October Tide - Rain Without End (2009) US reissue
- When I saw this, I was just flipping through the miscellaneous metal CD's at Soundgarden (in Syracuse, NY) and briefly saw it. I flipped. I didn't realize the rerelease had already come out. VERY happy. Now I own both.


Negură Bunget - Om (2006)

It has been a while since i updated my albums list so i decided it was time again. This is going to be a fairly long list though :P


Artillery - Terror Squad

One of the classic 80's Thrash albums. Artillery were and still are one of the top all time thrash metal bands, with their energy, technicallity and not entirely sane sounding vocals. This 2nd album of theirs has improved production compared to their first but without losing any energy and aggression. A definite recommendation to all thrash fans!


Carcass - Necroticism - Descanting the Insalubrious
Despite this rather horrid album cover this is another classic. In my opinion this is carcass best work and even the best straight up grind/death album of all time. This album has quite allot of catchy songs and awesome riffing. A recommendation for all fans of Death and Grind, even for all fans of extreme metal.


Hellhammer - Demon Entrails
I saw this in my local music store and just had to buy it. This is a good complimation of 3 classic demos by Hellhamer, you can basically hear them change from a rawer venom to something very unique and ahead of their time. To some it might sound aged but i disagree entirely, this stuff wont age ever with its raw energy. This is for all fans of black metal



Hirax - Not Dead Yet
The last release of hirax in the 80's shows them why they became underground legends. Fast, furious crossover thrash combined with..... Christian lyrics! Yes good christian bands do exist! Hirax was one of the first bands to use blast beats, maybe even the first. Seeing Destroy was recorded and released in 1985, which was 2 years before scum by napalm death was released. As a extra this album has footage from a gig by hirax in 1987. Not the best quality but very interesting to watch. This release breathes THRAAAAAAAASSSSHHHH awesomity and is a must have.



Lykathea Aflame - Elvenefris

This is in my opinion one of the most interesting and best metal releases ever. This is Progressive Technical Athmospheric Melodic Death/Grind. Quite a mouthfull no? Well this is album is brutal yet uplifting. This album breathes a positive athmosphere despite you being crushed by blasting and heavy riffing. Its like you are being crushed by a giant group hug or a big carebear. Is that the only reason its good? No, for these do nothing wrong. The song structures are good, the riffing is very nice. The only flaw for some people maybe is the snare tone. I like it but allot of people dont. None the less a real must have.

img]http://img1.liveinternet.ru/images/attach/b/2/24/982/24982383_Manowar_Kings_of_Metal.jpg

Manowar - Kings of Metal

Manowar requires no introduction. This is simply a classic heavy metal album. Nice riffing, good solos quality vocals. Nothing special and out of the ordinary but still a very solid effort. If you like metal there is no reason not to get this!



Manilla Road - Voyager

Manilla Road might be the ultimate definition of a good metal band. Underground, no comprimize of its sound for the sake of selling more albums and always releasing quality albums. Voyager is no different from the past efforts. Quality, and fresh. This time adding what sounds like a bit of death metal. Some say its only because shelton had problems with his throat but i think its more than just some of the vocals. This album however has worse production than Crystal logic, which is quite a feat considering crystal logic is from 1983. However its still very listenable.



Moonsorrow - Tulimyrsky

Moonsorrow struck again.... A year after what i consider the best viking metal release yet. Moonsorrow released again something special, however this isnt the best they have done either, the new title track is good not great. The covers and the new versions of all songs are better yet also not incredible. The production on the kickdrum isnt great either. Sounds too triggered i think. None the less still a very solid effort. Just dont get this before their older albums.



Morbid Angel - Formulas Fatal to the Flesh

Morbid Angel is another band that needs no introduction. A classic floridan death metal act with the most influential death metal drummer of them all. Yet i think this album from 1998 is better than their early ones. Sure this isnt as infuential and groundbreaking but this album just has better songs from a 2008 perspective. Prayer of Hatred was the first song i tried playing on my guitar. I hope that says enough.



Negura Bunget - 'n crugu bradului

Negura Bunget is something different. I picked these 2 Negura Bunget albums up after their (awesome) gig in Hengelo. This is athmospheric/folk black metal at its finest. I cant really go in depth on their albums however due to them being kind of hard to describe and me being mostly with their(out of print) older material


Negura Bunget - Om

The second album i picked up after the gig of Negura Bunget and their newest.



Obituary - Slowly we rot

Ahh yes, Obituary, this is in my opinion the best old school death metal band. Their first 4 albums are just crushing, heavy and awesome. One of the heaviest bands of all time for sure. Obituary always focused more on heavyness than being fast and it works out very well. This debut of theirs is their fastest effort. Yet still really heavy.



Obituary - Cause of Death

This is the 2nd release by Obituary. This album is another great one. The difference between this one and their debut is that this one is slower and has i think better lead guitar.



Obituary - The End Complete

The third album of obituary is quite similar to Cause of Death, this one is however more riffy.



Obituary - World Demise

This is the final album of the classic 4 obituary albums. This one is their more tribal and experimental album and has i think the best Lyrics. The vocals are also less harsh on this one. Being the closest to normal singing of all Obituary albums. In the end all these Obituary are must haves. Awesome Death metal. If you dont like the average death metal band because its too fast, this might also be for you.



Otargos - Ten Eyed Nemesis

Otargos is a underground black metal band from France. They have a very unsual lyrical theme. Its basically satanism meets physics here. However on this album its closer to satanism than quantum physics than their 2nd album. This is my favorite straight up black metal record. This is well produced and has awesome catchy riffs and solos. Something every black metal fan should have.


Mezarkabul - Anatolia

Mezarkabul is arguably the biggest metal band from Turkey. Formerly known as pentagram they changed their name to avoid confusing and getting sued. This is their first of their folk/power albums. No this is not folk/power like Falconer, if anything this is more like US Power metal meets folk. This album differs from their later ones mostly in terms of being less folky. A great album none the less.



Mezarkabul - Unspoken

This is my personal favorite Mezarkabul album. This is their best combination of turkish music and power metal. No real flaws on this album.



Mezarkabul - Bir

This album never got released outside of Turkey. So its rather hard to get. Unless you go to turkey. I dont like this album as much as their previous 2 due to the vocals. However this is still good.



Overkill - Feel the Fire

Thraaaaaaaaaaaashhhhh!!!!. Thats basically what this album is by the oldest Thrash band in the world. This album throws quality thrash riffs at you with more energy than the average thrash album from 1985. This album certainly shows why Overkill should get more praise than metallica for being founders of Thrash metal.



Septicflesh - Communion

Septic Flesh is a big name in the greek metal underground but not so much outside of greece. However this should and must change with this excellent album. This is the best metal album with a orchestra that i have ever heard. No orchestra for the sake of it no, it is combined with the death metalness to make it a excellent album. A real candidate for album of the year 2008.

It has been a while since i updated my albums list so i decided it was time again. This is going to be a fairly long list though :P


Artillery - Terror Squad

One of the classic 80's Thrash albums. Artillery were and still are one of the top all time thrash metal bands, with their energy, technicallity and not entirely sane sounding vocals. This 2nd album of theirs has improved production compared to their first but without losing any energy and aggression. A definite recommendation to all thrash fans!


Carcass - Necroticism - Descanting the Insalubrious
Despite this rather horrid album cover this is another classic. In my opinion this is carcass best work and even the best straight up grind/death album of all time. This album has quite allot of catchy songs and awesome riffing. A recommendation for all fans of Death and Grind, even for all fans of extreme metal.


Hellhammer - Demon Entrails
I saw this in my local music store and just had to buy it. This is a good complimation of 3 classic demos by Hellhamer, you can basically hear them change from a rawer venom to something very unique and ahead of their time. To some it might sound aged but i disagree entirely, this stuff wont age ever with its raw energy. This is for all fans of black metal



Hirax - Not Dead Yet
The last release of hirax in the 80's shows them why they became underground legends. Fast, furious crossover thrash combined with..... Christian lyrics! Yes good christian bands do exist! Hirax was one of the first bands to use blast beats, maybe even the first. Seeing Destroy was recorded and released in 1985, which was 2 years before scum by napalm death was released. As a extra this album has footage from a gig by hirax in 1987. Not the best quality but very interesting to watch. This release breathes THRAAAAAAAASSSSHHHH awesomity and is a must have.



Lykathea Aflame - Elvenefris

This is in my opinion one of the most interesting and best metal releases ever. This is Progressive Technical Athmospheric Melodic Death/Grind. Quite a mouthfull no? Well this is album is brutal yet uplifting. This album breathes a positive athmosphere despite you being crushed by blasting and heavy riffing. Its like you are being crushed by a giant group hug or a big carebear. Is that the only reason its good? No, for these do nothing wrong. The song structures are good, the riffing is very nice. The only flaw for some people maybe is the snare tone. I like it but allot of people dont. None the less a real must have.

img]http://img1.liveinternet.ru/images/attach/b/2/24/982/24982383_Manowar_Kings_of_Metal.jpg

Manowar - Kings of Metal

Manowar requires no introduction. This is simply a classic heavy metal album. Nice riffing, good solos quality vocals. Nothing special and out of the ordinary but still a very solid effort. If you like metal there is no reason not to get this!



Manilla Road - Voyager

Manilla Road might be the ultimate definition of a good metal band. Underground, no comprimize of its sound for the sake of selling more albums and always releasing quality albums. Voyager is no different from the past efforts. Quality, and fresh. This time adding what sounds like a bit of death metal. Some say its only because shelton had problems with his throat but i think its more than just some of the vocals. This album however has worse production than Crystal logic, which is quite a feat considering crystal logic is from 1983. However its still very listenable.



Moonsorrow - Tulimyrsky

Moonsorrow struck again.... A year after what i consider the best viking metal release yet. Moonsorrow released again something special, however this isnt the best they have done either, the new title track is good not great. The covers and the new versions of all songs are better yet also not incredible. The production on the kickdrum isnt great either. Sounds too triggered i think. None the less still a very solid effort. Just dont get this before their older albums.



Morbid Angel - Formulas Fatal to the Flesh

Morbid Angel is another band that needs no introduction. A classic floridan death metal act with the most influential death metal drummer of them all. Yet i think this album from 1998 is better than their early ones. Sure this isnt as infuential and groundbreaking but this album just has better songs from a 2008 perspective. Prayer of Hatred was the first song i tried playing on my guitar. I hope that says enough.



Negura Bunget - 'n crugu bradului

Negura Bunget is something different. I picked these 2 Negura Bunget albums up after their (awesome) gig in Hengelo. This is athmospheric/folk black metal at its finest. I cant really go in depth on their albums however due to them being kind of hard to describe and me being mostly with their(out of print) older material


Negura Bunget - Om

The second album i picked up after the gig of Negura Bunget and their newest.



Obituary - Slowly we rot

Ahh yes, Obituary, this is in my opinion the best old school death metal band. Their first 4 albums are just crushing, heavy and awesome. One of the heaviest bands of all time for sure. Obituary always focused more on heavyness than being fast and it works out very well. This debut of theirs is their fastest effort. Yet still really heavy.



Obituary - Cause of Death

This is the 2nd release by Obituary. This album is another great one. The difference between this one and their debut is that this one is slower and has i think better lead guitar.



Obituary - The End Complete

The third album of obituary is quite similar to Cause of Death, this one is however more riffy.



Obituary - World Demise

I know what you, dear reader, might think while reading this - who in the dying world needs another thread about some name-dropping-groupie-fan-like-behaviour, but I guessed I should mention some of the darkest gems that are close to my heart. Included are milestones in their own right and loveable outcasts...and there are still many yet to be heard, but anyway, here it goes; (excuse my English, I´m still learning)
the list is in no particular order...
Enslaved -"Vikingligr Veldi" (LP/1994/Deathlike Silence/Voices of Wonder) I guess starting off with my most favorite would be the best way of creating this list. When I first witnessed the musical offerings of this mighty band (on the "Hordanes Land" EP), I was captured right on! Epic and lenghty songs, hypnotic riffs, beautiful, barbaric and the ability to draw cruel and frozen landscapes before your eye are just some of the words that sprawl out my mouth while thinking about this masterpiece. Essential stuff!
Aeternus -"Beyond the Wandering Moon" (LP/1997/Hammerheart) The debut album by a band that is often times underrated. Nowadays they incorporate more styles of death and dark metal, but this here is where it all began. No other record bears such a thick atmosphere!!! Folk-laden Pagan Black Metal at it´s best! The drumming is hyperfast (but nicely buried in the background), the riffs are a wall of white noise and it has just the right proportion of synthesizers to contribute to the overall atmosphere (yes, I´m using this word again since this is truly one of the most beautiful pieces to come out of the scene).
Burzum -"Filosofem" (LP/1996/Misanthropy) My favorite song by Varg must be "Det som en gang var" but as far as whole albums go, nothing comes close to this recording! Recorded in March 1993 with more work on sound effects and vocal arrangements than previous works, this truly stands as a milestone of mind provoking and touching musical achievement!
Gorgoroth -"Antichrist" (LP/1996/Malicious) Never again did they possess such atmosphere and brutality as in their beginnings! New compositions never seemed quite finished and since the only founding member of the band had to leave the sinking ship, the early age should be regarded as their milestone period. This album (if we dare speak so - it lasts only about 25 minutes), in particular, is a fine example of how ugly and filthy, but at the same time melodic and powerful, Norwegian extreme metal could be! Fantastic guitar work by Infernus and one of the most gruesome sounding vocalists of all black metal history (Pest, of Obtained Enslavement) mark this LP especially!
Mayhem -"De Mysteriis dom Sathanas" (LP/1994/Deathlike Silence/Voices of Wonder) Sadly "Dead" and "Euronymous" didn´t last to see their common work being released, but still, this masterpiece holds it all - an overall dark atmosphere driven by the monotonous and hypnotic riffing, ultra-fast drumming, sick delivery by the vocals (lyrically imagined mostly by the aforementioned Dead) and a production job that captures every instrument very clear and present. Flawless and rightfully cult!
Mysticum -"In the Streams of Inferno" (LP/1996/Full Moon) These sick bastards have probably released some of the most crushing music in the whole genre! They incorporated chainsaw guitar work (that serves only as the backbone of this destructive sound-wall) and mixed it all together with a hyper-fast drum programming, ultra-sick vocal style and the upholding of the occult and drug addiction (in order to foreshadow our demise) - it doesn´t get colder than this!
Strid -"Strid" (LP/2007Kyrck)
This album compiles all the material recorded by this troubled band...they are commonly viewed as the originators of depressive black metal (creating soul-devastating hymns before the likes of Burzum and Forgotten Woods). The band had gone through many name-changes (Malfeitor, Battle) and the vocalist had commited suicide along the way. Still, nothing could harm the endless dark beauty of the song material! Great musicianship and an overall atmosphere drenched in melancholy and hate. A hidden treasure for sure, but never forgotten!!!

Its been a little while but i have 5 new albums again!

Arcturus - Aspera Hiems Symfonia



This is a classic in the athmospheric/avant garde black metal field. It is dark, heavy and beautifull. Is it worth getting even if you are not into black metal? Totally.

Dies Irae - Sculpture of Stone



This a new album yet it is one of my favourite death metal albums. Why? because 1. the vocals are awesome. 2. The delicious riffs. This is Polish Tech Death at its Finest. Suitable for people not into Death metal? No not really but then why are you not into death metal?

Manilla Road - Crystal Logic


Sometimes theres a reverse relation between things. Like how good the album cover art is compared to the music itself. Well this is one good example of that. Simply put awesome epic heavy/power metal. Is it like hammerfall. No... This is the original kind of power metal. So allot less gay and allot infact incredibly more awesome. Get it now.

Stone - No Anaesthesia



Stone is one of my favourite bay area styled thrash bands. That they are from Finland does not really matter. Infact this is i guess Finnish bay area thrash as there is quite a difference. Are Stone up there with Metallia and such? Let me put it like this. I'd rather listen to this band then Metallica.

Enslaved - Eld



Enslaved kind of sounds like a anti christian satan worshipping band. While they are anti christian they support the viking pagan ideology albeit the modern version ofcourse. Anyway what about the music? Well its Viking/black metal. One of the best albums of the entire viking movement either but this is more of a vikingified black metal album then blackened viking metal. Is it a classic worth getting? Yes.
