i made a mistake i read from the wrong list
― Cosmic Slop, Saturday, 13 December 2014 01:51 (nine years ago) link
lol I thought you were trolling to get people worried about their fav albums
I don't know what any of these albums sound like but the cover art is A+ across the board. Ok, maybe not Autopsy but.

autopsy is decent imo. voted for it but mostly because autopsy coasting is still enjoyable enough.

That Body Count record is great fun.

eh, plenty of goregrind is topping them these days, they aren't bad by any standard but should recognize they represent an older aspect of the genre and perhaps focus putting out their older, previously unreleased material like they did in the early 2000's.

^^ re: Autopsy
History has moved on, Ice T's now complaining about helpdesks in India, vegetarians disliking his choice of grilled meat, and his Xbox, whereas it all used to be about inner city violence.

hated the Body Count album, especially the updated version of Institutionalised, which completely missed the point (and was borderline racist).

imo the strength of the Autopsy album lies in their acceptance of just that. plus the fact it sounds really sick
forgot to vote in this but there are already some records I liked and/or am curious about

Ambergris is the only thing I voted for that has placed so far. Curious who gave it the #1. I'm listening to Lantlos now. I listened to it once before and didn't really click with it but I think I'm enjoying it a little better now.

xps
Yeah, Tibi et Igni is excellent. Lots of fun, not "experimental" or "progressive" to any discernible degree, just kick-ass thrashy death metal delivered w/ utter conviction (and a bit of unintentional humor). Probably not gonna displace De Profundis or Litany or w/e as anyone's very favorite Vader album, but damn near peerless in its niche. Problem w/ having been on a roll for 20-some years is that you never get to have the glorious comeback that makes everyone take notice.
― Adding ease. Adding wonder. Adding (contenderizer), Tuesday, 23 December 2014 14:59 (nine years ago) link
Lol, missed Siegbran's comment. Best since Litany? Maybe so, but I don't know that it's such a massive improvement over, like, Impressions in Blood and Welcome to the Morbid Reich.
― Adding ease. Adding wonder. Adding (contenderizer), Tuesday, 23 December 2014 15:02 (nine years ago) link
Haven't heard (or heard of) Piss Vortex. Not typically a grind fan, but curious...
...and shit yeah, Gorguts loom large, right there in the opening track's guitar tone. Good but mostly affirms my not-grindness. HC vocal bug.
― Adding ease. Adding wonder. Adding (contenderizer), Tuesday, 23 December 2014 15:07 (nine years ago) link
Of the few grind records I've heard this year, I like the Brutal Blues album a lot more. The 'psychedelic' tag is weirdly fitting.

fuck, this brutal blues ep is killer! half the "psychedelic" seems to consist of vocal echo, but i love the manic repetitions, lazer streak guitars, natural-sounding kit, everything. never liked noxagt half this much.

"marrow" isn't "wicked game", exactly. it's more like fat bedhead. and i'm okay with that, as post rock is and has long been a respected genre.

Hi metal people of ilx,
Voting is currently in progress for the big sitewide EOY poll, and I hope that many of you will submit a ballot! If everyone who voted for the #1 album here also voted for it in the ILM poll, it would come in the top 10 for sure. If for some reason you're not stoked at the idea of sharing your favourite music with the rest of the board, maybe you can consider it a favour in return for my helping out with the metal poll every year.
