Black/Death Metal/Hardcore/Grindcore/Obscure heavy music thread rebirth!

OK - now that I've lost most of my posts between the old immortal metal thread, the selling forums, and the mysterious decreasing postcount syndrome, it's time to resurrect this timeless thread - I expect the stalwarts, namely tsukaesugi, mookystains, and tattoo to be in here.

Current top ten for me -

1. Satanic Warmaster - Black Katharsis
2. Bathtub Shitter - Fertilizer 7"
3. Graveland - Fire of Awakening
4. Clandestine Blaze - Fist of the Northern Destroyer
5. Ildjarn - Det frysende nordariket
6. Vanilla Muffins - Hail Hail Sugar Oi!
7. Miburo - Kita no ôkami (Cheers tsuka!)
8. División 250 - Imperium
9. Bolt Thrower - War Master
10. Brutal Truth - Extreme Conditions...

Honorable mention: Ill Mitch - "Fast and Danger"

Three points - 1) everyone should be lining up around the block for every new release on Northern Heritage from Finland, especially Clandestine Blaze and Satanic Warmaster, who despite having a laughable band name are putting out some of the blackest, most extreme underground BM in a long time. 2) War Master is a way underrated Bolt Thrower album and the new Graveland record kills 3) Miburo is one of the 10 best hard oi units in the world.

1 - Michael Jackson - Thriller
2 - Kenny G - Paradise
3 - MC Hammer - Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'em
4 - Living Colour - Vivid
5 - Color Me Badd - Now and Forever
6 - New Kids on the Block - Step by Step
7 - Vanilla Ice - To the Extreme
8 - Prince - Purple Rain
9 - Barry Manilow - One Voice
10 - The Weather Girls - Super Hits

entombed-clandestine

I'm not too into the newer Templars material (ODO and after), but I love "Return of Jacques de Molay," "Phase II," and especially the DIM miniCD "Beauséant."

Haven't listened to Ken McClellan and Co. in a long time. "Tales of Glory" is good - love "Under the Hammer", even though its got the worst cover art ever. My faves are the early stuff - "Stronger than Before" and "As the Drum Beats." Return of St George!

tattoo · Sep 17, 2003

true the latter of the templars material seems to fall a bit short.
stronger than before is my favorite BA album.

i'm going to see EXHUMED,DIABOLIC and KATAKLYSM this sun.
hope it's a decent show. :buttrock:

Heh, funny that we happen to share similar views with regard to the conflict in Iraq, and also similar musical tastes

My top-ten: -in no particular order, however-

1. Six Feet Under - Haunted
2. Cannibal Corpse - Live Cannibalism
3. Deicide - Legion
4. Immolation - Dawn of Possession
5. Slayer - Reign in Blood
6. Entombed - Wolverine Blues
7. Motörhead - We are Motörhead
8. Carcass - Necroticism. Descanting. The Insalubrious.
9. Nile - Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka
10. Theatre of Tragedy - Velvet Darkness They Fear

So basically I love evertyhing from Brutal Death bands like Deicide and Cannibal Corpse, uncompromising Thrash like Slayer to Death-Rock like Entombed, Hard Rock like Motörhead, or Gothic-Doom ones like Theatre of Tragedy. :buttrock:

5. Slayer - Reign in Blood

As they say, my friend - los genios pensamos igual!

Reign in Blood is one of the finest albums ever. Evil has no Boundary!

Electroman · Sep 17, 2003

"Evil has no boundaries" was off Show No Mercy

I agree however, Reign in Blood is one fine piece. Angel of Death is classic as are the powerchords in Raining Blood.

I have a top 10 list in my head but I don't feel like typing it right now.

gmw · Sep 17, 2003

Oops, heh. You're right. Dumb mistake, especially considering a tape of Show No Mercy was probably the first serious metal I owned back in the 80s.

That aside, Reign in Blood is indeed a fine thing. Aside from Angel of Death of course, Epidemic and Raining Blood are also insane and unhinged tracks.

4) Emperor

After "In the Nightside Eclipse," in my opinion one of the greatest black records ever, I really can't take Emperor. It's strange - I've probably listened to "Nightside..." hundreds of times over the last 8-9 years since it came out, but all later Emperor really doesn't do it for me. Somewhere they lost that huge raw sound they had on "Nightside..."

I totally fucking dig Nightside, but its almost a little TOO raw for me

I really like Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk... Equillibrium is okay... but Prometheus... is just undisputable genious work. That album is the most technically delicious thing that my ears have ever heard. It's hard to believe that Ihsahn wrote that album ALL by himself 100%.

Talk about going out with a bang...

I definitely agree about the technical side of things - Anthems.. and Prometheus are really accomplished records, but to my ears, it's just too tidy for me and the production is a bit too slick. Then again, what I really like is raw, totally stripped, cold black metal. Early Darkthrone or Burzum style. I'll agree for sure on the technical skill of Ihsahn - Emperor is astonishing stuff, but for my tastes they lost that cult underground sound after Nightside...

tsukaesugi · Sep 17, 2003

No fair, you guys made this thread while I was asleep, so I missed out on all the fun.

gmw sent me the two Japanese Oi! comps that used to be in my sig, so I finally got a chance to hear them. They rock. They rule. Enough said.

Two weeks ago I was listening to lots of Japcore, namely:

JUDGEMENT 'Just Be'
FORWARD 'Fucked Up'

I was also spinning:

EXTINCTION OF MANKIND 'The Final Chapter'

EOM aren't Japanese (they're Polish), and they don't even sound remotely like Japcore (they're more crusty if anything), yet for some strange reason they're on HG:Fact, which is a Japanese Japcore label. Go figure. Anyway they rock.

Finally, I went drinking in Shinjuku on the weekend, there's a bar that lets you go up on the roof and drink there, and my friend brought his Discman and some mini-speakers so we were listening to music as we drank under the stars. My friend had a rock n roll compilation, but one of the songs on it was BLITZ'S 'Someone's Gonna Die Tonight'. I had a blast listening to that.

Baseley09 · Sep 17, 2003

Robert Miles - Children
Captain Sensible - Happy Talk

Now we're talking McFucking Hardcore and cheese

JUDGEMENT 'Just Be'

I still haven't heard this, but it's got great cover art.

Supremely underrated album: Napalm Death - Harmony Corruption

tsukaesugi · Sep 17, 2003

I read in an interview somewhere that Barney from ND was very influenced vocally by Tom Warrior from Celtic Frost... you can really hear that influence on 'Harmony Corruption' whenever Barney lets off a 'UH' or a 'MOSH'.

Bonus points if you can find the ripped-off Hellhammer riff from 'Triumph of Death'.

gmw · Sep 18, 2003

True - the CF influence is definitely there. My absolute favorite ND material is still Scum and From Enslavement... but Harmony Corruption is one of the most brutal death metal records I know of - always gets panned for not being grind enough, but it's a fucking amazing record in its own right.

In other news, the new Graveland album owns everybody. Back to the old Thousand Swords sound.

tattoo · Sep 18, 2003

ah, good ol' celtic frost who would have thought that a band could put out a masterpiece like "morbid tales" could also spawn out some sad shit like "cold lake". :crying:

i was listening to some INCANTATION on my way home from work.

Mortal Throne of Nazarene - fucking brutal! Guitars are tuned so low on that one its a miracle the strings didnt fall off.

tattoo · Sep 18, 2003

hell yeah brutal indeed. but too me heaviness describes BOLT THROWER, "Realm of Chaos" and "Warmaster"
and i like your avatar.......i love the CRASS

A-Train · Sep 18, 2003

I haven't been listening to much metal lately, just hardcore (as that is my true love), but I agree that Prometheus is great. I just listened to it a couple weeks back after not listening to it since it came out and was blown away. But I can definitely see how you wouldn't dig it if you like more raw sounding black metal. What's Ihsahn up to these days?

As for what I've been listening to:
Agorphobic Nosebleed-Altered States of America
Unbroken-The Death of True Spirit
Every Time I Die-Hot Damn!
The Red Chord-Fused Together In Revolving Doors
