Revenge is so fucking good and the new album is def one of their best. They pretty much always follow the same formula, but they've really stepped up everything with this and their last record.
Mobilization Rites was a really great track. I always assumed war metal was super cheesy viking crap but apparently it's legit if this album's anything to go by
Also liking the new Cryptopsy EP, The Book of Suffering. Heavier than a lot of their recent stuff, and I've been constantly impressed with how disturbing their lyrics are.
I've only recently gotten into them. I'm jumping around their discography a lot, so I haven't hit their deathcore album yet. none so vile is pretty amazing, but i don't get how much praise the vocals get. i can't hear words, like at all, just grunts. the variation in vocal styles is pretty impressive and effective, but there's still a slight disconnect for me when I can't detect words being said at all.
The musicianship is where that album really shines, though, and the section in Crown of Horns at 3:10 or so is one of most crushing things I've ever heard.
I went through RYM's top 2015 albums and I couldn't believe how many metal albums were in the top 100 I'd never heard of so I made a list of ones to check and it's massive.
It's too bad exercises in futility runs long because it could've been an instant classic. I probably like it more than Robbie does, and it's an album I enjoy coming back to despite its flaws.
I'm sad Imperial Triumphant didn't crack the top 100 on rym, it deserves so much more attention. Easily my metal album of the year.
a few more bands to add to Robbie's list (all of which I also fully endorse): Cruciamentum, Krallice, Ad Nauseam, Sulphur Aeon.
Just discovered this band on Profound Lore, some slightly psychedelic black metal with saxophone on a couple tracks. This album is awesome. Band is called A.M.S.G., which is an acronym for some satanic nonsense
I'm not overly thrilled with that A.M.S.G. record, but it might grow on me. I have trouble listening to this kind of production (lo-fi?) for extended periods of time.
