this death ss song is well cool yeah
reminding me that van der graaf generator came THIS close to inventing extreme metal
― odysseus (imago), Tuesday, 23 February 2016 14:39 (eight years ago) link
that track is from 79 I think.

yeah this rules ty

Pretty sure they were an influence on hellhammer. No way Tom G Warrior hadnt heard them.
Paul Chain left Death SS and became a doom legend. Steve Sylvester (the SS in the name) kept going in a different style. 1st 2 or 3 albums of that era are great though. A band always ahead of their time

ok Terror is apparently from 1977. thats quite incredible
― The Call Of Cthulow (Cosmic Slop), Tuesday, 23 February 2016 14:51 (eight years ago) link
yeah i've put the compilation album on, it seems awesome and important
― odysseus (imago), Tuesday, 23 February 2016 14:52 (eight years ago) link
that album was my #3 I think.
― The Call Of Cthulow (Cosmic Slop), Tuesday, 23 February 2016 14:52 (eight years ago) link
I assume it's not gonna place now sadly
― The Call Of Cthulow (Cosmic Slop), Tuesday, 23 February 2016 14:53 (eight years ago) link
well, it IS a compilation...
― odysseus (imago), Tuesday, 23 February 2016 14:53 (eight years ago) link
really do get a VDGG vibe tho
― odysseus (imago), Tuesday, 23 February 2016 14:54 (eight years ago) link
I dunno what those guys would have been listening to then but I imagine they would have liked the heavy end of prog as well as the metal of its time

This whole rollout has been wonderful. What can I listen to this afternoon that will wake me up more than all the other albums (possibly combined)?

This has been fantastic. I don't honestly listen to as much metal as I should these days (I find listening to black metal physically painful: Ash Borer finally did for my ears), but I've been revisiting loads of great sounds, and loads of great memories. And I've had my nine year old screaming 'I hope you make sure we're properly dead before you start!' before breakfast so it's all good.
― Poacher (Chinaski), Tuesday, 23 February 2016 16:31 (eight years ago) link
xp
Will listen to this next. I've heard it before but not since my ears became more robust to metal.
― tangenttangent, Tuesday, 23 February 2016 16:31 (eight years ago) link
Ash Borer are great.

I've loved the sheer variety in the countdown, there's a lot of stuff I don't care for but it's cool seeing how it all has its place. I've made it my goal to listen to everything I haven't already heard - favourite discoveries so far: Virus and Sacramentum.

Virus mention made me pull out this album today, and reminds what a crime against nature and man that Carl-Michael Eide can't drum anymore.
― Dominique, Tuesday, 23 February 2016 18:43 (eight years ago) link
I really need to listen to Virus...
― odysseus (imago), Tuesday, 23 February 2016 18:46 (eight years ago) link
Oh my god.
― odysseus (imago), Tuesday, 23 February 2016 18:54 (eight years ago) link
xxp According to a recent promo shot for the next Virus album (out in June!) I think C-M Eide can stand now at least which is great

Anyway I'm really behind so I'm going to actually listen to Bathory now
― space prophet wogan (ultros ultros-ghali), Tuesday, 23 February 2016 19:24 (eight years ago) link
The Black Flux is awwwwesome, maybe not the best thing here - it's a little restrained, if anything - but so cool and so nicely-judged. I love it
― odysseus (imago), Tuesday, 23 February 2016 19:26 (eight years ago) link
I like how varied this poll has been, as it should, and if nothing else it's given me an excuse to listen to some things that I've avoided for years because I thought I was too clever for them. Most of them have turned out to be pretty good.
― space prophet wogan (ultros ultros-ghali), Tuesday, 23 February 2016 20:01 (eight years ago) link
I just remembered that the reason I omitted not just SYL but everything Devin-related was the whole "what is extreme?" question that likewise axed most (traditional) doom.
― Devilock, Tuesday, 23 February 2016 20:25 (eight years ago) link
So pretend I voted for City, Ocean Machine, Terria, and probably Accelerated Evolution, scattered thoughtfully throughout my 100.
