Wald Geist Winter- "Siegreich ist das Eis"

I love when raw black metal bands only write about winter-related topics lol.

Impaled- "The Dead Shall Dead Remain"

Funeral- "Black Flame of Unholy Hate"

Conqueror- "War.Cult.Supremacy"

If it is possible to listen to this an unhealthy amount of times, then I have undoubtedly done so.

Blasphemy- "Blood Upon the Altar"

Gorguts- "From Wisdom to Hate"

It's been a while. I'm glad to revisit this, especially on vinyl.

Conqueror- "War.Cult.Supremacy"

This has been an every-day thing for weeks now, maybe longer lol.

Wavves - Nine is God

Good stuff. I saw them live a few years ago. Still amazed that we were able to sneak a joint in and smoke it in the building. 

NP:

Unholy Archangel- "Kataclysmic Perversions"

Just fantastic black/death stuff. Reminds me of the old Spear of Longinus material, at times.

NP: Satanic Warmaster - 'Opferblut'

The album cover here is so familiar... I just can't put my finger on it...

 

Haha i bet some dumbass has it as their profile pic on a site you visit.

If it is with SW, then I think I should be able to find it!

From what I have heard, the split with Evil is pretty good to (at least the Evil side, that is).

Yes! I know forsure that both sides of the Vothana/Evil split are on YouTube for the time being. 

NP:

Gorguts- "Obscura"

I really need to get over it and check his stuff out more seriously.  I have liked the few tracks that I have heard.

I particularly enjoy the split with Satanic Warmaster. If you're not able to find it, I can message you a link.

I keep meaning to check this band out, but the drama surrounding the limitation keeps pushing me away!  Some of his stuff recently sold for over $1000 on discogs not long ago.

I hear that. Ya gotta jump on it when the labels first put them up for sale. The stuff is fantastic, though. You can find some of it on YouTube and probably some downloads on various websites.

Vothana- "Commando"

Did anyone else get their hands on this? Loving it more with every listen

Blasphemy- "Blood Upon the Altar"

Vlad Tepes/Belketre - 'March to the Black Holocaust'

I've got the 2013 Drakkar re-release, but even they go for a lot of money these days. A rare and rewarding split that I bring out on a full moon, when the red wine is overflowing its cup. 

Well said, Req. Cheers!

I only discovered it recently. Wasn't familiar the band 'back in the day', and in more recent years I only knew them for the Benton material (which I am yet to be able to enjoy, much as I have always been a bit of a sucker for Deicide). But this album is gold, anyway; and I'm thinking that I probably need to pick up the other non-Benton albums now too.

Ah, yes I'm not so big on the Benton stuff anymore. It's got some catchy hooks. I'll give them that much. And yeah, "Into Cold Darkness" and "Forever Underground" are awesome.

Vothana- "Commando"

Been listening to this tape intermittently throughout the week. Gets better every time

Vital Remains - Let Us Pray

One of my all-time death metal favorites

Mortician- "Mortal Massacre/Brutally Mutilated"

Starting to like Brutally Mutilated almost as much as Mortal Massacre. Hail Will Rahmer

Vothana- "Commando"

New Vothana came in the mail a couple days ago. I've gotten a couple listens in. I'd say it's just as great as expected.

Mortician- "Mortal Massacre"

Two things that will always stay with me, regarding this EP:

1) 12 and 1/2 minutes. I've had times taking a number 2 that were longer than that, and yet they established the perfect brutal death metal sound in that short time. 

2) 1991. It is ridiculous how heavy this is for it's time. The only bands who were around at the time that I'd put on this scale of utter crushing aural assault are Blasphemy and Sarcófago, and of course Sarcófago was already done with the ultra heavy stuff. 

Taake- "Nattestid... "

Fuckin love the drummer on this album

Antichrist- "Sacrament of Blood"

Definitely in my top 5 war metal albums

Gorguts - From Wisdom to Hate

On the notes in the CD booklet, Lemay describes this record as one he is very proud of.  

"We were able to maintain the musical vocabulary and aesthetic found on 'Obscura' but in a less abrasive and chaotic way...Now, with a step back, it seems to me that 'From Wisdom to Hate' would have been a more natural and logical progression to 'Erosion Of Sanity'"

I agree with him on the less abrasive front, but to be honest I kind of wanted a bit more of that on this record.  Compositionally it does start to lay groundwork for Colored Sands I can hear but I often used to debate that this should have been, as Lemay describes above, the album between the sophomore and Obscura.  I think whichever album came after Obscura was going to be a step down in terms of that chaos that Luc alludes to in his notes.  Some how though if history had been different and Colored Sands ended up following Obscura I still would have loved both records.

Great insight, there. I also think "From Wisdom to Hate" could have used some more of that chaotic vibe which characterized much of "Obscura".

NP: Taake- "Nattestid... "

Welcome! Darkthrone and Bathory are a couple of my favorites as well. Cheers!!
