What's their best release of the current shit they're doing?

They're all pretty bad ass, but if i had to pick one i'd go with FOAD.

 

[The Ozzman]

Anyone know if this is any good?

Screams pure gimmick trying to do what that goregrind band did years ago.

This fucking rules. Cheers!

 

[Evil Dead]

That's what I meant. Retro metal bands are bands who have a gimmick of recapturing certain sounds. Darkthrone aren't old school metal, they're a poor imitation of it.

Jusy fyi Darkthrone was formed in the mid 80's..

Just finished listening to All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us by Architects, what does anyone else think? I've been listening to Architects since the Hollow Crown days... they originated right round the corner where I lived from my parents so it was surreal to bump into them on the train and in Sainsbury's from time to time considering their one of my all time favourites.

I love the album, but I still don't think AOGHAU tops Hollow Crown. The album creates a bleak atmosphere with it's lyrics but the ambience it produces is excellent. Whilst I appreciate that this is their 4th album since HC and the band has progressed hugely... I just miss the technical days.

Is the new Death Angel good?

 

[CiG]

As a Swedish-style death metal outfit in '86, so they were barely apart of the old school 80's metal scene at large. They only began releasing material in '88 with their demo tapes and didn't release their first full album until '91.

Swedish-style? I seem to remember Land Of Frost as being anything other than that.

 

[CiG]

I read that they wanted to change their sound because death metal was seen as being very trendy, but not necessarily because they thought they would sound the same as many other death metal bands.
I think it's evident that they actually had quite a unique sound within the death metal realm and that was further demonstrated if you listen to the Goatlord recordings.

Soulside Journey is one of the best death metal records ever created in my opinion, you can hear a lot of Autopsy in it.

 

[EspaDa]

Soulside Journey is good but becomes boring after 5, 6 songs.

 

[CiG]

"Grave With A View" (track 7) is probably one of my favourite tracks off the album, that said I do think the first half of the record is the best half. It might be more perfect a release if they replaced "Accumulation Of Generalization" with "Grave With A View" and turned it into an EP by chopping it in half.

I don't get bored halfway through or anything though. Love every bit of that album.

 

[EspaDa]

When it comes to Darkthrone, I don't get bored listening to Transilvanian Hunger, F.O.A.D. and A Blaze in the Northern Sky. Once upon a time I tried listening to Sardonic Wrath and it made me fucking tired.

 

[CiG]

A Blaze in the Northern Sky.

This one is especially true for me. God I love that album, probably their best.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

 

[Krow]

That Cough album is some drugged out nasty sludge doom.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

I loved Ritual Abuse for its bounciness but this is toight.

 

[EspaDa]

New Gojira leaked. It started off well, but now I'm a bit bored by the title track which sounds forced and too proggy for me to bear.

 

[SweptbackFlame]

Holy shit I don't know if you guys listen to ADX but their new album Non Serviam is fucking amazing.
