The Thread Where You Talk About Music You Like

How is Hate Forest's first album? I love Sorrow and Battlefields.

Nothing else by HF is as good as those two albums. Sorrow is especially underrated; I love the melodies and the chunky bass sound on that album. I've never heard anyone else use the bass like that.
Everything else by HF tends to sound the same. Scythia, Purity, and the assorted EPs aren't too different from each other. The Nietzscheism compilation is a good value if you want the EPs. Purity has some good tracks, but some tend to run way too long. I liked that the songs on Sorrow were more concise.

Fuck, I meant I've only heard Purity and Battlefields ( I can blame this on being lazy and metal-archives not being up), which are both fantastic. I have Scythia, but I've only spun it a few times. I remember it being okay, but not as focused as Purity.

 

[MasterOLightning]

I would agree with that assessment. Get fucking Sorrow! It rules.

 

[cookiecutter]

I recently ordered Scythia. What is it like besides being less focused than their other album?

 

[swizzlenuts]

It's blasty and hypnotic, with deep vocals.

Got to love Minotauri. From the II booklet: "Minotauri was an elite member of C.O.T.D. but now we're dead! Fuck off!"

I may have written off Sinister way too soon. Cross the Styx is actually some great hard-hitting stuff, even with all the excessive blasting. I'll probably give their other albums a fairer chance.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Glad you've seen the light.

Diabolical Summoning is great, too. And Hate has it's moments. Hell, it's almost worth it just for 'Awaiting the Absu' and 'Embodiment of Chaos'.

 

[DarkBliss]

Yea, Diabolical Summoning will be next in queue then, seeing it's the one I've listened to it least of all.

Cross The Styx and Diabolical Summoning seem pretty promising to me and are probably considered classics and I would eventually track both down. Hate and Aggressive Measures seem good regardless not having any original guitar players. I think once Sinister had a shitty female growler they became crap.

So true! And you're a Visceral Evisceration fan!

 

[Crapples]

All thanks to your recommendation (possibly from this thread... I can't remember which). Awesome band!

Immense Intense Suspense is an absolute classic, even if it isn't recognized as such.

It's a good CD. But the fact that it has some parts that sound almost like metalcore does take a way from it a little bit.

you mean the clean the vocals in songs like Barricade and Gone...? I think they're quite tastefully integrated. I even like the shout-alongs on Barricade. It really fits the song.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Im listening to Belphegor - Lucifer Incestus....


Anyone else think these guys are pretty solid?

 

[Skepticism]

As much as I love black metal, I never thought I'd like Gorgoroth, but I picked Under the Sign of Hell and really enjoy it.

Anyone here heard of WRUST? Good old school dm from AFRICA. They just released their debut full length, which is great, especially considering their demo didn't impress me all that much. I am trying to find a distro to order their Soulless Machine album from, but as of yet have been unsuccessful.

I've heard those Wrust guys before, it's actually pretty decent stuff.
