The Thread Where You Talk About Music You Like

Winds Of Creation is far better, in my opinion, but both are alright slabs of generic yet competent death metal. When I think death metal, the two bands that usually come to mind are Decapitated and Suffocation just because they're both so archetypal.

My thoughts exactly. Decapitated are so average.

I don't feel like uploading at the moment, but here's the Mordicus myspace where you can download some songs:

Back on Decapitated. Some of the releases don't even really sound like death metal to me. The latest for example sounds like meshuggah meets fear factory with hardcore vocals.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yeah, that album is shitty. Stop talking about fuckin' Decapitated now...we know you hate them.

 

[DarkBliss]

cheers

Have you gotten that Sacrilege album already?I have boh full-lengths by the band and can upload them if you want

 

[Slayed Necros]

Order From Chaos is classic. Years ago, Stillbirth Machine was one of my favourite death metal albums, but nowadays I prefer An Ending In Fire (almost solely for 'There Lies Your Lord, Father of Victories')

 

[Hammer of Might]

Hhmm, need more OFC.

 

[CF87]

I just want to say that bloodbath is the best new death metal band and my bloodbath shirt fucking kills.

 

[CF87]

I rock

I love Emperor. I just wish they would have put out more albums in the vein of at least IX Equ.; I just can't stand the prometheus crap. I listened to ATWAD, ITNE, and IX yestersay, and it seemed like so little. I just wish there was more. Such a shame that such a great band has such a limited discography.

Yes, but you never get bored of Emperor, so it's ok that there is a limited number of songs by them to listen to. Most are genuine masterpieces.

Also, give Prometheus some more time to grow on you. It took me a really long time before I finally got used to it, and now I really like it.

 

[Hammer of Might]

Interesting comment actually, because out of the 'big names' in black metal that one checks out when first discovering the genre, Emperor have become a band I hardly ever listen to now.

It's not that I don't think they're a good band, I just don't find them as essential as bands like Darkthrone, who I still listen to a lot. It's important to be aware of Emperor and what they did, but unfortunately I can't say that I never got bored of them.

 

[Zephyrus]

Emperor's significance was showing that black metal can take so many new forms if you go beyond the tr00 sound, and in a way that did not betray the genre.

 

[cookiecutter]

Emperor is really the direction of black metal I do not like.

 

[Death Aflame]

Yeah I found Lost in the Beauty You Slay but couldn't find The Fifth Season. I'd still be interested in hearing it though.

 

[Impudent]

I think I have some demo material from Mordicus.

Atomizer - "The Death of Forever"
This is some rockin' black/thrash!

 

[Nico]

Eh, Atomizer are one of those bands I've tried a million times and have never been able to comfortably listen to. I'm told the drummer killed himself recently though, hich is a right fucking shame.

Emperor's significance was showing that black metal can take so many new forms if you go beyond the tr00 sound, and in a way that did not betray the genre.

I think you're thinking of Dissection.

 

[Impudent]

I knew that he died, but I was not aware that he committed suicide. 'Tis indeed a shame.

 

[Hatebreeder]

I almost bought the self-titled Suffocation album, but I have not heard anything from it. Opinions?

 

[Killbot]

Same here.
