I'm in a bit of a dillema right now

[white shoe]

I want to buy a CD but I have no clue what to get. I was thinking of Strapping Young Lad their last one but then had second thoughts. Also Anathema jumped to mind and some others. What would you guys suggest on getting that came out perhaps 2003 or something that's newer.

The Latest SYL is definitly worth it. A short album, but full of so much fuckin power it's worth it

 

[King-King]

u should get:

Into Eternity - Buried in Oblivion
The Old Dead Tree - The Nameless Disease

 

[Funeral Portrait]

Origin - Informis Infinatis Inhumanitas

 

[white shoe]

thanks for your responses guys. i'll check them all out

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Psycroptic - Scepter of the Ancients > SYL

The Prophecy - Ashes > Anathema

Just two off the top of my head.

 

[the_drip]

fuck all that shit. get;
Provenance "Still at Arms Length" it is fuckin awesome.

SYL is good too...I love that shit as well.

 

[Judas Pissed]

It's blasphemy to say that that Psycroptic cd is better than SYL.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I would take any Unique Leader release over SYL. I had thought about adding a few more quick things that I think are better than SYL so now I'll just add one more.

Anata - Under A Stone With No Inscription

This thread has reminded me that I need to sell my SYL albums.

Psycroptic are a brilliant band... I'd reccomend them.
Others I suggest (if you dont already own them):

Agalloch - The Mantle
Zyklon - Aeon
Naglfar - Sheol

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

Yeah like you (the thread starter) said I'd suggest getting Anathema - A Natural Disaster.
Kamelot - Epica is a good buy if you like power metal that isn't just a taka-taka-taka 60-minute bass drum fest.
You should check out Dredg - El Cielo while you're at it too.

 

[Demonspell]

Get Anathema's Judgement and/or Alternative 4. And I second whoever said Into Eternity...that album destroys.

 

[white shoe]

Well I already have Agalloch - The Mantle and Kamelot - Epica from which both are fantastic in their own way. Well I've written names down on a paper so I'll be going out soon to check this shit out and I just hope I don't buy too many cd's now


Edit: I've just listened to the mp3 sample from Into Eternity and I must say I like it a lot and the singer somehow reminds me of Helloween's a while ago :Spin:

 

[white shoe]

Well I got myself Into Eternity - Buried in Oblivion and I must say I'm loving it. The other ones I couldn't find or didn't like as much

 

[Angelus]

Naglfar - Sheol

That one is great, but other than that, why don't you pick up Satyricons Volcano or Dimmu Borgirs Death Cult Armageddon... That is if you like Black Metal.

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

You MUST get Nightingale - Alive Again. (!)

Did you find El Cielo? That's some really good rock/hard rock if you ask me.

 

[cityofthemoon666]

get Korn- Take A Look In The Mirror,
i hear Head and Munky do 7-string Sweeps, and the album is basically twin guitar harmonies with david doing blast beats and Jon Davis is in corpsepaint

 

[cityofthemoon666]

nah seriously get SYL or nightingale
