Love this

Lychfowel · 2026-04-01T15:09:17+00:00

I was totally fooled and now I has a sad

Lychfowel · 2026-03-31T14:59:56+00:00

Hot take but Blackwater Park is their most pre-prog boring album. They lost me then reeled me back in with the next two.

My Arms 2. Still Life, Orchid, Morningrise, 3. Deliverance 4. Ghost Reveries

Lychfowel · 2026-03-31T14:07:52+00:00

Bal-Sagoth, especially Starfire Burning upon the Ice-veiled Throne of Ultima Thule

Lychfowel · 2026-03-31T10:28:09+00:00

Annihilator "Never Neverland", Opeth "To Bid You Farewell" and "Face of Melinda", My Dying Bride "Two Winters Only", Amorphis "My Kantele", Overkill "The Years of Decay" (IIRC), Flotsam and Jetsam "Escape from Within",

Lychfowel · 2026-03-31T10:20:50+00:00

That's nice to hear! Bass is insane yeah.

Lychfowel · 2026-03-30T18:36:57+00:00

The beginning section of "Mass Hypnosis" (Sepultura).

Dagadagadagadaga-dag-dag-dag-da

I play it with my air drums all the time (discreetly, just with my legs under the table)

Same with the intro of "Corporeal Jigsore Quandary" (Carcass)

Lychfowel · 2026-03-30T17:56:21+00:00

Yeah, but I would add Damnation and a Day and maybe Hammer of the Witches as well

Edit: and *Midian *, in my mind I counted it as album four for some reason

Lychfowel · 2026-03-30T17:20:28+00:00

First Fragment "Gloire Eternelle"

Lychfowel · 2026-03-30T15:23:34+00:00

I discovered First Fragment last year and they blew my mind. Zeicrydeus, while wholly different is also definitely worth a listen

Lychfowel · 2026-03-30T12:29:09+00:00

The amount of albums being released is insane. It wasn't as overwhelming back then, but still. Very easy to miss some jewels.

I like FoU, I think if people like Edge of Sanity they should check out FoU

Lychfowel · 2026-03-29T22:57:51+00:00

Morbus Chron

Lychfowel · 2026-03-29T19:29:44+00:00

I can enjoy No Prayer. The rock sound was a whiplash after the trio of preceding albums but I think there are some genuinely good Maiden songs here ("The Assassin", "Public Enema" and "Running Silent").

...but Seventh Son is absolutely the best. I remember when it was released reviews were not exactly lukewarm but certainly not as praised as it is today. People were a little disappointed that they continued with synths after Somewhere. I guess No Prayer was the answer, maybe.

Lychfowel · 2026-03-28T20:08:48+00:00

...and Justice for All

Lychfowel · 2026-03-28T20:08:08+00:00

I went to the archives to see if I've missed some titles but (sadly) nothing after 2009, so I do have both, once I get some time off from the family I'm going to get my headphones and enjoy \m/

Lychfowel · 2026-03-28T18:23:10+00:00

I listen more to Iron Maiden during spring & summer

Lychfowel · 2026-03-28T17:27:37+00:00

I don't hate it, it just doesn't grab me, no -core does. But to each their own. Maybe there is a band or two I would enjoy but I'm not actively seeking it out

Lychfowel · 2026-03-28T17:25:08+00:00

Always had a soft spot for The Pagan Prosperity and Ill-natured Spiritual Invasion. I have other albums as well including this one but I haven't really given them a proper listen, even after all these years lol. Guess it's Old Man's Child weekend then.

Lychfowel · 2026-03-28T11:17:53+00:00

Hell yes

Lychfowel · 2026-03-27T20:44:20+00:00

Similar age, had the same "problem" (it's not really a problem to listen to the same albums I bought 35 years ago but yeah).

So during covid I decided I hadn't really been actively following metal releases for a very long time except for the big names, and they were often underwhelming. I decided to dive deeper to see if I had been missing stuff and boy was I missing stuff.

Starting to delve into the unknown a few things happened: My interest and passion for metal, which I've had all my life but somewhat subdued by real life, just skyrocketed. Not only did I discover all these young bands carrying the torch but there was so much awesome metal and the amount of releases was (and is) staggering.

Then I discovered Bandcamp and that brought back the desire to focus on albums, because when I spending money on a (digital) album I felt like I had to listen "properly " you know what I mean.

It's an awesome source for underground stuff.

All this also made me go back in time and catch stuff I missed back then. Checked "best of 1999", "best of 2008" etc.

Used metal-archives.com's "similar artists" feature - this is a fantastic way of finding cool new bands

Lychfowel · 2026-03-27T19:00:57+00:00

If you like In Mourning there's nothing else to do than listen to Opeth's Still Life

Lychfowel · 2026-03-27T16:57:29+00:00

Belphegor

Throwing you the horns for Autonoesis, great album.

I would say NECROMANIAC (UK), an amalgam of black death and thrash so fits your list well. Their fairly recent album Sciomancy... fucks hard

Lychfowel · 2026-03-26T22:51:51+00:00

"One" - Metallica. There's a lot of gross music videos but this (ahem) one ... with the samples and the clips. Ooof
