my wife surprised the fuck out of by gifting me battles in the north from immortal on cd a few weeks ago, i only had it on tape years ago and i blew a load of grim frostcum when i heard it on my soundsystem, album is an absolute must have!!

That is true!

Btw, I don't think anybody mentioned Elder - Lore, as far as 2015 highlights are concerned.

 

^We had a talk about it a few pages back, great album, great band

Oh nice, I liked the first album quite a bit, gonna have to check out this one

Yeah, I've been listening pretty obsessively to the Radio Fenrizs (Radio Fenrii?), there's so much great stuff in them!

What I listened to when I was in a Dopesmoker mood, before I discovered Dopesmoker:

Came across these guys lately, pretty decent doom/stoner metal.

This made me nostalgic for a grubby past that I never actually lived

Been giving the new Yellow Eyes a listen this week, it's gnarly:

missed everything metal last year thanks to the afx sounddump but this week i catched up and treated myself to some excellent releases i totally missed in 2015, highly recommand it to anyone so check em out!

the first 3 bands are active for 20years(!) and released maybe their best work just now

 

dodheimsgard - a umbra omega

excellent production, and so much stuff going it's gonna take me a while to digest but totally worth sinking your teeth in, i love the artwork asswell

 

Kamfar - Profan

i'm a total sucker for norwegian black metal and this is top notch

Solefald - World Metal,Kosmopolis sud

i'v always been a huge fan of this crazy band but they outdonne themself this time and released a variated to absolute fucking max album without a single weak moment, can't believe i missed this, i am total fuckin hype about this album, support these true musicians and seriously do yourselfs a favor and buy this album!!!

 

Black cilice - mysteries

necro vomit caveman black metal from the most stench ridden casket

this sounds like it was recorded with a potatoe in a morgue, by the end of the tracks there is headache feedback all over the place excellent black metal with a vocalist that sounds like a fart in a coffin

also been downloading my massive pile of "metal" cd's on my laptop, came a cross some forgotten jewels you at least should check out

Hypocrisy - The fourth dimension

simple, variated and catchy songs with excellent production, my favorite hypocrisy album

 

Brodequin - instruments of torture

this is so fucking brutal and beef like fuck, absolute destruction and a classic!

 

Impaled Nazarene - tol comp norz norz norz

i can't believe this is from 1991, a delightfull obscure cacaphony of true shroomhell on earth, their first album and it's my favorite

more to follow, i am so back into fucking metal lol

Abbath's solo album is pretty decent!

 

Also, I like Jesu/Sun Kil Moon.

 

And Ulver's new album has some metal-ish moments even!

can anyone recommend some good Thrash metal albums?

bit of an odd connection - but was watching Power Rangers the other night, and it sparked a sudden urge to listen to some

Kreator - Coma of Souls is a classic

 

also check out Nervosa, they're a current all-female thrash band from brazil, fucking excellent

 

umm, most of the thrash I listen to is kinda proggy though, Contradictions Collapse by Meshuggah sounds like what Metallica would have made after Justice if they'd continued with the prog style (except with better guitar solos, drumming, vocals, everything really).

Oh damn, thank for the headsup on the new Kampfar, Ivan. I hadn't even heard any news about that anywhere, but definitely need to check that soon. Djevelmakt was amazing.

Don't get your hopes up too high, it's really not a metal album at all. It does, however feature more electric guitar and Glammer Hammer, for instance, gets pretty heavy and sludgy post-rockish. To an extent that Swans came to mind, it would be a crazy good collaboration, at this point of both bands' careers.

ooo great suggestion - big Meshuggah fan, but never listened to their old stuff - will defo check

 

shall also give Kreator a go - more so looking for some 'classic' stuff, so will leave Nervosa till later

The drummer in this band is an animal, really delivers in the closing track

Not conventional thrash, much more progressive. If you like this singing style you'll probably love it, dude is a bit much for me at times but the band as a whole are on point. Not something I'll listen to all the time but when I do it gets me amped.

Easily the best thrash album I've heard in years. Absolutely destroys.

nothing is more metal then sadistik exekution

Atheist are among my all time metal faves, yeah! I still to this day regret not going to see them when they supported Candlemass back in 1991, just a couple of months before Roger Patterson died. Was a broke teenager, so sadly couldn't go. Did catch them a couple of times more recently, which was a rather mixed experience.
