Mutiilation - Vampires of Black Imperial Blood Bolt Thrower - The IVth Crusade Crypt of Kerberos - World of Myths

Perhaps because it's a death metal album, though it still slays

Pestilence - Malleus Maleficarum

I can't comment on the band, it's a while I don't listen to Mind Wars. Keep in mind though, sometimes this logic does not apply to every band. If *number of times a band gets mentioned* = *quality of their music*, by this standard Cannibal Corpse or Six Feet Under could be consider better than The Chasm or Brutality, which put a lot more emphasis on songwriting and coherent riffs.

Generally I enjoy to talk more about things I like rather than things I dislike, but I think Carpathian Forest are absolutely disgraceful

I went on a little vacation with a few friends for Easter, and took several photos too. Too bad I can't share them here, I am only allowed to upload 481.28kb. Sea was absolutely stunning though. Sometimes I like to escape the monotony of urban life and reconnect with nature

Sarcófago - INRI

I know you are pretty big on Corrupted, should have included them too

I'll choose 1995 for my list. It wasn't a particularly memorable year for metal if compared to the early '90s, especially for the more extreme subgenres... still plenty of good releases though. 1) Dissection - Storm of The Light's Bane 2) Suffocation - Pierced From Within 3) Ulver - Bergtatt - Et eeventyr i 5 capitler 4) Ved Buens Ende - Written in Waters 5) Skepticism - Stormcrowfleet 6) Order From Chaos - Dawnbringer 7) Mütiilation - Vampires of Black Imperial Blood 8) Molested - Blood Draum 9) Necromantia - Scarlet Evil Witching Black 10) Crowbar - Time Heals Nothing

Coroner - Mental Vortex Morbid Saint - Spectrum of Death Dark Angel - Darkness Descends Slayer - Hell Awaits Infernäl Mäjesty - None Shall Defy Sacrifice - Forward to Termination Demolition Hammer - Tortured Existence Obliveon - From This Day Forward Rigor Mortis - S/T Sadus - Swallowed in Black

I'm definetely not a fan of Malmsteen, but this song has a cool vibe

They played hardcore punk back in the day, but switched to death metal later on. The album is pretty good, nothing that hasn't been done yet though. It reminds me of an amalgamation between Revenge and Nails, but with cavernous vocals

Of Feather and Bone - Bestial Hymns Of Perversion

Arghoslent - Hornets of The Pogrom The band does not have an immaculate reputation due to their beliefs, but every riff is just amazing, and I can't help but to admire the great songwriting.

Nope, it's just select titles. But most of them are quite good, there is even Manilla Road.

I was listening to a couple of Hell's Headbangers compilations, they have 6 available for free on their site. From what I've heard there is mainly Zemial, Profanatica, Destroyer 666, Midnight and Acid Witch, but overall those comps are all pretty good. I'm also waiting to receive a package from them, hopefully will come within a few weeks (there is a limited offer, and you can choose 10 CDs and a couple of stickers for a decent price)

Power metal is one of my least favorite subgenres, but this album is great in my opinion. Mephisto is basically the result of an illicit relationship between Mercyful Fate and Slayer

Riffy black metal is usually really good, from my own experience.

That's great. I share similar thoughts for Rotting Christ as well. I believe Non Serviam was probably their last completely essential album, but I enjoy the rest of the discography quite a lot. The Hellenic scene is fascinating

Esoptron is my least favorite out of their trilogy too, but it's still a great album. I don't know if you guys care about their later works though.

Septicflesh - Esoptron

They switched to goth rock in the early 2000s, and I agree that their later material isn't that good. I find Shadows of the Past to be pretty nice though

Sentenced - North From Here

Thanks for mentioning Sadistic Intent, Sarpanitum and Shub Niggurath, these are all great bands. I have yet to check out Shtygma though
