on a Hellhammer/Celtic Frost and Bathory phase RN

the atmosphere and brutality in some of this shit is unmatched

 

I need to dabble a bit more on all three of those bands. Hellhammer doesn't have a lot of material and Celtic Frost has a pretty clear starting point (To Mega...), but where's the right point to begin with Bathory? Starting with the self-titled and go forward from there?

 

ideall yes

but

s/t is killer but IMO has more value as a historical artifact because of its approach and huge fucking influence

other albums are “better”

maybe start with Blood Fire Death just to get yr teeth kicked in and then go back to s/t and progress from there

 

dope. thanks for the primer...adding bathory into my queue for listening this afternoon.

 

let me know if The Golden Walls of Heaven doesn’t make you want to punch life in the face

 

Enjoying the new Amorphis record quite a bit.

 

Under the Sign of the Black Mark is generally considered the best Bathory record. Blood Fire Death is the album that inadvertently spawned the Viking metal genre, and was perfected with Hammerheart, if that's your thing.

 

I may have posted these before, but here's a couple of death metal bands worth keeping an eye on.

Garroted released this 4-song EP. It is particularly riff-tastic:

And Superstition (20 Buck Spin) released a physical cassette of their demo. Very much looking forward to a debut:

Surging Throng of Evil's Might, by Superstition

 

I like BFD as a starting point because it is a good middle ground between the black/thrash/viking spaces the band occupies throughout their discog

 

Lol fuck US immigration services.

 

havent listened to this since it came out, good day to revisit

 

anyone other than @swboyd going to deathfest? i'm not, but i'm walkable from the venue.

also HIRS is playing saturday night if anyone wants something outside of the fest that's heavy

 

Aaron Turner: 8 Albums That Scared Me

 

one of my friends who's into a ton of super obscure bands rec'd me this Japanese sludgy hardcore band from the 90s called Greenmachine and jesus christ they fucking slay. these riffs are unreal

 

riffs are good as hell on that song

 

Still upset I missed HIRS

 

Another contender for AOTY, in my eyes. This track is so good.

 

Power Trip live was excellent

 

New Light This City streaming on Bandcamp:

 

Live video I took from the Power Trip show I went to

 

Better late than never, i'm listening to Furia - Ksiezyc Milczy Luty.

 

Another new Tomb Mold song + an interview:

CVLT Nation Interviews TOMB MOLD + Premiering "Blood Mirror" -

 

This new Rotten Sound EP goes hard, as always. Really hope we get a new full length from them soon.

 

What are some bands you can acknowledge has talented members or the band as a whole are talented but you never could get into them? Children of Bodom fits that for me.
