The big century eargasmic paraphernalia

[J.]

2005 - Lurker of Chalice - s/t
this album's suffocating atmosphere is still unparalleled to this day.

I ordered the NWN version along with the recently released demo/unreleased material. Ive never heard one thing from this band. I miss buying blind. It's more fun this way

the s/t is an incredible album which is infinitely better than any leviathan release. I also have that “new” album (demos/comp). There are some good songs but it’s mostly underwhelming.

1) I forgot that MoW - Bath/LYBM was 2001.

2). You fuckers posting honorable mentions are ruining the purpose of this thread; devolving it into pure anarchy.

3) I bought that Hala Strana double CD back in the day when, I thought it was Demilich?, was pimping it. I’ve very briefly listened to it a handful of times over the years but don’t get it. I was never one for field recordings I guess.

2003 has been finalized. That album means too much to me. These 6 years have some amazing shit... make that 7 because 2007 was just as good. After that, it is clear that I stopped giving a crap about new music. Or perhaps artistry died in 2008, who knows? Onward!

2007: Mammatus - The Coast Explodes
2008: Colour Haze - All
2009: Nokturnal Mortum - The Voice of Steel
2010: Ludicra - The Tenant

2015: Iron Maiden - The Book of Souls
2016: Ihsahn - Arktis.
2017: Acid Witch - Evil Sound Screamers
2018: Sleep - The Sciences
2019: who cares
2020: hahaha
2021: i'll be lucky to be alive

My sole HonoUrable Mention goes to David Bowie - Blackstar from 2016. I have a very strong emotional attachment to the master's swansong, as many others do I am certain.

Must have been a phase. I never listen to shit like that anymore. Tried occasionally over the years and... nah

Demilich was always the man of taste around here

I'd like to retract this statement if possible
