Slayer - Reign in Blood

"Erosion...." took a couple of spins to settle with me.  I found "Considered Dead" to be far more instant on my pallette.  "Obscura" is a lot to take in yes but is worth the effort I find.  "From Wisdom..." has always occupied a soft spot in collection, not a bad record just a bit of a step down energy wise after "Obscura".  Whilst I accept FatherA's criticism of the lengthy aspect of "Colored Sands" it still stands up as a fantastic monument of musical exploration which is only bettered by "Pleiade's Dust".

Yea it sucks that cd gets ripped on as much as it does but still my fave I mean Spirit In Black, c'mon now, how's anyone going to rip on that one

Earlier I blitzed the house cleaning to Metallica "And Justice.." 
Never gets old that record always spilling over with "fuck the system and no mom I am not going to school today" thrash metal mentality.  Now playing:
Akhlys "The Dreaming I"
 

Osmose , Candlelight, Profound Lore, Season of Mist, early Peaceville all come to mind.

Old Peaceville is untouchable. Autopsy, Darkthrone, Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Anathema, how the hell do you top that lineup?

Moribund, Peaceville, Head Not Found.

Glenfiddich...oh wait different kind of label.

Hi I have joined a metal forum, I am not exactly a metal fan but I do write metal - or should I say - aggressive music

I'm really not sure what it is or what to say but hi and I hope I can learn a lot from the folks here.

I've been playing guitar for 4 years. I was first inspired by country music, because that was the main thing I listened to when I was young. But I was more inspired to play guitar after I got into rock music, because the guitar riffs in rock songs are AWESOME. Sometimes, listening to good guitarists inspires me to play. When I watch Jimi Hendrix play the fool out of his Strat during "Killing Floor" at Monterey Pop, I think "Man, I wish I could play like that." That inspires me. Also, watching School of Rock inspires me to play. I am also inspired to play after listening to James Hetfield's story of playing guitar when he was at Guitar Center.

For whether on not I find spirituality through music, it depends on what the song is about. For example, Metallica's "Holier Than Thou" reminds me that I shouldn't judge people, because I also have flaws. I find spirituality in this song, because it represents a Bible verse: "Judge not, lest ye be judged." 

Last few:
Manowar - Sign of the Hammer
Manowar - Kings of Metal
Marduk - Dark Endless
Marduk - Those of the Unlight
Marduk - Opus Nocturne

Vivaldi!!!!
 
A flight attendant or a pilot

Hmm good question. Black metal band as it better fits my mood at present.
 
Coffee or tea

Two of the longest running and most consistent metal labels that I've come across, especially in their earlier years, are Osmose and Peaceville. I don't know that I could pinpoint another label that has released as much top tier material as those two, but there are plenty of other labels that have an abundance of great artists, like Profound Lore, in addition to the ones listed by Midi.

Merged these threads since I don't believe any album, regardless of quality, deserves two threads devoted to it. Been around a year since we last did an in-depth clean up so I may get started on that over the coming weekend.

Which I hope is Obscura. Everything after that is totally worthwhile, and don't miss Negativa's self-titled EP (featuring Luc and Steeve from the Obscura lineup), which is the natural heir to that dissonant, textural sound. Colored Sands is fantastic and a great comeback for them, but it's a bit long-winded. Pleiades' Dust does everything Colored Sands wanted to do, and does it more elegantly. Fucking amazing. Seems like the kind of thing you might really enjoy, given your interest in avant garde DM.

A pilot 'cause when you hear 'this is your captain speaking. Umm would someone mind looking out the window and telling me where the landing strip is?'...
 
News anchor or investigative journalist?
(I know which I'd choose. You stay classy San Diego)

Willie Nelson for no adequately explained reason.
 
Vivaldi or Wagner

Yeah that friggin' sucks Macabre.
 
I appreciate my housemate and her crazy ideas.

Yikes. That sounds horrible. I've always made it worse every time I've tried to clean my ears when they were full of wax or fluid. Had a really bad time while I was mixing "Abject", one of my ears was completely stopped. I read an article about some famous mixing or mastering guy who recently went deaf in one ear, scary thought!

Cephalic Carnage - Anomalies

There's quite a few acts that I'd add into it but I suppose the traffic on the forum doesn't always reward time spent creating sections with prolonged usage afterwards.  Might think about adding something in the "Other Metal" section later as a new thread.

You're welcome...

I sense a pattern...
