Top 5 songs by various bands:
The Chasm:
1. The Mission / Arrival to Hopeless Shores
2. The Eclipse: Monument to the Empire
3. Possessed by Past Tragedies (Tragic Shadows)
4. Return of the Banished
5. Cosmic Landscapes of Sorrow
Probably my favourite song on
The Spell of Retribution along with "Retribution of the Lost Years" but it's also my least favourite The Chasm album. Those songs rule, though.
I'll try and do this but I'll limit it to only 1 from each album or else
Deathcult would rule the list!
1. A Portal to Nowhere (No words)
2. Cosmic Landscapes of Sorrow (I'm a sucker for melodic tremolo blast sections and this has one of the best ever.)
3. The Mission/Arrival to Hopeless Shores ("And so when I reach the chimerical oceans, timeless monoliths of hate". No escape from the hopelessness of this song.)
4. Brand the Mournful Liberation (mainly for the part starting starting at around 3.30ish, all the feels. I could have picked "Deathcult Arrival" or "Procession to the Infraworld" for this album.)
5. Retribution of the Lost Years (1:30, 2:23 and 3:40 are gorgeous. Such passionate vocals throughout this piece. Does lack that killer riffset starting at 3:42 from your pick though so really those 2 songs would be tied for me.)
