haven't listened to CC for along time and never checked BDM well dude, you have homeworks! new BDM = EPIC and about CC, what is the last album you heard?
i haven't listened to the new dark funerals album... but attera totus sanctus was for me a fucking great album, not as secrets of the black arts, vobiscum satanas, etc. but a great one new nile = awesome!! i've readed that the new nocturnals album "violent revenge" is pure fucking win, and now are singing a woman soooo i'll listen to it surely!!!
I'm a bit disappointed as well, but I guess I just had too high expectations. It's still a great album, though.
BDM I only listened to on their Myspace, they're ok but fail to get my attention... and for CC, the last album I listened to with intrest was "The Wretched Spawn" but I totally lost intrest in them all together. Blasted "Tomb Of The Mutilated" in my car just a few weeks ago and it didn't really grab me like the old days, so I just grew tired of them I guess.
Woods of Ypres - The Green Album has since jumped over every single other album I've heard this year and grabbed the spot for my favorite of 2009.
I know it's a bit too late, but I'd like to answer: 1. Hypocrisy - ATOED 2. Whiplash (USA) - Unborn Again 3. Kreator - Hordes Of Chaos 4. Mastodon - Crack The Skye 5. Necrodeath - Phylogenesis
i don't know if this is fanatism or not hahaha, but ATOED is a fuckin' masterpiece... i can easily name it in a ranking of the best of the decade!
