Some Favorite Songs
These are just a few, in no particular order save for number 1. |
| 1 | The Black Dahlia Murder
Miasma
It is my opinion that this is the best song they have written. It creates an atmosphere and carries it through the whole song. I love it. |
| 2 | Cryptopsy
Cold Hate, Warm Blood
I just like this one. If you don't, tough. |
| 3 | Carcass
Blind Bleeding the Blind
The riff that drives this song is just plain bad ass, and as disjointed as the lyrics may seem at first glance, I think they fit well with the song. The dueling guitar parts during the leads was cool. |
| 4 | The Acacia Strain
Demolisher
This song is extremely simplistic, however, it is aptly named. It accomplishes what I think most Acacia Strain songs are supposed to do, demolish your speakers, demolish your ears, and demolish your face. |
| 5 | Nevermore
Never Purify
One of the better songs off of Enemies that wasn't a single, as far as I know. As a result, it was a song I liked that was still fresh to me when I picked up the album. |
| 6 | Dry Kill Logic
Neither Here Nor Missed
I tend to like this band when they're not attempting to be heavy. They have a good sound on their more mellow songs I think. I really wasn't impressed with Vengeance and Violence. |
| 7 | Glassjaw
Ape Dos Mil
I think most of this album was very solid, however, this track caught my ear in particular. |
| 8 | Ion Dissonance
She's Strychnine
This song is of interest to me because it maintains the harsh sound I usually associate with this band but does a good job of adding groove without falling into the Meshuggah worshiping riffage they went with on Minus the Herd. |
| 9 | Meshuggah
Vanished
Speaking of Meshuggah...This is probably my favorite song by them. Pre-Nothing era. All the lead parts were awesome in this song. This was back when the band didn't write a solo just because it was in an odd mode for a metal song. Seriously, if you don't have Destroy Erase Improve, at least check out this song. It runs the gamut of Meshuggah's sound. |
| 10 | Metallica
Damage Inc.
This was a pissed off song. I don't think I have to say anything else. |
| 11 | Pulse Ultra
Slip in Sin
I miss these guys. All the members of the band have their own projects, but Pulse Ultra were a strong band with an awesome sound. This song was a standout in my opinion. |
| 12 | After the Burial
A Vicious Reforming of Features
This song sounds like it could have been on Nothing or Obzen. I know I talked about Meshuggah worship earlier, but I like this song. |
| 13 | All Shall Perish
Prisoner of War
This is another song that sets a mood. The band chose a direction for the sound on this song and stuck with it. It stands completely apart from the rest of the music on this album |
| 14 | The Black Dahlia Murder
I'm Charming
Heh, this song has better drumming I think, than the whole of Nocturnal. At least, it sounds more interesting than the endless sorta blasts on Nocturnal. |
| 15 | Behemoth
Slaying the Prophets of Isa
Best song on the album. All the pieces fit here, and the Choir parts are an awesome touch. |
