SCREAM!
06.04.16 | Slow riffz
Gon cry |
SCREAM!
06.04.16 | listening to 2 now and can already tell that 3.3 is WAY TOO FUCKIN LOW |
SCREAM!

NLD
06.04.16 | I'm going with 1. Love that record and its much more original to me, when I listened to 2 I felt like I would just rather be listening to Obliteration |
Anthracks
06.04.16 | Meh, don't really like either of these but I'll go with 1 because it's a bit less derivative. |
NLD
06.04.16 | I'll have to give 2 another listen, definitely didn't enjoy it on my first spin though |
Hyperion1001
06.04.16 | my vote will be for 1 regardless of what it sounds like
the second one is a blatant rip-off |
Hyperion1001
06.04.16 | yeah im listening to 1 now, definitely gets my vote.
plus crayon artwork = hilariously awesome |
ZippaThaRippa
06.04.16 | 2
If u don't vote Reptilian, u r ghey |
Gameofmetal
06.04.16 | no way is reptilian just a rip off lmao
gonna be a hard round tho, 1 rules so far |
Hyperion1001
06.04.16 | the first 3 tracks have at least 10 riffs from nekropsalms, and thats as far as i made it before i had to shut it off. OSDM is usually highly derivative, but this is on a new fucking level. |
Hyperion1001
06.04.16 | what does that even mean? |
Hyperion1001
06.04.16 | "your assessment" "wrong" "objectivity in music" "you should have a good ear like me" "you hear music wrong i can tell because i read a blogpost about it once"
just a translation so maybe one day youll have an epiphany of introspection. |
SCREAM!
06.04.16 | lol come on guyz
to be fair, you could objectively say that your statement is wrong/right hype given that you can objectively prove whether a band stole a riff or not (if the riff is the same they did, otherwise I guess they didn't)
That being said, I haven't heard Nekropsalms so I'm not taking sides on this one |
SCREAM!
06.04.16 | Definitely leaning towards Reptilian in this round although both are really cool so I'll be checking Nekropsalms sooner rather than later |
Gameofmetal
06.04.16 | urgh nekropsalms is so good jam it dude |
Hyperion1001
06.04.16 | alrighty, well lets just how objective we can get
listen to the riff at 2:56 in this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtuMG69dC0Y
then listen to the riff at 0:20 in this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQeQZznmSRU
thats just about as blatant to me as it gets, especially because everything else is so similar as well.
i mean i am biased because nekropsalms is my favorite DM album, but it just seems very obvious to me. |
Gameofmetal
06.04.16 | it just sounds to me like they did some palm muted shit at the same tempo, i get the similarity but it shifts a little bit immediately after that part |
Gameofmetal
06.04.16 | well it starts about the same tempo but in the reptilian track it does a weird thing where the riff slows down in the next bar or whatever |
Hyperion1001
06.04.16 | obviously im not trying to convince the contrarian overlord but ill leave my research for all to consume and figure out for themselves. |
TheSpirit
06.04.16 | oh my |
Hyperion1001
06.04.16 | "We all agree that Reptilian is great and that it's not a blatant ripoff"
"when I listened to 2 I felt like I would just rather be listening to Obliteration"
"Meh, don't really like either of these but I'll go with 1 because it's a bit less derivative."
dont worry, hopefully one day youll get there buddy ; ) |
NLD
06.04.16 | eh i pretty much agree with hype but i'm not sure that its a big deal, if people enjoy 2 that's cool. either way all this arguing about 2 is irrelevant because asphodelus is obv better :3 |
Keyblade
06.04.16 | literally the first thing that popped into my head when listening to 2 was this sounds like a bootleg obliteration. still enjoyable, but calling them a ripoff is not all that farfetched |
Hyperion1001
06.04.16 | i mean its pretty shitty of me to not admit my own bias, i knew posting like this would get metalman2k really going (even if it is my real opinion).
but in my defense i had forgotten how fun it was to argue pointlessly about stupid shit on this site. |
NLD
06.04.16 | yea I'm relistening to reptilian now that I know it sounds a lot like obliteration and I'm liking it a fair bit more. it was just really off-putting on first listen when i was expecting something new and i immediately started getting all the obliteration vibes |
Nazzadan
06.04.16 | Shit, this was much tougher than round 1. I think I'm going to go with 1 though. |
hal1ax
06.04.16 | I vote 2 . |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | I don't understand the hate for Reptilian at all. Darkthrone made ONE fucking death metal album. They might as well BE an alternate timezone Darkthrone in which they remained a death metal band forever.
Also the vox are strongly reminiscent of Van Drunen aka the best death metal vocalist in the world, unquestionably. |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | If you don't love Martin Van Drunen, then you love Jesus |
NLD
06.05.16 | no one hates it for sounding like darkthrone though, did you even read the comments? |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | No no not you, but in some other threads people been saying that. |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | You're all good mang.
Entitled to your opinions and such |
NLD
06.05.16 | I'm just confused lol, everyone here is saying it sounds like obliteration not darkthrone |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | Obliteration is very cool, but they don't have as good a vocalist |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | Wherever I go I see "Soulside worship" |
hal1ax
06.05.16 | i love 2. |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | I love YOU |
NLD
06.05.16 | yea it sounds a bit like that record too. gotta disagree about the vocalist though, the vocals are ripped off of obliteration if anything on that record is |
hal1ax
06.05.16 | aw such a sweet heart |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | Very similar but Obliteration is a bit more gravelly. I love the really unchained howling going on with Reptilian. He sounds mildly tortured. |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | But yeah, when I was a young fellow, one of the vocalists of Mayday Parade left the band and went and formed a Mayday Parade clone. Pretty identical in concept and execution. But with two bands that were essentially the same, they were releasing twice as much material. And in my opinion, more was better.
Same concept: the Obliteration niche hasn't been quite beaten to death by imitators as of yet so why not have two bands doing similar things and releasing more albums? |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | In a few years when the Obliteration sound goes full Deathspell Omega, then I will bitch like there is no tomorrow |
Gameofmetal
06.05.16 | damn i thought the vocals were one of the more separating aspects of it |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | Well you thought |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | WRONG |

06.05.16 | Gameofmetal goes into
...
THE PIRANHA TANK! |
hal1ax
06.05.16 | lol |
Hyperion1001
06.05.16 | "In a few years when the Obliteration sound goes full Deathspell Omega, then I will bitch like there is no tomorrow"
well it just seems like since there's so little ground left to cover in the subgenre that "imitators" are much more easily spotted.
theyre already taking heavy inspiration from darkthrones deathmetal style, so it just seems kind of ridiculous to not point out that it's an imitation of an imitation.
its like trying out fake crab to see what crab actually tastes like. |
hal1ax
06.05.16 | zipp im gonna listen to the album u nominated right now cz I'm bored
if i don't like it i gonna b mad at u |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | If you don't like it you're a faggot so go ahead |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | The Darkthrone death metal pantheon consists of one single album. I don't think it's quite in danger of being crowded out. |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | Seriously though Temple of Baal is sick as fuck |
hal1ax
06.05.16 | it better be |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | If you don't like Black Redeeming Flame then you aren't a good person |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | The drums on that album are so on point production-wise. More organic than a farmer's market. |
iloveyouall
06.05.16 | 1, although it was a much tougher choice than the first round. |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | Die |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | If Reptilian doesn't make it past round 1 I hate everyone |
NLD
06.05.16 | tbh the fact that desecravity gets to move on and one of these doesn't is pretty sad |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | Yeah but honestly it was a match up of two of the shittiest albums. |
iloveyouall
06.05.16 | i was thinking about voting for 2, but then i read snox's comments itt. |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | Look bud.
You can't not like an album because Snox likes it. |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | You guys are birds of a feather.
You both have varied taste and polarizing opinions. You stick to your guns and go stalwartly against the grain. You butt heads because neither of you is the type to back down from an argument. But tbh, You're pretty similar. And both pretty adorable in your own stubborn way.
So stfu |
iloveyouall
06.05.16 | no no no, you're getting it all wrong.
i didn't vote for 1 because i'd be aligning with snox if i voted for 2.
his dumb-ass comments just made me cringe enough that i now can't think about 2 without cringing a little. hence, i voted for 1 because no cringe factor is an important thing. |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | That's still not a good reason! |
iloveyouall
06.05.16 | it's good enough for me :):):) |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | Awww COME ON |
iloveyouall
06.05.16 | okay okay.
i vote for both! :) |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | Better |
ZippaThaRippa
06.05.16 | THE PLOT THICKENS |
iloveyouall
06.05.16 | i knew i was always in your mind snoxxxxxxxy darling. |
Gameofmetal
06.05.16 | i think im going with 2. 1 was pretty awesome tho, wish it was a full length |
Keyblade
06.05.16 | damn this one's really hard, they're both really good. i prefer 1's style more idk man |
Ryus
06.05.16 | i expected to like 2 more but 1 gets my vote |
Keyblade
06.05.16 | t/t on 1 is beautiful |
SCREAM!
06.05.16 | Ugh it's gonna be a bitch to count votes in this mess of a thread. Damnit guys
That being said I vote 2 |
ZippaThaRippa
06.06.16 | Hey be thankful you aren't CaimanJesus. We fucked his list up. I didn't even vote. |
NLD
06.06.16 | don't worry man i got ur back
votes so far:
1 - NLD, Anthracks, Hyperion1001, Nazzadan, iloveyouall, Ryus
2 - ZippaThaRippa, OvDeath, SCREAM!, hal1ax, Gameofmetal, iloveyouall
undecided - Keyblade
looks like 6-6 with sach voting for both records and keyblade being the potential tie breaker |
hal1ax
06.06.16 | lol u can't vote for both |
hal1ax
06.06.16 | sach pick one yuh bitch |
NLD
06.06.16 | lol he voted for 1 first but zippa peer pressured him |

NLD

he will never find out 4 sure |
ZippaThaRippa
06.06.16 | fuckin ruthless |
SCREAM!
06.06.16 | Was gonna count sach as a vote for 1 given the circumstances but if I do that, with sins new vote we'd end up with a tie again. So unless more people show up to vote I might have to give it to 2. Will wait until tomorrow since I know some people might have been too busy over the weekend to listen to these |
TheSpirit
06.06.16 | i vote 1 |
ZippaThaRippa
06.06.16 | lmao, there ya go |
ZippaThaRippa
06.06.16 | I would just close it out and get on to the next round so this doesn't take a month |
Gameofmetal

SCREAM!
06.06.16 | I'm definitely posting the next one tomorrow no matter what the standing is here. If I do count sach as having voted for 1, then it is now winning with spirit's vote |
Keyblade
06.06.16 | i vote for 1 as well btw |
ZippaThaRippa
06.06.16 | Fuck you |
Keyblade
06.06.16 | 2 was sweet but i cant shake that feeling that it sounds exactly like obliteration. made me listen to nekropsalms yesterday so thats a plus |
