[QUOTE=Stormrider;15830130]Altars of Madness destroys pretty much everything talked about in this thread.[/QUOTE]

:lol:

okay not everything, but a lot.

Besides, I judge the band by that album for now because I haven't heard the other ones yet.

Jammie is right, Altars is in my top 5 DM albums.

Mappy, we all know your taste in DM is terrible on a good day.

Altars is okay.

[QUOTE=repcak;15830141]i've seen Morbid Angel live and they played most songs by "Altars of Madness" - live they are a fantastic band; One of the best concerts i've seen in my life![/QUOTE]

I've seen them too, and they played most of it as well. I wouldn't put it up there with the best shows I've seen, but it was still good.

[QUOTE=Deth;15830580]Mappy, we all know your taste in DM is terrible on a good day.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, because I don't overrated bands but I do like prominent hardcore influence, goddamn I suck.

Basically. Of course you have the tendency to OVERRATE deathcore bands, so whatever.

Not really, a lot of the regs just think it'll make them cooler and more mettle if they bash that type of thing.

I don't go around bashing it, but I honestly cannot stand it at all, and I know most regs (Hbp and crew discounted) don't have any interest in doing that.

most of the time it gets bashed because most of the time it sucks.

Very nice avatar Masscows. :)

thanks for reminding me to check them out, I've put it off for far, far too long. It's such a kickass album.

I really like Altars but I wouldn't put it in my top 5, or even 10. I understand its influence and all but I think there are far more innovative/memorable death metal albums.

[I]In my opinion[/I], Altars is one of the most memorable DM albums. It has so many riffs that stand out, some of the best drumming as far as constantly staying interesting and sweet vocals. Don't know what else anyone could want.

[I]In my opinion.[/I]

I wasn't saying your opinion sucks, I just happen to be one of the few that doesn't consider AoM one of the best death metal albums. A great one without a doubt, but there are better in my [I]humble[/I] opinion.
ie:
None So Vile
Human
Focus (if that counts)
and many old school Swedish death metal albums

Drums are too loud on Altars.

Do you have to make a post about me every single day? Is that like, your personal goal? Make one derogatory Hbp post a day? God, stop mentioning me. Develop a crush on someone else plz.

I have said it a million times, and I will say it again. I think that the only worthwhile "deathcore" bands are All Shall Perish and Glass Casket because they both have excellant songwriting and sometimes have somewhat interesting breakdowns.

I prefer Altars over Blessed, but I think those are both memerable dm albums. Yes, None So Vile is too. Lykathea Aflame is as well (that's for you, Angsteve) and I also really like Winds Of Creation.

I don't feel the need to make fun of you for once. :')

Veil Of Maya

And I think the best dm album is easily None So Vile.

My top 5 dm albums:

1. None So Vile
2. The Conductor's Departure
3. Planisphaerium
4. Identisick
5. Elvenefris

hbp needs to listen to animosity

[QUOTE]And I think the best dm album is easily None So Vile.

My top 5 dm albums:[/QUOTE]
I couldn't possibly make a top 5 dm albums because i always forget something. But these would be candidates:
Focus
None So Vile
Human
Dark Recollections
The Winterlong
Three Dolla Bill Y'all
Severed Survival or Mental Funeral
Something by Carcass etc.

No, no, None So Vile is the best.

My favorites though:
Cryptopsy - None So Vile
Cartilage - The Fragile Concept Of Affection
Depravity - The Silence Of The Centuries
Animosity - Empires
Job For A Cowboy - Doom

I'm not very keen on cartilage but what's Depravity like?

My 5:
Cryptopsy- NSV
Behemoth- Demigod
The Berzerker- Dissimulate
Impaled- Death After Life
Vehemence- God Was Created

Not in that order for sure, but don't judge me too harshly on that list cuz death metal really ain't my thing...

jcs where the **** have you been.

And have you heard Helping The World To See by Vehemence? That is worlds better than GWC.

[QUOTE=Luc214;15832106]lol @ JFAC

Is it their album after that, because if so, that **** sucks. After they got a new singer and stopped making sweet melodic riffs, they kinda blew it.

Yes it is and it's better. >:[

eh maybe I need a relisten sometime...

Most metal albums I've gotten lately just haven't been doin it for me though. Any suggestions that not everybody's heard of?

Try Arghoslent - Incorrigible Bigotry

everyone has heard of that. On this website, anyway.

God Macabre - The Winterlong
[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids;15832156]everyone has heard of that. On this website, anyway.[/QUOTE]
I've not actually heard it yet, I want to though.

But the popularity hasn't been expounded to the (relative) stardom of say Britney Spears as has been done with other releases.

[QUOTE=jcs497;15832082]I'm not very keen on cartilage but what's Depravity like?[/QUOTE]
More Finnish oldschool DM, along the lines of Cartilage, but more sinister and more guttural vocals.

Cryptopsy - None So Vile
Carbonized - For the Security
Suffocation - Pierced from Within
Nocturnus - The Key
Benediction - Transcend the Rubicon

Well aren't we arsty [no].

[QUOTE=Bordello;15832190]Cryptopsy - None So Vile

awesome. I can't agree with the Benediction, but thats a great album nonetheless. Carbonized is ****ing ace as well.

Benediction rule.

Favorite more recent albums include:

Wormed - Planisphaerium
Dismember - That God That Never Was
Decapitated - Winds of Creation
Nunslaughter - Hex
Aborted - Goremageddon

And maybe the new Bohemian Grove.

I can't really get into a lot of newer bands though.

What do you guys think of Vader's recent material? I like it pretty well.

Vader? More like, thrash thread ******.

Not their new stuff you fool.

Impressions In Blood ****ing rules.

Impressions in Blood was kind of boring. Some of the songs would've been better if they actually went somewhere with them, instead chugging around like cavemen.
