my lowly opinion, the only thing that does not make this album an automatic qualifier for the "totally generic, run-of-the-mill, cookie cutter black metal" garbage can is the cover of VON "Satanic Blood". Gotta admit, it's pretty good. Though I suppose it would be difficult to fuck up that song...

Coupla things: What is this WORMED band all about? What type of music? Never heard of 'em. Also, was it cookiecutter that talked about Digested Flesh? Recommended, I take it? As to Pig Destroyer, while they are one of my favorite bands, I am not sure I would put them on a list of...

Kind of agree with this. Not too many of the "brootal" death bands would make my list on heaviest bands. Their music is often too busy, too many riff changes, too much tinny snare banging, etc... Hardly heavy. I suppose the one exception for me would be Severe Torture. But, anyway, heaviest...

Never heard Lucid Interval. How is it compared to Exploiting Disfunction (or whatever it is called, haven't listened to it in a while)? That is the only one I have by them.

What a great article. Laughed my ass off. The link to the greatest album covers ever, however, missed on that Sabbath one, I think. The self-titled one is better. Very creepy.

Absolutely essential listening.

AAARRRRGGGGG!! That's me biting my tongue, trying not to say something insulting about this band, because it's not there fault they don't play my preferred style of black metal.

Depends on the genre. It is very common in goregrind. mike

I have tried and tried to give Venom a fair shot, but they are fucking terrible. I COMPLETELY do not understand it when anybody in black metal claims them as an influence (or, perhaps "claimed" is better, since I doubt anyone claims to be influenced by them in the past 15 years or so). The music...

Most bands fail at this, I think. Metal is all about violence to me, so if they take the contrast (or dynamic, whatever) too far, then the problem is that what they have provided as "contrast" is simply non-metal, which I think ruins the piece, more often than not. Sure, subtle contrasts are...

Wow! THE Archgoat? The ones who did "Angelcunt" back in the day? I did not know they had become active again. That album is one of the absolute best black metal release EVER. Nasty, brutal, and vile. The website for this thing says they have a new release, does anyone know anything about...

You've got mail......

I guess I go at it pragmatically. I will keep buying albums by a group until they start to suck (which is inevitable). When they put out a sucky album, I will usually buy one more to see if the one that blew was a fluke. 99 times out of 100 it was not a fluke. I don't think I can think of a...

I could not agree more. Worm Gear used to be the absolute best, until they stopped with the paper distribution. It was HUGE, and totally packed with reviews. I loved it. Does anyone know of any decent print zines that still distribute, and will mail on request? The guy from Worm Gear was...

Looks like generic tattoo flash to me.

Allright, in that case, anybody that did one of those black metal lists that has the time, could you PM me the link? Thanks!

Hey, all. A while ago, some of you were posting "playlists" or something that you had created on some website for people to download and check out some new bands. Some of them were grind, some black, some death. Never got around to downloading any of them, and I think the posts are so old...

Can't find a distro that has it in stock. Does anyone have it, and wish to trade a burn of it? My list is at http://www.cd-tracker.com/item_list_v2.asp?UserID=795 Let me know..... mike

Well, most of it is going to be undergroundish goregrind, cause that was the original intent of the thread, but worry not, my friend, cause it's ALL crusty. mike
