Pretty sure I mentioned it already, but I gotta bring it up again... the latest Elder album is pretty fucking great, little more proggy than Dead Roots Stirring, but damn it's got some great riffs and leads

I particularly like this Soilwork tune, that chorus gets me every time

I suspect they're Kerrang material, but I've been obsessed with Karnivool since I saw them a few years back. Reminds me of Tool but this resonates more deeply to me.

Also I re-ripped this excellent ep from Ephel Duath (RIP), good shit, I like the metal growls following the guitars closely.

Definite shout outs to Genghis Tron as well. I love this track especially (less metal, more electronic, but fuckin great).

Wow, this thread is really going down the drain now.

some more of my fav tunes, all great albums

lol Nile is so fucking ridiculous. That track at least has a somewhat followable structure, but I remember borrowing one of their albums from a friend and it just sounded like a joke, everything was impossible 700bpm blast beats all the way

edit: this track

It just gets to a point where it's not even heavy/brutal anymore haha.. and hey, I like Necrophagist

Nile's Black Seeds of Vengeance is a masterpiece.

haha, I wouldn't compare the two, really. Hey, I like melodic breakdowns as much as I like growls, what are you gonna do about it

I'm into my fair share of super fast stuff e.g. Cattle Decapitation, Necrophagist, etc but that Nile album really didn't do it for me. Is there a better start for them? I like blast beats but when they're pointlessly fast it kinda ruins it.. makes Cannibal Corpse sound like a doom metal band in comparison

you're triggering all sorts of awful highschool memories

Nile is fucking sick, Karl Sanders is a beast. As has been mentioned Black Seeds of Vengeance and In Their Darkened Shrines (my personal fav) are amazing, I'd also add Annihilation of the Wicked to that list of essentials... that 3 album streak is pure gold.

Ithyphallic is probably their weakest album but I still found it pretty decent. This reminds me I really haven't given At The Gate of Sethu much of a listen yet, suppose I should get on that.

Yeah, pretty much agree, but Black Seeds is mye favourite. It has the most proper production, the best songs, etc.

Looking forward to their next album, sounds like they've toned down the wankier sides and focused on sheer brutality.
