Assemblage: Mental Funeral vs. Like an Ever Flowing Stream

Assemblage 02.18.18	This might close out my early 90's matchups depending how it goes. There's still a ton of ground to cover
Assemblage 02.18.18	Was also contemplating lists of three or five to speed things up.
butcherboy 02.18.18	had salmonella once, so I'm all done in life with ever-flowing streams.. mental funeral it is
budgie 02.18.18	mental funeral by far
bgillesp 02.18.18	These are two albums I'm ashamed to say I have yet to check. Gonna get on that now
Sinternet 02.18.18	stream obviously
BlackwaterPork 02.18.18	Definitely 2
necropig 02.18.18	Stream I'd say
Hawks 02.18.18	Damn you're picking all my fav dm albums for these faceoffs. Gotta go with Mental Funeral though by a small margin.
Spacesh1p 02.18.18	Mental Funeral yeah.
Colliiiin 02.18.18	Def Mental Funeral, both are classic tho
Deathconscious 02.18.18	Definitely Everflowing Stream. If it was between that and Severed Survival, id have a harder time choosing.
combustion07 02.18.18	Mental Funeral. Both great but Autopsy reigns supreme
G0atC0re 02.18.18	Like an Ever Flowing Stream! HM-2> no HM-2
Astral Abortis 02.19.18	Mental Funeral obviously
combustion07 02.19.18	Yeah the HM-2 rules but it's just not producing those sick leads Autopsy mastered
hexfix93 02.19.18	Like an Ever Flowing Stream > everything so yeah
combustion07 02.19.18	Gorement> all of Sweden
hexfix93 02.19.18	The Ending Quest is a classic record, one of the few albums I have 5'd actually, but it still doesn't touch Like An Ever Flowing Stream. Nothing does for me. But I'd agree that it's > any other Swedish dm.
ShadowRemains 02.19.18	tough one like an everflowing stream though because the three longer songs there are all absolute masterpieces
combustion07 02.19.18	Yeah it's preference really I just want more people to jam Gorement tbh feel like they're overlooked.
hexfix93 02.19.18	Agreed. They are definitely overlooked, which is a shame considering the quality of their music. I mean a lot of people do know them, but for the most part (particularly on other music sites) they don't even get mentioned when Swedish dm comes up, it's always Dismember/Entombed/Unleashed/Grave.
ShadowRemains 02.19.18	the ending quest is probably the 2nd best swedeath record in my mind splenium for nyktophobia by uncanny is an absolute essential as well
Astral Abortis 02.19.18	when it comes to swedeath, it's obvious that Liers In Wait/Grotesque/At the Gates > all
ShadowRemains 02.19.18	ok pissbore
Astral Abortis 02.19.18	Unlike my good friend Piss, Grotesque is actually my least favourite of those three
Astral Abortis 02.19.18	Liers in Wait is my favoutire tho
combustion07 02.19.18	Hell yeah Uncanny! Hadn't heard them really until the comp Dark Descends put out but they rip.
Assemblage 02.19.18	Damn, good thread so far guys. Have not heard Liers In Wait before, and I have to give Splenium for Nyktophobia more listens.
Assemblage 02.19.18	bgillesp, I meant to ask which did you start with?
Hawks 02.19.18	Gorement and Uncanny both rip.
hexfix93 02.19.18	Yeah Uncanny is awesome too. Which reminds me, didn't they release an EP last year or something? Mighta been the year before, gotta go check into that.
Donchivo 02.19.18	Mental Funeral for me... but it's a funny matchups as Dismember often admitted their admiration for Autopsy... so maybe even Matti Kärki would agree with my pick ;)
combustion07 02.19.18	You guys should check out the Swedish supergroup Murder Squad. Features members of Dismemberx Unanimated, etc and it's killer Autopsy worship
DikkoZinner 02.19.18	Mental Funeral
Maco097 02.19.18	Even Dismember is smart enough to realize Mental Funeral is the better album.
Casavir 02.20.18	Mental Funeral has more diverse compositions as well as better production.
DikkoZinner 02.20.18	None So Vile vs Obscura?
Assemblage 02.20.18	I don't want to give it away!!
DikkoZinner 02.20.18	Oops, SPOILER
Assemblage 02.20.18	"Mental Funeral has more diverse compositions as well as better production." Huh, I listened to both back to back and I thought Dismember was way more crisp.
Deathconscious 02.20.18	Murder Squad is boring imo. Slaughterday is a much better Autopsy worship band.
combustion07 02.21.18	I didn't like the first album much but the second rules. Especially the Sabbathy track. Not sure if I've heard Slaughterday or not
Astral Abortis 02.21.18	"Huh, I listened to both back to back and I thought Dismember was way more crisp." That's the issue. Crisp =/= better. Dismember has that Sunlight Sound, which isn't fantastic. Autopsy sounds real fuckin grotty
Doctuses 02.21.18	Mental Funeral. Album is tits.
ThyCrossAwaits 02.21.18	Autopsy is overrated IMO...probably just me. LAEFS for me.
Casavir 02.22.18	Assemblage, the production on Like an Everflowing Stream is brickwalled as hell. It's probably one of the main reasons I don't listen to it as often as I do other death metal albums, Swedeath or otherwise.
