a decade ago.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Never listened to any Mortuary Drape. Where do i start?

 

[CiG]

Debut EP.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

wow that was the fastest response ever. I literally hit post and got a notification a split second later. Will do man, thanks. Are they black/thrash or black/death?

 

[Phylactery]

Like most early black metal, I'd describe them as a mix of black, death and thrash metal but mainly black/death. I'd start with their debut All the Witches Dance or Tolling 13 Knell.

it came fourth in the all time death metal poll only a year ago.

edit: it has made quite a few lists already tbh. these lists are more diverse than in the other thread so it'll take less mentions to get in the top 10 i reckon.

 

[Baroque]

It's a good album, but I have to list what I listen to more often or used to listen to

 

[Slayed Necros]

Secret Sudaria has the most thrash influence, start there.

I dont really get a lot of death in their sound.

I hear that extra heavy greek style black metal mixed with thrash and/or traditional heavy metal depending on album.

(and maybe a pinch of italian occult doom vibes)

 

[ClichéUserName]

Avoid Buried in Time

 

[CiG]

I dont really get a lot of death in their sound.

You don't hear any Sarcofago/Sepultura in their sound?
