Yeah I like their others much more. Opus is a bit hard to go back to honestly.

I don't even know what came from this decade, most of the metal music I listen to is older than me...
I think having a decade list now is pretty shitty anyway. 2019 isn't even over yet, and I doubt many releases this year got much consideration since they're so new and you don't know the impact. Wait until publications and such have figured out 2019's music.
Yeah, like say Nespithe, that's an album that I believe didn't get the notoriety it has now until YEARS afterwards. I'm sure other albums are similar but they're escaping my mind, was Disembowelment's album one that slowly gained reception?
I actually like that metalsucks list. Sure my personal top 25 list would be different but as a collective consensus of x amount of people it is actually decent. This might be the first time of looking at any "best of" music list that I can say i have at least listened to most of these albums. ( I'm mainstream! Suck it, Pitchforks top 200 few weeks back.)
I always do a double take when I see what bands and industry people are listening to. They don't really seem to go that much out of the metal-mainstream. That is of course a pretty generalizing statement, but it is kinda what that list signify.
In regards to Ghost, it is just damn catchy music. Though I would say that Meliora (Redux) ranks highest in catchyness. "Square Hammer" could almost carry an entire album filled with duds.

the results don't really surprise me, but I was hoping to see one of my favs
spawn of possession - incurso
krallice - diotima or ygg huur
scale the summit - the collective
deathspell omega - the synarchy of molten bones
vektor - terminal redux
maybe a blut aus nord album
dysrhythmia would probably find its way on there
also a tiny bit surprised @ no devin townsend. deconstruction maybe?

Holyfuck...totally blown away by this new Blood Incantation album. I loved every second of those 36 minutes. The Giza Power Plant is just...fucking incredible. This feels like it's my AOTY already.
This song/vid rules. I'll be addicted to this album for a long time.

Of course any list is going to be incredibly subjective by nature, but other than the numbering, I'd have to say this is pretty solid. To my tastes anyway.
I really enjoy the album but it's a bit deflating to wait this long feeling like "okay, every song they've put out is awesome, can't wait to finally hear the full thing" and then it comes out and it's like "oh i've already heard half of it and those were the best songs"

It leaked a few days ago when it was accidentally streamed on their bandcamp, which is pretty crazy considering it comes out 11/22 I think. It kicks so much ass
GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUYS! Someone reminded me BOLT THROWER exist but I don't know what album to start with. Like, they're fucking rad, but what's your favorite album so I can listen and then buy it?
also:
New Blattaria album out today
and also just picked this massive release which was unleashed last week

Ditto. I still maintain that Embers at the 2 minute mark is the heaviest, crunchiest, delectable riff that exists.
That said, you really can't go wrong with any Bolt Thrower album. Even Mercenary and Honour - Valour - Pride are decent. I'd actually recommend just starting at Realm of Chaos and working your forward.
I REALLY like mercenary
By the way, Spotify now has the first albums from From Ashes Rise, one of the best crust-punk/dbeat bands ever (from the same school as his hero it's gone, tragedy, deathreat...). These records are seriously perfect, not one single less than amazing song. And great great great lyrics too, btw.
Yeah, definitely The IVth Crusade tied with Those Once Loyal.
So far I've listened to the first 1/4 of The IVth Crusade and really dig it. Meant to continue but had to go run errands. Plan on finishing it tonight! Will probably go to my local record store and have 'em order me a copy if some still exist.
Never heard of this band before, but I guess I'll check it out.
EDIT: Just started it...not interesting. Vocals suck, I feel like I've heard this before.

Just heard of Orbit Culture from a Ola and Solar vlog. Looks like I'm a few pages behind.

That was pretty good, until that part came on. Will never get used to blending generic post grunge clean vocals with death metal.
Felt the same. The song was pretty decent until that point. Felt cheesy.
Odious Mortem has a new release on the way....
Never saw that one coming
12 years since the last release

Who has the best quality t-shirts of any band? For me, it is what Amon Amarth sells on Victorious Merch. Anyone else have any good recommendations?
Old man rant incoming
But like WTF why does no one know how to mix concerts anymore? If it's so loud you can't even hear the singer and it blows out people's ears what's the point. Turn the volume down so we can at least hear the musicians and not static.

I"ve largely been lucky enough to not experience this, but when I do I'm super fucking pissed off.
every damn arena show i go to is like this. waste of money when mixing sucks. at tool show this week some of the mixing was straight garbage tier.
lol i was there with you, dude. lol. schism sounded like fuzz 85% of the song. lol
I long for the day in which I can go to a metal concert and not have to worry about my hearing being permanently damaged
