Assemblage: Onward to Golgotha vs. Effigy of the Forgotten

Assemblage 02.13.18	rec's for preferences if this were to continue, such as keeping the albums within the same year, or a certain commonality between two contenders like sophomore releases or keeping the matchup between specific subgenres, are welcome.
Demon of the Fall 02.13.18	Onward. Admittedly I just don’t get Effigy.
Assemblage 02.13.18	I think Suffocation's vocals were the biggest separation in terms of style at the time, but that might just be me. Effigy is a special release I think especially in 91, and Pierced from Within is straight rifffs so their heavyweight status is not without merit. The first four Suffo albums are real solid but I haven't listened passed that.
Rowhaus 02.13.18	Golg
Assemblage 02.13.18	Daaaaang I know there's Effigy lovers somewhere around here lol, or are they already grinded to pieces.
DungeonBoy 02.13.18	We should get Mark McGrath to weigh in on this http://www.metalinjection.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/mark-mcgrath-suffocation.jpg
Assemblage 02.13.18	Lol
TheSpirit 02.13.18	I think Incantation managed to keep their legacy intact a bit better than Suffo, which effects people's opinioins regarding their older material They've released the same amount of classic albums as Suffo and then some pretty good ones even after that. Not to mention they've influenced a more interesting sect of death metal. Suffo is great, but goddamn, they've inspired some shit bands.
DikkoZinner 02.13.18	OtG
hexfix93 02.13.18	Effigy by far. Incantation might be a bit more consistent overall, although I think post-reunion Suffocation gets a bit too much flak. I've always been a fan of Souls to Deny and Pinnacle of Bedlam, even if they're not as good as their early records. But as far as Suffocation's classic records vs Incantation's, I much prefer Suffocation.
Elynna 02.13.18	I would pick Golgotha, Nazarene and Diabolical Conquest over Effigy
JayEnder 02.13.18	Golgotha for sure. Much more my thing. That and Mortal Throne of Nazarene destroy Effigy. Pierced fucks Effigy too imo.
DikkoZinner 02.13.18	I would pick Golgotha, Nazarene and Diabolical Conquest over Effigy[2]
DikkoZinner 02.13.18	Nothing against suffo but early Incantation just on another level
Rowhaus 02.13.18	I'd put Effigy just above Throne but it's close
Maco097 02.13.18	Golgotha easily
combustion07 02.13.18	Effigy for me. Both rule though. Pierce and Mortal Throne are my favorites from these two
BlackwaterPork 02.13.18	Onward
Assemblage 02.14.18	Pretty surprised by the unanimous opinion, I thought Effigy might have had more of an edge on this. As far as a favorite of the two, I would go with Effigy at this point. I love Incantation and all, and Onward to Golgotha is definitely more in the style of dm that I like, but in terms of which album was the bigger risk to pull off as a debut as well as the sheer craziness on Effigy that still pounds face to this day, Effigy wins it for me. Onward is like something I would put on after Effigy to chill. Both incredible though, no disrespect
Assemblage 02.14.18	Onward to Golgotha favorite tracks: Blasphemous Cremation, Eternal Torture Effigy of the Forgotten favorite tracks: actually really hard to choose... Infecting the Crypts of course, Seeds of the Suffering, Jesus Wept
Inveigh 02.14.18	pretty close call on these albums, but Mortal Throne of Nazarene is better than Golgotha imo
Assemblage 02.14.18	Yeah, I like Mortal Throne of Nazarene a lot more than Golgotha actually.
Inveigh 02.14.18	hell yeah Effigy is my favorite Suffo LP, but Human Waste is my favorite release of theirs
DarkSideOfLucca 02.14.18	Effigy Definitely
Inveigh 02.14.18	Mike Smith man, dude rules
Assemblage 02.14.18	Human Waste is sweeee.
hikingmetalpunk 02.16.18	better question would be onward vs close to a world below
Hawks 02.16.18	Fuck both are top 5 dm but Effigy is a tad better for me.
Assemblage 02.16.18	Idk about you guys but just looking at the album cover for Effigy gives that feel of a classic record. Such a good depiction of the carnage that ensues.
Assemblage 02.16.18	Gonna try and do another one of these tonight. I already have something in mind for Close to a World Below, but we'll see, kinda wanted to work my way up to it.
Demon of the Fall 02.16.18	CtaWB vs None So Vile? Could work.
Demon of the Fall 02.16.18	Or do you want the years closer together? That’s a tough one.
Assemblage 02.16.18	Yeah I haven't really gotten suggestions yet on what would be preferred, but I was assuming keeping the years pretty close so it's more fair. Right now it's just pretty much "this superb dm album vs this one", lol.
Assemblage 02.16.18	Maybe just work my way up the years I guess haha
InFlamesWeThrash666 02.16.18	Not a fan of Suffocation so
Spacesh1p 02.16.18	CtaWB vs None So Vile? Easy choice
Spacesh1p 02.16.18	CtaWB isn't even the best Immo and it wins easily.
JayEnder 02.16.18	What's the best Immo if CtaWB isn't? o-o
JayEnder 02.16.18	Here In After is close.
Deathconscious 02.16.18	"I think Suffocation's vocals were the biggest separation in terms of style at the time" Not at all man, their songwriting styles were/are very different. Anyways, i couldnt choose one over the other. I love them both for different reasons. Both are god tier death metal albums.
hexfix93 02.16.18	"What's the best Immo if CtaWB isn't? o-o" Here in After is best Immolation imo.
Spacesh1p 02.16.18	Hex is correct, Here in After is the best Immo.
Assemblage 02.16.18	At least you didn't say Unholy Cult
JayEnder 02.16.18	Yeah Assemblage I was worried too aha. I love Here In After, but Unholy Cult never clicked with me. Neither did Failures For Gods. I lol at that drum tone every time
hikingmetalpunk 02.17.18	immo vs autopsy
Assemblage 02.17.18	I guess you could say UC never clicked for me either, but at this point I'm not sure it would. Something about it puts me off for some reason and I can't really engage with it. I thought I was the only one here who felt that way tbh.
Assemblage 02.17.18	Autopsy hmmm... gots an idea.
StarlessCore 02.17.18	Incantation is the more consistent band but effigy whipes their discog so
StarlessCore 02.17.18	Also the general outlook on unholy cult is freaking revolting. Opener is better than any song on here in after
Assemblage 02.17.18	Nah, the first four on Here in After stack up to the best of their discography man.
StarlessCore 02.17.18	That's basically true, but means nothing because of martyrs and men probably their best song for me, those they are the rare band where the best could be like 5-10 songs
StarlessCore 02.17.18	Eh alright theres a few that contend that may be better but damn all fans who don't consider that their most overlooked song
Deathconscious 02.17.18	I was on the CTAWB train for the longest time, but more recently ive begun to think of HIA as their best.
Astral Abortis 02.17.18	Effigy duh
Assemblage 02.17.18	"Not at all man, their songwriting styles were/are very different." Yeah, definitely agreed. Just for me I know the vocals were what initially made it harder for me to get into as opposed to anything musically since I was used to the traditional style osdm vocals for so long.
EyesWideShut 02.17.18	Onward To Golgotha
Donchivo 02.17.18	Suffocation is the better band overall but between these two choices I go with Onwards!!
Hawks 02.17.18	I'd take Incantation overall for sure but both have multiple classic records.
hikingmetalpunk 02.17.18	onward
SIIMBOLIC 02.17.18	effigy 4.7 Golgotha 4.5
ShadowRemains 02.17.18	golgotha
Sinternet 02.17.18	effigy easy tbh
DarkSideOfLucca 02.17.18	Motherfucking EFFIGY Not even close for me
hexfix93 02.17.18	Motherfucking EFFIGY Not even close for me [2]
ShadowRemains 02.18.18	"Also the general outlook on unholy cult is freaking revolting. Opener is better than any song on here in after" lol
ThyCrossAwaits 02.21.18	This should’ve been Effigy
Madbutcher3 02.21.18	Effigy tbh
Assemblage 02.21.18	I'll keep updating as long as there are votes!
hansoloshotfirst 02.21.18	yeah, Effigy.
PortraitsOfDecay 02.21.18	Effigy hands down, I'll admit I've only listened to either album a handful of times but Golgotha is just draining to listen to for me. It's weird cause you'd think all the tempo changes would make it more engaging
zaruyache 02.21.18	suffocation >
Assemblage 02.21.18	Aaaaaand... we're tied!
Assemblage 04.07.18	Obligatory bump since this is still tied as far as I can tell.
SIIMBOLIC 04.07.18	fuuuck effigy by a cunt hair
Assemblage 04.07.18	Lol, SIIM, pretty sure I got your vote from earlier. There's a lot of comments but some are double votes that I had to skip over. But if someone wants to double check behind me that's cool. 14 each is too low!!
Dedes 04.07.18	Hmm, imma go Onward with this one. Love my death doom yo
combustion07 04.07.18	Effigy
SIIMBOLIC 04.07.18	sorry assem I must've been pissed when I commented that
Assemblage 04.07.18	It's all gooood.
Motiv3 04.07.18	Onward.
