[TechnicalBarbarity]

lol..strange I have the Cd on Stigmartyr Records and it says definitly 1992 on the booklet notes but ok.

hmmm, which one of these is that one?

https://www.discogs.com/Aspid-Extravasation/release/3083495

the only booklet notes that im seeing are the ones that say "recorded in May 92". The LP for the original pressing(i think)...

 

[I-TEND-TO-DIE]

^ exactly this the australian version from 2007. I don't know I thought it was 1992 kind of weird..

 

[Baroque]

It "sounds" more 1992, yet metallum and rym say 1993, but whatever you all decide, or how about no country/phylactery/whoever is running this

[EDIT] In the 1992 thread it was ruled to be 1993, no one voted for it in 1992 because of that decision, so it should stay here

[Phylactery]

Yeah, definitely include it here, even if it was released in 1992, because it was ruled out for that year.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

this is actually pretty simple guys, the album was not released in 1992.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I had no idea you rated this so highly. Is this a recent thing?

No, I've pretty much always loved it, Textures aside (which is still decent but an obvious weak link imo). Putting aside everything else about the album, and it's unique in a lot of ways, it's still full of great tech-thrashy riffing.

3 first place votes for Aspid already. What a fucking joke.

tbh I'll admit that it's about as in-crowd as a 90s thrash metal album can be, but it's still blatantly excellent.

I think Textures ended up my favourite track simply due to the no-vocoder factor. I wish they’d re-release the album with all vocoder removed. The instrumentation is insane.

3. Catacomb - In The Maze of Kadath

Forgot about this! Great little EP.

10. Merciless - Unbound

I'm fairly certain this was 1994.

I'm going to take a guess and go with a very severe case of Pygalgia.

 

[Bloopy]

Oddly thin year for me, might have to discover some stuff. But I'll be pleased when the RNG gods throw up '80 and '82.

RAPED BY THE PRODUCTION. BAG OF POTATO CHIPS GUITAR TONE.

I literally used a bag of potato chips on my noise album. I guess I can hear some similarities!

 

[I-TEND-TO-DIE]

I'm fairly certain this was 1994.

ooops.. sorry


1. Benediction - Transcend the Rubicon
2. Burial - Relinquished Souls

5. Coroner - Grin
6. Dead Head - Dream Deceiver
7. Death - Individual Thought Patterns

9. Hypocrisy - Osculum Obscenum
10. Obliveon - Nemesis

I think this list is correct now. Nemesis is such a criminal underrated masterpiece.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i assume that list is in alphabetical rather than preferential order
