Greatest Swedish death metal yet...

[NAD]

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

I'm familiar with Hypocrisy, yes.

 

[Erik]

I'm familiar with Hypocrisy, yes.

But obviously not with At the Gates.

 

[NAD]

But obviously not with Edge of Sanity.

Damn I guess you're right... they are up there as well.

 

[Erik]

"The Red in the Sky is Ours" crushes everything Edge of Sanity ever did into small, small, subatomic particles.

 

[NAD]

Nah. It puts up a valiant fight though, right before the KING WITH HER CLEAR BLUE EYES devours it.

Anywho, Terminal Spirit Disease > other AtG

 

[NAD]

Listening to this Anata right now, tis decent. Don't care much for the snare drum or vocals, but the guitar work is pretty okay. Yeah I'll need to give this one a few solid spins before year end, pretty good stuff.

 

[speed]

This is getting pathetic, but I am agreeing with Erik again; At the Gates' first three albums are just so original, musically interesting, and frankly still punishing, that I must accept them as the best swedish DM band, with Entombed a close second.

 

[Papa Josh]

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

.

I suppose I should've called this thread... which was done in 2003, Best Swedish Death metal by a band that doesn't suck nowadays!!!

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Does this changes the great-ness of the first 2 albums?

 

[IOfTheStorm]

And their albums now totally slay

 

[Papa Josh]

No, but it would change my opinion of your opinion. :Smug:

Inferno sucked, but Morning Star was good.

 

[Papa Josh]

Inferno sucked, but Morning Star was good.

agreed. and Morning Star was the 1st good album from them in a very long time.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

since the one before Morning Star - "Uprising"

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Also i dont understand how someone who liked "Morning Star", disliked "Inferno". "Inferno" is in the same vein of "Morning Star", just not as good as "Morning Star" (and above mediocre for sure)

 

[speed]

Exactly I of the Storm, they used a diluted version of Morning Star in Inferno, with inferior songwriting, riffs, and lyrics. Thus, with a total lack of originality and the aforementioned medicre repitition of a previous album, Inferno is awful.

 

[Papa Josh]

since the one before Morning Star - "Uprising"

only good song on that album was the Dead Horse cover, whcih is still inferior to the original.

Why would I want to listen to inferior shit if I can listen to what was good in the first place? That's what they should've called Inferno... Inferior.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Because it is NOT BAD AT ALL. It is very good.

 

[Papa Josh]

Because it is NOT BAD AT ALL. It is very good.

Tell you what, while you sit there spanking your monkey to Inferno, I'll sit back and listen to Left Hand Path, or better yet, I'll grab a better band altogether.. like Anata.
