  1. Re TON I would say Slow, Deep & Hard is probably the album of theirs. I play the most, though I enjoy most of whathey put out. On Swedeath Grave are probably the most consistent band from that scene, as far as quality goes. Borknagar have one album I like, and Enslaved are a mixed bag, I really don’t go for their more progressive stuff.
  2. Well dive right in, I promise we don’t bite… Well, not that often, anyway
  3. Abhorrea - Depths (2024) {USA} Hmm this is kind of confused, at least that’s how it sounds to me. There are some interesting ideas here but overall mid tier black/Death
  4. Infernal greetings to thee… or you know welcome aboard. Most of us prefer the more extreme side of metal, so you’ll probably fit in just fine.
  5. Ancient North - The Dark Ages (2024) {USA} it’s quite rare to find symphonic black metal where the symphonic elements don’t detract from the overall package. On first listen I’d say this manages that balance quite well though. Admittedly, I’m only about a quarter of the way through.
  6. I mean, tempting, but I’m gonna say no… And by no, I mean hell no… Find like 99% sure that being Australian my heart would literally stop if I ever experienced that kind of cold. Also my problem just required me doing a system restore to a couple of weeks ago to fix while yours could be literally anything, my vague understanding of how to fix simple to moderate PC issues isn’t gonna help you, I’m afraid.
  7. Good news, i’ve got my computer working again, a task which has literally taken the entire day.
  8. A/Oratos - Ecclesia Gnostica (2024) {France} Black Metal with the melodic sensibility you’d expect. I think this would be better without some of the out of place clean/spoken word sections.
  9. That’s interesting, and while I do agree that discovering an album years if not decades, after it was originally recorded, doesn’t give you the same feeling as being there in the moment it doesn’t stop me from being struck by some Albums that I’ve found after the fact. Actually, mine could be a somewhat unique case as my metal journey essentially started with the 70s and 80s, hard rock or traditional metal bands uncovering thrash several he is later, then stumbling onto the extreme metal side of things further down the line. And even then I started with the early death and black metal scenes before progressing into the 90s, and beyond, almost like I started at the beginning of the heavy music timeline and progressed through in a linear fashion.
  10. Well I guess it’s time I give my two cents as well: Dreamweaver get my vote purely for the melody line in Clerical Conspiracy which always makes me think of the John Williams, Star Wars score for some reason. Apart from that, I find both albums interchangeable, I would probably listen to the Japanese Sabbat more often. Re Dark Angel I think darkness descends is probably the best work, time does not heal a close, second, but I never liked leave scars at all.
  11. A/Oratos - Ecclesia Gnostica out Jan. 19 listening to the preview on BC, it seems somewhat typical of the French black metal style.
  12. Abyssal Frost - The Pyre of Flames (2024) Fairly standard black/death. Nothing wrong with this but nothing special either.
  13. Update: I’m installing office again in the hope that resolves the issue, if not, I don’t know what I’m going to do. Edit: all that did was blue screen my PC…
  14. well it would seem that PC issues are doing the rounds here at MF. Currently, I’m unable to open any of my documents, bootup, word, or any other Microsoft programs, just getting a default, the program loaded incorrectly message. Bearing in mind, the computer is barely six months old, and I have a lifetime product, key. I know it isn’t the license for office suite expiring, that’s about all I know.
  15. Alright i’m going to level with you here, I was kind of poking fun at the OP assuming They wanted catchy, feel good stuff, and recommending the most depressing album I could think of at the time instead. Now that I actually think about it though there is a lot of Funeral Doom which has a meditative quality to it.
  16. Feel good metal huh? Something tells me Worship’s Last Tape Before Doomsday fails the vibe check?
  17. Iron Firmament - s/t (2024) solid enough, competent BM, not a fan of the drum tone though
  18. I’m a break from the goa pen I see, good album though I’d have thought too melodic for your standards? NP: Pantera - CFH
  19. Alrighty so I’ve been scouring the internet for 2024 releases, so far that’s search has given me two albums that I think are pretty decent Lair - The Hidden Shiv it’s not revolutionary by any means, but it’s some pretty solid sludge Deconsecrated - Ascension in the Altar of Condemned I would describe this as dawn of possession meets Covenant, the Immolation and Morbid Angel influence is there without the whole album. Just feeling like feel good throwback death metal. influence is there without the whole album. Just feeling like feel good throwback death metal. Okay, now that is over with: bestial piglord - essence of brown supposedly, experimental sludge, but I’m just not hearing it. Dude needs to get back in the lab and try some different ingredients because this experiment failed… Crossroad - the funeral path alright, let’s lay down some ground rules shall we? You don’t get to be an alleged doom metal band, call your album, the funeral path, and have absolutely nothing to do with funeral doom! No instead, it’s, actually, barely even doom might as well be a traditional metal album, honestly. there was a third album. I was going to talk about, but honestly, it was such forgettable death metal that I’ve already forgotten the band and the album title.
  20. Ondskapt - dodens evangelion (2005)
  21. Horna - Askel lähempänä Saatanaa (2013)
  22. Horna / Sacrificial Mortuorum - split (2010)
