glad you like.
Of course i've heard Decapitated and Vader but guess i'll be checking out Sceptic and Truama. What are good albums to start by them?
Trauma - DetermiNation

I still think it's their best, even over Nightside, though it's really very close. Anthems kinda sounds like nothing else ever has, though. Was a glorious mindfuck beyond all else in its time. I'm guilty of forgetting about Emperor in recent years because I'm less and less interested in symphonic black metal, but I should remember to put those on more often.Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk
As with way too many of my CDs, I have had this a while and never really familiarized myself with it. I recognize a melody or two, but mostly it is unfamiliar to me.
This is an odd album. There is a lot going on besides black metal. It is very dense and seems like it will take some effort to digest. I definitely hear some good stuff, but also a lot of stuff I am not so sure about. I am wondering how this will end up on the balances.

That album fucking kills. I didn't like it at first myself... I was like "what the hell is this?" Eventually I woke up to how awesome it was. First three Emperor albums all slay.
^Is that album very similar to heathenreel or are they still releasing cheese like the winter wake?
Listening to esoteric for the first time. Starting with metamorphogenesis. Not much to say....I'm just really in a "wtf" mood right now trying to understand what is going on.
Dead Congregation-'Graves Of The Archangels': Well, I've pretty much been anti-death metal for the last 6 months. Unless it's ridiculously slammy which serves as better "I don't know what else to listen to and don't feel like listening to something with much though" stuff, old-school shit, or Ignivomous, I haven't liked it. I can barely even listen to old-school dm anymore, honestly. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this. The production is suffocating...not for the instruments, but for the listener. It's very much like a grave. The riffs are original, inventive, catchy without faggotry, the vocals are the perfect gurgle-without-inhaling. The drumming is machine like in precision, but not in creativity. Everything about this album is just right, just evil enough, just dark enough, just interesting enough. This would have been on my top 10 had I heard it last year, which is saying a lot, because I REALLY haven't cared for death metal recently. Fucking great album.
