Those precious EP albums you keep to yourself no one knows about

[Bruticus]

I think as very committed metalheads of years of experience, with the qtties of metal we've ingested, we've all come across more or less obscure EP's that hold a special significance to us.

So this is a long shot but what the heck...: The Forsaken Mourning of Angelic Anguish.


It just sounds so damn...pure, heads down death metal, but in a distinct kind of way. And every track has sth to it, it's not that flat boring shit production EP by some average US death metal band.

You got one ?

I don't exactly keep this EP to myself (that's gay) but it's pretty obscure, even among technical death metal fans. Italian lunatics!

Wish you’d keep your thread ideas to yourself...

I only "keep this to myself" because there isn't a lot of copies out there so not many have heard it, it's not a secret or anything.

Black Jack - Five Pieces O' Eight

The idea of "keeping an EP to yourself" is the epitome of hipster bullshit. Here are some black metal EPs that I really love that don't get mentioned that often.

Seigneur Voland- S/T: Raw yet melodic black metal with a dark regal vibe.


Laster- Wijsgeer ende narreman: Atmospheric black metal with touches of epic and melancholy



Wanderer- Surrounded by These Firs: Just classic 90s raw Scandinavian forest loving black metal

Pretty sure OP was using a figure of speech you autists.

Both Antagonist EPs are awesome. First one I know some people know here, great chunky thrash with swagger and a bit of techiness to some of the riffs:



But their second EP I've hardly seen anyone discuss, not a total masterpiece like the first, but it's almost like a prototype to the modern Satan's Host sound, clean vocals and music that kind of blurs trad and extreme metal:

Never heard their second EP before, this rules so far.

Gave this a proper listen. Damn. That's pretty wild. Not bad.

Oh well you can achieve that. You just fuck off and don't click the threads. Easy.

omg. There are black metal EP's ? That first one sounds like it was recorded during the 17th century.
I like the second one. Catchy, pure sounding.
Third is too much of a stretch for me. It sounds ...like a Europe track with various animal samples accidentally recorded on top.

Fixating on a term or expression, totally serves a purpose.

I liked em both. There's a real appeal to a thrash band incorporating elements of extreme metal while staying quintessentially thrash. They sound darker, and def. more technical than the typical thrash band. Lyrics cheesy though, well it is thrash.

Yeah, they didn't used to exist, but Euronymous broke the color barrier with Deathcrush. I guess you could say he was the Jackie Robinson of black metal.

Those EPs only played in the minor leagues so they don't count.

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Yeah, like I said.
