Had been listening to that a good bit when it came out and threw it on again last week. It's great. Will def pick it up. That, Nedgravd,  Coscradh and Godless, which needs more time, have been leading the pack of new DM releases for me.

I really must pick up a phyical copy of Nedgravd, it's amazing. fair play, I saw Blood incantation gave them a shout out in the latest tour documentary on youtube too. No doubt some of the duller posters on the Revelation board are calling them out as we speak

Ya, I think it's only CD out yet. Pleasantly surprised by how into I am cause I wasn't arsed with the preview tune. It's savage. Pretty sure the RoD heads were into it. Not sure though.

Yeah, it's nasty stuff. Hope they tour. Prefer it's lodestar Infester though.

Urfaust - Der freiwillige Bettler
Morbid Saint - Spectrum of Death
Kreator - Pleasure to Kill

Sick twisted winds of the black fog !!

[Eoin McLove]

The entire "Winter" album is amazing and there are several highlights across it, but this song is so fucking good...

Procession - The Cult of Disease

Is is a hot-take to say that they never came close to sounding this good again? Everything after always felt like it lacked any real snap, in favour of a more "epic" sound. Gonna have a deep-dive the next few days.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Big fan of To Reap Heavens Apart, never really dug Doom Decimation though.

Edit: Scratch that, of course I've heard it. Got confused by it being labelled an EP on metal archive.

30 quid felt like a bargain for it. There was a copy of the first album in there too.

That is quite the bargain, these days. I will keep up hope that I will grab it some day.

That Nedgravd is class too, one of the best DM albums I've heard in a while.

Giving that New Model Army Winter album a spin now too, good stuff. I love several of their early albums, but for some reason I'd been hesitant to check out the newer stuff.

M.O.D. - Devolution & Gross Misconduct
Voivod - Symphonique

[londonleatherboy]

Sons Of Liberty - Thought Crimes 1 & 2 cd

[Thorn]

Evoken  - Hypnagogia 8.5/10
Concept album from 2018 ,lush lugubrious landscapes that work wonders for dozing off. Probably not what they intended.

For Ruin - Painted In The Colours Of War 8/10
Really enjoying this one, no sign of it at Invictus yet lads?

Transylvania - Magma Posthuma 7.5/10
The return of the Austrian  occult black thrash fiends on Invictus this year unleashing an impressive arsenal of snarling riffs, not sure if this betters Of Sleep And Death but kept it's certainly just as volatile.

Master - Vindictive Miscreant 7/10
One from the ultra exclusive club of Death Metal albums with incongruous blue sky cover arts. Not one of his best but one thing you always get from Speckmann is conviction and sincerity.

Winterfylleth -The Unyielding Season 6.5/10
Damn. I'd finally started to warm to Winterfylleth over the past two records but fuck me I'm finding the vocals on this one a struggle, this monotone, nondescript rasp just handicaps these otherwise massive sounding tracks for me. Shame.

Gojira - The Link 6/10
Picked this up to complete the discography and had the speakers shuddering with these thick, jarring bottom heavy riffs but ultimately a bit disjointed overall and not everything here works for me.

[Anvil]

Immortal - To the North and Into Eternal Winter (Live in Darkness 1993-1995)
Yob - Atma
Enslaved - Frost
Triumpher - Piercing The Heart of The World

[Taranis]

Last five,

In Flames (Sweden) – The Jester Race (1996, one of the best two or three of the mainstream NWSMDM albums, and still great in my opinion)
New Model Army (England) – Winter (2016, prompted to spin this by Mr McLove, good stuff, even if nowhere near as good as the classic albums by them)
Nedgravd (Norway) – Acension (2026, never heard of this band until seeing them in this thread, really cool fairly filthy death metal)
Cage (USA) – Astrology (2000, power metal, woke up with one of the songs in my head yesterday morning, figured spinning it would be less painful than using a knitting needle to get it back out of my head; no idea why I own this album, woke up with it after a wild night out in San Francisco, but a couple of the songs are catchy)
One of Nine (USA) – Eternal Sorcery (2023, black metal, cool atmosphere, had missed this album completely when it came out, but gave it a go after liking the one from last year, and this one is even better)

Nithing - Agonal Hymns
Trichomoniasis – Makeshift Crematoria
