Top 10 Metal Albums of 2016

[Omni]

It's definitely a different band, but three of the musicians are shared between both bands. That includes the drummer. I found him adequate on both albums, personally.

 

[-CC-]

I love how even though TB has been chill these past few weeks, y'all still are arguing about in-crowds. It's like an itch you just can't seem to scratch.

No one has threatened to knock anyone's teeth out yet tho

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... and no one has went on unrealistic shit talking rants where their asshole has run off of them either.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

What defines the realism of a shit talking rant? High polycount?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Anyway, me threatening to knock your teeth out had nothing to do with arguing about in-crowd. Free dental work, you should take it.

 

[Omni]

Kiss and make up, guys. It's almost Christmas.

Am I tripping or did we skip 2017? Not that we necessarily have to go in order or anything.

@CiG Maybe just a search glitch? Thread is here:

That Surgikill album is even better than the last time I jammed it (years ago).

Billy & Vanessa Nocera (fans of Razorback Recs should know those names) team up with Zdenka & Ash from Faithxtractor/Estuary to record some buzzsaw death metal with Stevo from Impetigo on secondary vocals! The closer "Planet of the Vampires" is adapted from the last song he was working on before Impetigo split so it never got recorded. Great shit! There's like 3 fucking vocalists on the album and it sounds kinda like Slaughter meets 90's Necrophagia.
