*Vektor - Terminal Redux (just starting to wrap my head around this album)

You know, I had Schammasch as my number 1 for like 6 months but then Mithras put out their album. Definitely cannot criticize anyone for having Triangle as AOTY. What an unbelievable record. Have you heard Contradiction?

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

Have you heard Contradiction?

of course. Until Our Poison Devours Us and Golden Light is what got me into them. Plus I'm a big Behemoth fan; really into that blackened death - spiritual theme/occult sound they both have

 

[zerostatic]

In no order:

Mercyless - Pathetic Divinity
Destroyer 666 - Wildfire
Suicidal Angels - Division of Blood
Witchery - In His Infernal Majesty's Service
Fleshgod Apocalypse - King
Anthrax - For All Kings
Vektor - Terminal Redux
Death Angel - The Evil Divide
Vader - The Empire
Exmortus - Ride Forth

 

[The Ozzman]

Anthrax - For All Kings

This album surprised the fuck out of me

 

[no country for old wainds]

i'm gonna go ahead and assume it wouldn't surprise the fuck out of me due to me having standards.

the death angel was surprisingly ok though. the suicidal angels album is just generic and flat innit.

 

[Baroque]

This album surprised the fuck out of me

Seriously? Tempted to check it out.. it's at least better than worship music right?

 

[The Ozzman]

Didn't listen to it but I wasn't interested in Anthrax until I heard it

 

[Burkhard]

1. Mortillery - "Shapeshifter"
1. Madder Mortem - "Red in Tooth and Claw"
1. Watchtower - "Concepts of Math: Book One"
4. Voivod - "Post Society"

Since no. 1 is a draw between three bands, they all get ((10 + 9 + 8) : 3 =) 9 points.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

I'm not that active on here, so no probably cares about my top 10, but, what the hell. In no particular order, the albums from:

Svarttjern
Mistur
Behexen
Defeated Sanity
Fimbultyr

That Mistur took me by surprise, I need to check out the rest of these. I did hear a bit of that Behexen and remember liking it.
