[lurch70]

ok ... Axis of Perdition before Akerckoke ????

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I have 2 of those.... and I stopped listening to one.

 

[Nate The Great]

ok ... Axis of Perdition before Akerckoke ????

Akercocke got AOY last year (or the year before), so there might have been politics involved.

Anyway . . . I'd say Terrorizer usually has more variety in style/genre in their list than most all the other magazines/webzines.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I'd rather read Terrorizer than say, Cosmopolitan, but their taste in music is equally crap.

 

[NAD]

the only 2005 metal releases i bought (very few) are on there.

somebody tell me about that new Burst. i didn't love Prey on Life but thought they were definitely on track with something good.

I can tell you it doesn't come out in the US until February. They've taken a pretty drastic change in direction. They have really added a ton of dynamics and a lot more acoustic guitars. They're still heavy most of the time, but they're kind of doing the Isis thing . . . only in a completely different setting. All reviews I've seen have been excellent.

I remember them mentioning Xasthur in their black metal anthology, that places them worlds ahead of other metal papers. This list is pretty ok too, except I cannot endorse Opeth making the top 10, but then again they're top 3 in most publications...

 

[Ellestin]

but they're kind of doing the Isis thing . . .

quoted for untruth. "Origo" is waaaay more progressive and full of turns than Isis or whichever Isis-followers.
Burst are more into the Opeth trail these days.

 

[NAD]

huh, well i'll definitely have to check that out come next month.

 

[Dev]

I don't like the order at all but if you buy 3/4 of them shitz I guess you have a fairly decent amount of good releases. Meshuggah 1st disturb me very much though cause band appreciation aside I think Catch 33 is < Chaosphere or Nothing . Did those make the top .. 5 in the past?

 

[Erik]

spoiler: BURST more like SHIT

i saw them open for dark tranquillity it was not so pleasant

 

[Nate The Great]

WOW!

Has anybody heard that < Code > - Nouveau Gloaming album at #23? It's excellent, from the samples I found. The band contains members of Dodheimsgard, Ulver, and Void, and they sound kind of like all those bands combined, I guess.

Wow, a list that doesn't list the new Nevermore in the top 10? I have no issue with that, but still, I thought the majority of the underground world (any genre/any fan type) went gaga over TGE. Surprised Terrorizer didn't.

They actually gave it a 10/10 in their review, but that was just one individual.

I'm like the resident Terrorizer expert.

You have to realize that ALL MY LIFE I have never been around another individual that actively listened to the music I do. For some reason I was always drawn to it. So Terrorizer was the ONLY means of finding new music for me . . . until the internet came along. It's safe to say that Terrorizer completely shaped my listening habits. Probably 75% of what I listen to was recomended highly in Terrorizer. I'm too old to change all that now, though. I guess I'm stuck being superior to everybody else around here.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

punch yourself in the head

 

[dorian gray]

terrorizer is also the reason i started listening to metal. then this dumb forum.

btw, terrorizer loves opeth

37 Arcturus - Sideshow Symphonies

This and Lamented Souls finally proves that Simen Hestnaes is much better off providing sporadic "guest vocals".
