Greatest Swedish death metal yet...

[Papa Josh]

I'm wondering how many of you are familiar with what may be Sweden's greatest death metal band yet, ANATA.

I'm sure Erik's probably heard 'em or at least of them. They are death, yet they thrash!!!!!

Their latest, "Under A Stone With No Inscription" is fucking-A-incredible!!

Luckily, I went and looked at the Wicked World/Earache website as I almost included it in my Top 25 of 2003 which would've been a bitch. It's not being released until January of 2004, so it looks like I'll have a forerunner for the Top spot next year already!

damn ANOTHER band i have to check out!

 

[Papa Josh]

I'd venture to say that with Akercocke, Morbid Angel, Anata, Decapitated, Hate Eternal, The Chasm and Deicide all on their roster, Wicked World/Earache has some of the upper echelons of the elite at this time.

Once again a label to watch out for.

I'm a big fan of Anata. The new one is great. I wouldn't call them Sweden's best death metal band though, not with bands like Paganizer and Runemagick out there. But that's just me...

Fair enough.

How many people from this forum have heard this album to date? I urge anyone who hasn't to look into it before the year comes to a close. Really great stuff and it has been one of the few albums to linger in my Top 5 basically the whole year.

Hey, I've heard this. but when... and in what capacity?

 

[matt99_crew]

I've heard it. Good stuff for sure.

 

[Erik]

I should hear it, really.

 

[Ayeka]

I heard of Anata...in Terrorizer about three and a half years ago

GRAVE > all!!!!

 

[GONETribalchemy]

GRAVE > all!!!! better twice than not at all ... back as this f*** board perhaps will work one day.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Anata are really good. I don't listen to much DM but they do catch my ear.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

I suppose you guys never heard of an album called "Clandestine"?

 

[Erik]

Yeah, it's that album that's like a weaker follow-up to "Left Hand Path", innit

 

[IOfTheStorm]

I think that both albums are masterpieces, but "Clandestine" is a little bit more masterpiece.

 

[Erik]

I used to think the same, but I now place "Clandestine" a little bit under "Left Hand Path", mostly because the latter feels more "genuine", in a way that I can't really describe. It also has superior vocals.

 

[Henrik Main]

The Greatest Swedish Death Metal Record Ever (C) award goes to either Insision's "Revealed And Worshipped" or Entombed's "Left Hand Path". Anata isn't all that.

Bah
