Razor posted:It's not the best song on its album. Also, the production is fine; so what if it wasn't recorded on an 8-track player in a forest? There are certain black metal albums that I think can benefit from good production(I like 1184 and Carriers of Dust, for instance) but black/thrash basically always works better if it's raw and dirty. Doesn't need to be S.V.E.S.T or Burzum or something, but I don't think production as crystal clear as this works with the music.

Absu, Blood Tsunami, and Toxic Holocaust are all excellent black/thrash bands that have decent production values. I know the first two are surprisingly disliked around here, but NMD creams itself over Toxic Holocaust all the time.

Different strokes, I guess; about a year ago I would've been eating this stuff up.

Death Rotisserie posted:The new Blut Aus Nord is loving fantastic. I was doubtful that Vindisval could put out a successor to Memoria Vetusta I but having listen to this album about half a dozen times, it really does feel like MVII. Definitely top 10 of 2009 material. Holy poo poo yes! I love every album from BaN (perhaps not Ultima Thulee), but Memoria Vetusta I has been the favourite. And they manage to create the same atmosphere on the new album. The opening riffs on Disciple's Liberation is loving great! Tingles down my spine.

I agree, a little fuzz in black/thrash sets that erie, grim mood thats so pleasing to the senses.

So the other day I put in Immortal's At the Heart of Winter in my car stereo for the first time. Why had I not listened to this before. All I really listened to of theirs before was Sons of Northern Darkness, and I enjoyed it, but didn't listen to it much. but this... is all their other stuff like this?

At the Heart of Winter rules but their best album is Pure Holocaust. It's one of the best black albums ever made. Get all their albums except for blizzard beasts. They all have good tracks except for BB.

You'd think with the lineup they had on the album it may have been their best, but start to finish it's just garbage production wise which simply makes it unlistenable. I always hear people saying it's their best though.
