[TechnicalBarbarity]

who the fuck is elric of Omnibone?

the vocals mix on Panzerfaust is atrocious.

TBfM is the weakest of the 5 or so Deceased albums i own.

Nice to see some Ved Buens Ende love! Even though I placed it quite abit lower. Kind of suprised that it is lacking in so many lists, I think it should be quite well liked around here? Guess the competition is too great. Anyway, great weird atmospheric and unique sounding album. The outro is one of the best outros ever made btw, get the chills every time it comes on. x)

Elric of Melniboné, the guy who named himself for the Moorcock character, that we jokingly suspect to be Omni. Nocturno is great on Panzerfaust, the hell is wrong with his vocals?

oh that guy. Yeah i know, i was the first person to accuse her/him of being omni. Its pretty much the reasn i was banned that one time.
I clicked on the Omnibone name that NoCunts posted and it took me to a profile of a guy name Elric who has been here since 2001.

Yeah, cause Omniboné is a pun, therefore it doesn't register properly with the @ thing as I'm sure you've figured.

go away

They're way too high in the mix. Waaaayyy to high. This cant be the first time you're hearing someone say that about the album...

Good album, but the vocals being so up front almost ruins it though ... almost. And that's a rare complaint coming from me.

 

[no country for old wainds]

wut this tho?

meditative funeral doom thing, nothing like anything else i've heard and only just barely metal tbh. been a favourite for a long time but idk if many people here would take to it. hbb would hate it lol

Panzerfaust is pretty bland, but not as bland as Written in Waters.

i know you've criticised it in the past but you gave written in waters the same RYM rating as everything from 4 down on your list lol, is this you doing your usual thing of exaggerating your dislike for something you consider unjustly popular?

 

[Talos of Atmora]

3. Abigor - Nachthymnen

It's more a result of me not updating all of my ratings immediately, particularly for albums that literally put me to sleep (not joking, I've dozed off twice listening to it). I'd give it a weak 3/moderate 2.5 now. It's pretty and all, but basically a clone of Blind Idiot God and other 80s noise rock mixed with very bland black metal, with some enjoyable wanky drumming. Great sound, but the songs are totally forgettable.

 

[no country for old wainds]

did you ever check out that nastrond? you gave them a 10 in one of the mixtapes, the song in question was probably the best on it but still.

 

[RadicalThrasher]

not sure if @RadicalThrasher is playing

I'm out on this one buddy, just a spectator.

Far from the first time, likely not the last. I just don't personally find their placing in the mix too objectionable, and to the the extent that I do, it doesn't have that grand of an impression on the album's quality for me. Besides, the vocals themselves, irrespective of their mix levels, are fantastic.

Yeah I've listened to it a couple times and came to the same conclusion, but still remember enjoying the album quite a bit on the whole.

EDIT: Oh I just realized the relevance of the question, forgot that it was released in 1995 and didn't recognize the name when I read your initial post, lol. Funny thing is I could actually imagine it being #11 as well on my list, though I haven't really listened to it enough.

 

[no country for old wainds]

gonna end this tomorrow

 

[Baroque]

Nope, haven't heard of em before. Slavic tech-thrash? Count me in! I'll definitely check it out.

?

Love the vocals on Panzerfaust. Absolutely blunt and in your face. It gives the album a visceral and vicious dimension that distinguishes it from the abstractionism of Transilvanian Hunger.
