Nominate Albums for forthcoming Best of 2010-2020 Tourney

[J.]

Im having trouble between Hesychast and Leprous.

Hesychast reminds me of Batushka, which is a positive and it seems fairly fresh, and is def my thang. Leprous is not my thing, gives me Devin Townsend vibes, and as soon as I start rolling my eyes, they hit me with rough vocals or a killer hard hitting riff.

So its a battle of more of the same thing I like or something I usually dont like but enjoy a lot.. I know I make no sense

 

[einride]

both ics vortex's'z vocals and borknagar in general is growin on me tbh

here's a list of my current yet undecided pairings:

borknagar/ludicra
subrosa/havukruunu (havukruunu is also better than i gave em credit for. i realized this when i saw their band photo on metal-archives)
blut aus nord/ruins of beverast (leaning heavily ruins tho)
zebulon pike/ash borer (ima be real, i don't like either of these. zebulon pike is creative but i kind of hate their music. ash borer is zzzzzz)
spectral lore/cultes des ghoules
eternal champion/pathology (a bad example of a genre i like vs a good example of a genre i don't care for)
cultes des ghoules/wytch hazel (stay tuned for the final exciting battle of the ancient jealous and wrathful hebrew thunder god vs his zany sidekick deus in excelsis satanas infernali)

 

[einride]

Welp, finally found an album I hate. Im only listening to this shit once AND NEVER AGAIN!



#Mystery Post

this has got to be either anathema or zebulon pike

 

[J.]

He likes the Anathema, iirc

oh right, he's one of those

zebulon pike/ash borer (ima be real, i don't like either of these. zebulon pike is creative but i kind of hate their music. ash borer is zzzzzz)

Same boat. I like jam stuff sometimes, but I'm not sure about ZP. But AB, DSO, BAN are all just blah.

eternal champion/pathology (a bad example of a genre i like vs a good example of a genre i don't care for)

Ive got to go EC. That Pathology isnt my thang at all.

cultes des ghoules/wytch hazel (stay tuned for the final exciting battle of the ancient jealous and wrathful hebrew thunder god vs his zany sidekick deus in excelsis satanas infernali)

I just finished these two at work. Im actually going with CDG. Their other album in the tourney is unbearable. But I dont like Wytch Hazel. Sorry, but I find it incredibly annoying. I love stuff like Pagan Altar and Burning Saviours, but the lyrics annoyed me, and after 15 minutes it all started sounding the same. I honestly thought I had started the album over by mistake.

Spectral Lore sounds exactly like its album cover and I want to live there.

To follow up on my thoughts about the vocal performance on "The Archaic Course", I think its just more tolerable in general because he's screaming and not singing for the majority of the album. His screams have always been great.

Nay, I said I dig the Fagthema. Im a big puss when it comes to that band.

Zebulon Pike didnt catch me, but I havent given them a serious listen YET.

All of Ken's shit is falling flat with me, BUT I dont hate it, and I love that this man exists and brings these albums to light. All he needs is a 10% win ratio with me. I'll always listen to his shit with glee (non-jazz).

The album I ape grimaced towards was "Defeated Sanity's."

I cant stand gurgle gurgle bullshit unless im on XNXX.Com. This album sound like a scene from "Swallowed."


Currently trying to decide between Inquisition v MGLA. Thought it was going to be easy, but this MGLA caught me unawares atm. Far better mood for it than when I listened to over a week ago.

Most enjoyable listen thus far was Macabre Omen. Its even better than I remember.

@Pathology vox

This isnt bad when theyre just riffing and not sounding like a flushed toilet.

 

[Reign in Acai]

I'll take a backed up toilet over this Borknagar album. This is the gayest shit ive heard. I dont think I can finish this and im 10 minutes in.

Where the pine trees meet the sea
Where the stormy sky will sing for me
The place i wanna be
Up north

(Sung like an absolute faggot)

Edit-So I hit pause, threw on The Olden Domain just to cleanse my pallet and put this band in a good light with my sensibilities once more. This slays, as always. "Its not you ICS VorAss, its me." Nah it actually is him, this dude is a bum.

 

[Krilons Resa]

J. Clearly doesn’t like his subgenres mixed. Purist fucker.

Doesn't bode well for Hubardo

Odd isnt it? I dont mind a dude singing like a queer if hes pining for some poon. When hes pining for some pine is where I draw the line.


(Anyhow, I hit play again. As im a man of my word and will listen to EVERY album in this tourney for better or worse.)This shit must be horrific beyond words I can lay forth. MGLA hit a triple with me this morn. Im in a splendid ass mood. That was when my balls were still dangling between my legs. I dont know if its the apple cider vinegar, or this ERT (Estrogen Replacement Therapy) im experiencing with ICS (Irritable Cuck Singing) sending me into a Vortex where I wish I were fucking deaf like those poor birds saluting the toucan in the other thread. I got a lump in my throat, I think my thyroid fucking stopped.

I agree the lyrics are pretty embarrassing but I really enjoy that song, catchy as fuck, and really enjoy his vocals. Rest of the album doesn't really do much for me, and same goes for Borknagar in general.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Dont get me wrong, I love forest worship. Nothing within the album makes me want to grab a hatchet and hack a tree, light a campfire, march through timbers, etc.

If anything, it makes me want to research TRT far sooner than my 50s. Im going to need bi-monthly injections of test after this one. Bless all your hearts though, I mean not what I say too harshly. Youre all great folk.
