Extreme Summer rawr

I got burned out on trying new stuff, so I decided to bolster my Extreme Metal library. Will update as I check stuff (and add whatever you guys think would suit my tastes).
1Converge
Bloodmoon: I

Mid.

Has a great opener and a couple other good tracks, but then it kinda lost me.
2Cradle of Filth
The Principle of Evil Made Flesh

Good.

Very primitive sound, but it is a abrasive, lewd fun.
3Cattle Decapitation
Monolith of Inhumanity

Great.

Including this here because I finally checked it in full. May edge the new one out a tad.
4Cult of Luna and Julie Christmas
Mariner

Great.

I have been aware of Christmas for over a decade, but only found out about this recently. It more than exceeded my expectations.
5Death
Symbolic

Good.

Chuck's vocals are kinda tough to get used to, but this is quality vintage DM.
6The Dillinger Escape Plan
Ire Works

Great.

Counting this because it has been ages since I last heard it, so it was kinda like a new experience.
7Emma Ruth Rundle and Thou
May Our Chambers Be Full

Great.

I love this grungy approach to doom. Made for a bit of a unique experience.
8Neurosis and Jarboe
Neurosis and Jarboe

Good.

Even tho I enjoy Swans, this one is at its best when it doesn't sound like Swans tribute band.
9Opeth
Still Life

Great.

Never gave this one a true shot before recently. And it is becoming clear to me that early Opeth records are all growers.
10Paradise Lost
Gothic

Mid.

I wanted to like this more, but some of the vocal choices on here are... interesting. Title track is great, tho.
11Pig Destroyer
Phantom Limb

Great.

I slept on this band for way too long.
12Sleep
Dopesmoker

Great.

PROCEEDS THE WEEDIAN NAZARETH
13Type O Negative
Dead Again

Great.

This record is easy to like if you can make peace with Peter's abrasive politics.
14Triptykon
Eparistera Daimones

Great.

Prefer Monotheist, but this thing is still fucking monstruous.
15Abigail Williams
Walk Beyond The Dark

Great.

Who would have thought that these guys would have wound up having such a solid discography. They just seem to keep getting better as they go.
16Dodheimsgard
A Umbra Omega
17Anathema
Serenades
18Behemoth
I Loved You at Your Darkest

Good.

Major step down from its predecessor (and which was followed by an even worse sequel), but still enjoyable enough as is.
19Cradle of Filth
Cruelty and the Beast - Re-Mistressed

Good.

Overall more a little more consistent than their debut.
20Cattle Decapitation
Death Atlas
21Enslaved
RIITIIR

Fantastic.

The fact I steered clear of this in 2012 is now a source of great shame. And I now need to explore their entire discography.
22Gaerea
Mirage
23ISIS
Panopticon
24My Dying Bride
The Angel and the Dark River

Good.

Pretty much on par with Draconian Times in that it has strong bookends on what is overall a solid record.
25Neurosis
Through Silver in Blood
26Portal
Swarth
27Summoning
Minas Morgul

Good.

Some nice synthwork and a few crushing heavy sections, though I really feel the hour runtime on this one.
28Triptykon
Melana Chasmata
29Belphegor
Necrodaemon Terrorsathan
30Cryptopsy
None So Vile
31Decapitated
Nihility
32Entombed
Left Hand Path

Fantastic.

Buzzsaw to the brain.
33Mr. Bungle
Disco Volante
34Dismember
Like an Ever Flowing Stream
35Saint Vitus
Born Too Late
36Mgla
Exercises in Futility
37Opeth
Morningrise

Great.

This one is seriously undervalued amongst progheads. Shame.
38Theatre Of Tragedy
Velvet Darkness They Fear
39Archspire
Bleed the Future

Good.

Absolutely insane and the rare example of a tech death record I can enjoy. I understand why this blew up.
40Sacrilege (UK1)
Behind the Realms of Madness
41Demilich
Nespithe
42Ulcerate
Everything Is Fire
43Old Corpse Road
'Tis Witching Hour...
44Kayo Dot
Moss Grew on the Swords and Plowshares Alike
45In Flames
Lunar Strain

Decent.

A solid debut with some bangers, like 'Behind Space' and 'Upon An Oaken Throne.'
