Mental Funeral turns 30

[leatherface]

Excellent album. I always thought that 'Acts of the Unspeakable' was great too, quite overlooked, a lot darker and doomier than MF was. I also enjoyed that last one they released , 'Puncturing the Grotesque', though it seems that no-one else did.

Probably. Either way, a favourite of mine, the album that got me into them.

I'll tell you one that is 30 years old tomorrow: Cursed by Morgoth. One that slipped under the radar for a lot of people but a firm favourite of mine from day one.

There could easily be a dedicated thread for 30 year old DM classics, fuckloads are turning 30 this year. Blessed Are The Sick in May, for instance.

I'm a fan of Puncturing The Grotesque. I only picked up a physical copy of it recently there. As for Mental Funeral, it is one of my favourite DM albums. Absolutely gutted I didn't get to see them play UK Deathfest last year due to the pandemic. Here's hoping next year 🤞

Severed Survival is 32 today, apparently.

So many great albums there, it'll be a good year for DM nostalgia.

Macabre Eternal is a decade old in a few weeks, thought that was mostly a banger. The first two are absolutely two of the best death metal albums ever.

Another album that just turned thirty yesterday is none other than Malevolent Creation's debut. Waited for an eternity to get it on CD due to Roadrunner refusing to reissue. Eventually picked it up second hand in Scranton PA. Their best album by quite some distance with every track an absolute belter. The late Brett Hoffmann's finest hour too.

I'd take Retribution over it any day, but it's a belter alright. It was reissued by Hammerheart recently.

Ten Commandments is a stone cold DM classic!.

As for Mental Funeral,one of my earliest DM memories is getting this on cassett off a lad in school,i just couldn't get my head around it.Took me years to fully  appreciate it!

91 seems to be the pinnacle for DM for sure,.

Mental Funeral's cover was outstanding as well. Bought this on tape from Comet Records in Cork, maybe when it came out. So long ago can hardly remember now.

A great album, I how low and depraved their sound is. Acts Of The Unspeakable was the first one of theirs I got and then more treats in store finding out about their other releases. Great artwork for this album too. It depicts the title well.
