How is Abyssmal Nocturne's "From the Astral Abyss"?

And which Carcass CD besides "Heartwork" and "Necrotism..." would be a good addition?

And how is Mayhem's "Live in Leipzig"?

Symphonies, Wake Up and Smell The Carcass, Swansong, Barbed Wire Soul (Blackstar), Reek of Putrefaction

In that order.

2 of their best ("Warrior On The Edge Of Time" - my favourite). By the way which are the "utterly terrible" Hawkwind albums?

Well, pretty much anything after Electric Tepee to start with. Most of their '80s albums weren't too hot either. Take Church of Hawkwind and Choose Your Masques for instance. If I recall correctly, those albums were just as much random electronic droning as they were actual rock music - and the rock tracks weren't much to speak of. A lot of their post-70s albums consist largely of SFX bullshit, though there are some marginal exceptions like Tepee, Space Bandits, and Chronicle of the Black Sword. Their only truly solid period was the Lemmy years, I'd say.

My favorite albums are the Lemmy ones plus Astounding Sounds, Amazing Music and Levitation. It did take me a while to develop a taste for the last two, though, since it's quite a different sound from the Lemmy stuff.

I was hoping you would put "Chronicle Of The Black Sword" out of the "terrible" list, although i wouldnt call any Hawkwind music "terrible", mediocre - yes. It is difficult for one to be directed to the mediocre Hawkwind albums though, since generally there is not much talk about them.

Requesting some heavy ass higher quality production death metal like Decapitated and Blood Red Throne (though BRT borders grind sometimes)

 

[ohiogrinder]

Hawkwind is the shit, without a doubt. Just be careful which albums you buy - depending on the time period, they vary greatly from outstanding to utterly terrible.

I like both their 70s stuff and 80s stuff, from what I've downloaded.

"Chronicle Of The Black Sword"

hey now, I actually like that album! so much that I would consider purchasing it with a number of their 70s albums.

Eh, there were a few good songs on it, but a lot of cheesy ones too in my opinion. I just don't think any of their stuff compares to the '71-'75 period. After that, their discog gets really patchy.

a death-grind band I never heard! how is Blood Red Throne?

 

[skeptik]

Blood Red Throne is not Death/Grind.

well then what would you call them? and are they worth checking out?

 

[skeptik]

They're just Death Metal. Nothing essential.

i cant remember which, but monument of death or affiliated with the suffering is worth checking out. quite decent, not essential, but definitely enjoyable.

And how is Mayhem's "Live in Leipzig"?

Ahem.

Something Sound of Perseverance-like, please...

Oh come on... Show me some love.

 

[black blood]

"Live in Leipzig" is a must. One of the best live albums ever. Great atmosphere, raw sound, some of their best songs and top of all that Dead vocals.

 

[Death Aflame]

On topic: recommend me some sweet Doom like Isole.
