Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name5.0 classicDeserted Fear Drowned by HumanityGreat from start to finish, though it took me about 3 full listens to realize how great it really was/is. I still listen to it about twice a month! Very addictive riffs, good production, and just a great melodic DM record overall!Mercyless Unholy Black SplendorMy favorite album besides The Mother Of All Plaques, it's evil, fast, very well produced and the songs are very well written. Not sure why anyone would give this a POOR rating. They must be deaf or not know good music when they here it. Awesome album.4.5 superbBloodrocuted For the Dead Travel FastDecayed Flesh Eternal MiseryGreat DM in the vein of so many other bands, but this is really done right. The production is good, the vocals are deep and just good enough to keep things interesting. For some reason I find their sound overall, very intriguing as the title of the band implies. It sounds like Decayed Flesh! So I'm not really sure what's so different about these guys as opposed to hundreds of other Slam/Brutal Death Metal bands, but it's something deep within the flesh.Mercyless The Mother Of All PlaguesA great album I'm not sure why any fool would give this album a low rating unless they are a religious fanatic. Then you should be listening to Stryper or something. These guys are relentless, and repentless, basically a much more evil death metal version of Slayer. Along with other bands like Sinister, Aeon, and Deicide. GREAT ALBUM!!4.0 excellentEvil Reborn Throne of InsanityAwesome old school riffs, I discovered this band while surfing on Youtube. The lead guitar player is top notch, and the vocals are like an old school Chuck Billy with a touch of Jeff Walker (Carcass) which is fine by me. Good clear crisp production as well. I must add it's in the vein of bands like Centinex, Bolt Thrower, Obscenity and many other old school death metal bands. Not modern tech death which I think it wearing itself out quickly. So this is a must have for any old school death metal fan.Xenosis Paralleled ExistenceGood stuff, much in the vein of bands like Exocrine, Contrarian, Beyond Creation, Obscura, and other progressive bands. With even a little more than some of the fore mentioned bands have. They may have to grow on you a little more, but they do, in my case it took a while. But definitely worth it after a few listenes.3.5 greatCrucifiction Portals To The BeyondGood old school death metal with elements of Malevolent Creation, Obscenity, Deicide, Morbid Angel and even a few newer Swedish bands such as Entrails, Nocturnal Hollow and the like. Just a great all around album with a lot of enjoyable music. Complex enough to be enjoyable, simple enough for the old school death metal enthusiasts. 3.0 goodDeserted Fear DoomsdayNot as good as Drowning In Humanity, but still a very solid album, after a few listens.Murder Made God Endless ReturnNot as good as the first 2 albums, it really lacks the technical prowess from the prior records. Actually going in more of a "Deathcore" direction at some points. Not to say it isn't good, just doesn't seem that as much effort was put into the song writing, or production. And the band were just playing it safe this time around. That being said, it's brutal, the vocals are very well produced, while the guitars sound muddy and unclear. Double bass throughout it a bit overkill, and really hinders the songs from having their own identity. Not much slower material, but there are a few songs that have a bit of groove. But if you're really looking for the best from these guys. As i'll say once again, you can't go wrong with the first two albums, much better production, songwriting and overall just a feel that more time and effort were put into those albums. But this is a solid 3 (good).2.0 poorAs I Lay Dying Shaped by Fire1.5 very poorByzantine The Cicada TreeGone are the creative odd time signatures, now replaced with Opeth like acoustical breaks, and far to much clean singing. A few good songs, but this is the worst I've heard from this band. I miss the days when they were on Prosthetic records. The last few releases have been very poor. Especially due to various member changes, mainly the lead guitarist Tony. Very boring, and the clean singing is just awful1.0 awfulOpeth In Cauda VenenumI'll go back and listen to Madonna's new album now, thanks.
