God Macabre 'the winterlong' is a death metal masterpiece. For the person that asked for death metal buy this right now.

Relapse re-released the album giving it a remastered job plus a bonus demo. Relapse did a really professional job with this reissue. Possibly Tomas Skogsberg's best swedish death metal recording. The guitars are so cool sounding you need to hear it for that alone. One of the most unique original atmosperic moving death metal. Someone might think the cd only being 27 minutes and simple is a bad thing but in this case the band created one of the most tasteful affective early 90's death metal album. God Macabre could have released a few amazing albums imo. I think relapse actually did sign the band after the winterlong but they disbaned or something(could be wrong). Getting signed to relapse in the early 90's is pretty significant for some oldschool band out of sweden. I can think of some other bands that could have done some more really neat recordings.

The Winterlong is indeed killer. 27mins ftw.

i found the winterlong to be mediocre.

Asphyx is old school done right.

Asphyx is old school done right.

On what grounds? What didn't you like?

 

[J.]

dunno honestly. there wasn't really anything wrong with it, just nothing inherently right

but i've never dug a lot of the old school vanguard like entombed, unleashed...dismember and grave are OK.

asphyx, morbid angle, autopsy, necrophobic, old hypocrisy, carcass, bolt thrower get a thumbs up.

 

[no country for old wainds]

god macabre > asphyx

 

[swizzlenuts]

J. relisten to it... it's great... the atmosphere with the melodic guitar leads just owns about everyother old school death metal band.

god macabre > asphyx

The Rack is easily better than just about every other European old school death metal album. Really.

Granted, I can't say that Asphyx's albums after the phenomenal self-titled record are really worth owning. But The Rack, Crush the Cenotaph, Last One on Earth, and s/t are essential for that particular sound.

Well, I don't know about specific songs, but check out most of the stuff by Bathory, Burzum, Immortal, Emperor, Venom, Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, Celtic Frost, Satyricon...

 

[Zephyrus]

Which album from Satyricon would an Emperor fan most embrace?

 

[Wires & Waves]

dark medieval times is their only album worth hearing anyway

 

[Zephyrus]

Yeah I was thinking of that one along with Nemesis Divina.

 

[Dän]

For sure Dark Medieval times and nemesis

 

[Nico]

The Shadowthrone is also really good.
