How good is Evoken's "Antithesis of Light"?

Album?

 

[Zephyrus]

Album?

Any album, but the last two are my favorites. Ad Noctum: Dynasty of Death is lightning fast with a very mystical atmosphere and ancient auras. The Ultimate Death Worship has a more brutal production, and just as good.

I haven't heard Moon in the Scorpio but In Abhorrence Dementia, likely MITS, are great musically but the guitars are too low in the mix, making the albums sound weaker compared to the heavier ANDoD and TUDW.

How good is Evoken's "Antithesis of Light"?

It's good but my least favorite Evoken.

1. Embrace The Emptiness
2. Quietus

How good is Evoken's "Antithesis of Light"?

Best Death/Doom album around. Absolutely haunting and oppressive as fuck.

 

[Death Aflame]

I highly recommend Symbyosis' album Crisis.

Yeah it's very good. On the Wings of Phoenix is also worth checking out (although I think I prefer Crisis slightly).

 

[Hammer of Might]

Any album, but the last two are my favorites. Ad Noctum: Dynasty of Death is lightning fast with a very mystical atmosphere and ancient auras.

Just to offer an alternative view of this release - for me the only atmosphere is the plasticy computer-generated sound of unconvincing wankery.

 

[DarkBliss]

Yeah it's very good. On the Wings of Phoenix is also worth checking out (although I think I prefer Crisis slightly).

Yup good stuff

Cheers, I'll be sure to check it out. I see that Guns n' Roses new guitarist produced it.

Damn, I'm metaphorically hurting myself right now for not buying the Satyricon/Enslaved split in favor of Dissection's Reinkaos. I like Reinkaos, but I really should've bought the split. Now I don't know when I'll see it again.

What are good albums by Therion and Behemoth?

 

[nissan]

I highly recommend Symbyosis' album Crisis.

Ahahaha, I noticed you've been listening to it a lot on your last.fm page... Anyway, yes, great band, I really prefer On The Wings of Phoenix though, mostly because they got a real drummer on that album. The drumming on Crisis was done with drum machine and it really doesn't tickle me at all.

What are good albums by Behemoth?

Satanica
And the Forests Dream Eternally

those two should be easy to find in stores.

What are good albums by Therion and Behemoth?

I like "Demigod" by Behemoth, but one the other hand I´ve never liked Therion at all so I might not suggest anything.

what is the best album from Diabolic

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I just listened to "Supreme Evil" by Diabloic, which I highly recommend, it is pure death metal, with lots of evil atmosphere, sick riffs and drumming, and lots of solos
