fact that i didn t feel the need to listen to it again after the first time toxaemia released a new album to which i ve only listened once and don t feel like going back to their previous one has some

debut the worst album i heard this year is the new six feet under i ve never been one to make fun of or hate barnes in fact i have loved several incarnations of this band favourite moments include haunted maximum violence commandments since i was a kid in the mid 1990s and even on this album it is not barnes that i don t like it is the compositions if someone told me that the entire album was composed in an hour and it was done as a dare to see how uninspired death metal can be i d believe them what i find hard to believe is that jack owen approached this album with honesty and self respect judas priest released an album that sounds better in my opinion than anything they ve done since painkiller 1990 to be honest the first thing i thought was that the band fed some a i program a bunch of classic judas priest songs and the program generated music that approximates the classics sad thing is these days i cannot be sure this is not the case anyway i didn t particularly feel the need to listen to it again after a couple of times nile returned with an indisputably brutal and well made album i liked it more than the previous one but once again dallas s absence is noticeable karl and the rest of the band has clearly put a lot of work into this album like they always do but i miss the hooks of their old albums i haven t heard something i really liked by dark tranquillity in a long time and the new album didn t change this although the fast songs e g unforgivable enforced perspective are pretty cool these songs are close to the dt that i fell in love with but the rest of the songs especially the more electronic ones are just background music for me i d love to be able to say that i loved pro xristou by rotting christ an album that supposedly goes back to their mid 1990s sound my favourite era of theirs but i didn t i found sakis s vocals tired is he trying to channel tom warrior in his latter years and interesting melodies were thin on the ground also it kinda felt like some melodies were recycled throughout the album moving on to albums i liked a bit more massacre s new album titled necrolution is better than the previous full length in my opinion as it is a bit more straightforward a bit more faithful to the band s classic sound but the fact remains that it is full of rogga s and other musicians that are not on par with the legacy of this band middle of the road riffing kam s voice is still amazing but i don t think that s enough still some delicious tracks here and there listen for example to the things that were and shall be again succeed to satisfy this old metalhead s morbid desires malignancy released an unsurprisingly super brutal interesting album with lots to be discovered their classic brand of super distorted and technical brutal death metal dominates discontinued but at times i can detect hints of more modern elements i haven t listened to it loads but i want to pay more attention to it i liked the new deicide album a bit more than any album they ve done in decades still i didn t think it was anything special from patterns that have been tried many times before to the lack of riffs i don t understand where their inspiration went was it the hoffman brothers responsible for this band s greatness there are moments that i like for example the opening song as well as faithless ritual defied a trinity of none and sever the tongue are cool songs where you can tell that this is a band that once ruled the world of death metal but then you have vocal lines like the chorus of doom to die or the verse vocal pattern of bury the cross that are just imitations of old deicide songs the new more melodic elements that the band introduced in the last album continue here with songs like woke from god and i am not a fan of them christ denied s new album titled christopsy starts with a fantastic song scream bloody blasphemy which brought back the glory of late 1990s broken hope and fleshgrind listening to the remainder of the album eventually got a bit tiring and i ll never get used to some of the vocals dave rotten uses in this band but i would like to listen to it more carefully at some point why call him god is another highlight great use of movie samples too vanhelgd is a band i found out after the release of at the gates s the nightmare of being as jonas was wearing a valhelgd t shirt which made me look them up i was not particularly impressed not really my kind of death metal i usually prefer faster heavier and less atmospheric stuff nevertheless they entered my radar so when i found out they released a new album i checked it out it s a good thing i did because i really enjoyed atropos doctrina it is full of heart wrenching melodies and singing and at moments it is reminiscent of some of the things at the gates did with their debut album as well as latter tribulation two albums i listened to very recently so i haven t appreciated properly but i think they sound great are those by oxygen destroyer and the offspring i only listened to the new album by the offspring a few times cos it s relatively recent and also i haven t bought it but i am loving it so far it s a bit poppier than let the bad times roll 2021 but it also has the more trademark fast californian punk that i love oxygen destroyer s new album titled guardian of the universe was a pleasant discovery for me this past year i really enjoyed it the riffs and vocals reminded me of necrodeath and in the eyes of ioldanach 1998 era absu and this kind of relentless beating and constantly changing rapid riffing is very appealing to me i haven t listened to it loads but it feels like i ll be spending more time discovering it two albums that almost made my top 10 list are those by morta skuld and houwitser the new morta skuld album is not as perfect in my opinion as the little miracle they pulled off with suffer for nothing 2020 my personal favourite album of theirs but i really enjoyed it listened to it loads and the more i listen to it the more i appreciate it i have a soft spot for eric house the drummer whose playing i absolutely love and i think he s a perfect fit for morta skuld gregor s vocals are fantastic his classic approach of singing along the riff is ever present the bass is a bit more prominent than on previous albums there are lots of catchy moments and overall there s lots to be discovered never been a massive houwitser fan although i ve followed them since their embrace damnation 2000 album came out i thought that that album had some fantastic songs but my appreciation for them was marred by the fascist lyrics on one of the songs in that album i e leeches come the new album offers some fantastic old school death metal at times it has these amazing stop start riffs like on dismal depravity which are trademark houwitser mike s voice is fantastic as usual and here he also uses quite a lot of his high pitched screams by the time i was finalising this post it became clear that there was no point putting my 10 favourite albums from this year in order of preference all of the albums on this list are awesome and i listened to them non stop making it a fantastic year music wise so without further ado here are my favourite albums from 2024 for the first time ever in no particular order rage afterlifelines after all these years of making albums at a time when all mainstream posers debate whether it makes sense what they mean is financial sense for bands to release full length albums peavy and company release another masterpiece a double album after two albums with jean borman and six with vasilios maniatopoulos this incarnation of rage is proving to be an awesome one with the exception of dying to live and mortal two songs i do not like this album is blowing my mind peavy s knack of writing catchy and often unorthodox melodies is once again evident across the album s 21 songs it is rare nowadays or at any time really for so many amazing songs to be compiled under one product but if one person can do it that s peavy after a couple of powerful but also emotional songs like end of illusions and under a black crown how cool is the last chorus where lucky picks up the tempo the band goes into a slower number with afterlife starting with a couple of great riffs and a catchy chorus dead man s eyes feels it came straight out of black in mind toxic waves is now among my all time favourite rage songs and the song lifelines is one of the great rage masterpieces in my opinion pure perfection endless respect and love for peavy at the same time i have to say that although the messages of the lyrics are overall great some of the lyrical ideas are problematic specifically the idea that there is no space or that the world is overcrowded space is created buildings are built roads are paved and if there is a desire to help people who are being treated unfairly people that are less privileged than us and people who are running away from danger there is lots of space and resources available what needs to happen is more humane distribution of space and resources anyway i know peavy s heart is in the right place read a more detailed review here the crown crown of thorns crown of thorns marks a reset for the crown who returned with a new line up and most importantly after the departure of magnus olsfelt a co founder of the band and the main composer alongside marko the new line up includes the two remaining founding members marko and johan plus the returned marcus sunesson in guest musician capacity here playing all the solos alongside new drummer mikael noren and bassist mattias rasmussen i was really curious to see how olsfelt s departure would affect the band but i was not particularly worried as marko has always been the main reason i enjoyed the crown as expected the album is lacking the crusty and garage sque elements that were magnus s bread and butter but marko rose to the challenge and wrote songs that exemplify his trademark melancholic and melodic playing but also doubled in writing more straightforward brutal death metal the new drummer is a better fit in my opinion than henrik axelsson as noren is flashier crown of thorns feels like the most cohesive the crown album so far all the songs are awesome but gone to hell howling at the warfield the way the chorus melody develops during the second half of the chorus is stunning the night is now where nightmares belong and god king are masterpieces of the highest order the fantastic chorus of where nightmares belong when is sang by the woman at the end sounds so much like marion on paradise lost s gothic and i don t think it s a coincidence given marko s love for paradise lost a funny thing about this song is that the lyrics on the chorus evoked images of the animated film the twelve tasks of asterix 1976 specifically the scene in the haunted plain near the end of the film martyrian is another song i think is great but the chorus is repeated a few times too much for my taste the second riff and the melody that follows right before the singing starts on the storm to come has major mid 1990s sentenced vibes this song is the most complex on the album and closes the album with a beautiful melancholic coda that fades out although this album is a true masterpiece i feel i need to note that it also constitutes another example of the rationalising streamlining in music production which i think has a detrimental effect on the quality of recorded music satan songs in crimson each new satan album is a cause for celebration the release date for songs in crimson was set a day after i would see them live for the first time in brighton the gig was fantastic despite the ridiculously small crowd and they played two new songs too after a streak of fantastic albums since their re union it was once again hard to imagine that satan would be able to keep up but songs in crimson unleashed an attack of creativity that other bands old and new cannot even imagine the first time i listened to it was on mp3 with no lyrics or the other peripheral frills of the album art etc the thing that struck me from the get go was how more complex this album sounded and how diverse almost as if they pushed themselves to new levels when i eventually bought the record black vinyl and listened to it i was confronted with a badly pressed album full of skips so i returned it and received a replacement which had the identical issues contacting customer service on metal blade proved impossible and my review on amazon where i mentioned the problem with the vinyl was not posted that put a dampener on the whole experience but there is no denying that this is another masterpiece with fantastic performances face melting riffing and goosebump inducing guitar harmonies era the day will come has an awe inspiring musical narrative and the album s best chorus turn the tide is one of the most aggressive songs on the album and the energetic way it kicks in blew my mind two songs that sound a bit different to what satan has done in the past are martyrdom and captives as the mood and pace especially on martyrdom is almost cheery what also stands out in both tracks is the riffstorm that never stops the twin guitar harmony on deadly crimson near the end sent chills down my spine words cannot express how perfect satan is pentagram chile eternal life of madness pentagram from chile is a band i ve only known for a decade although its spectre has haunted death metal since its beginning led by anton reisenegger who also plays with lock up brujeria and criminal this new album is in the style of their debut and in turn their demos from the late 1980s just like with their debut the band references their old school legacy once again as the title of the new album is a lyric from their 1987 song spell of the pentagram catchy riffs heavy slow passages grimy mood gut wrenching vocals create an oppressive atmosphere which is pure death metal overall eternal life of madness is a tiny bit slower that the debut the only blastbeats can be found on the eponymous song the classic hammer on riffing that appear in their demos and the debut is one of the most prominent features of pentagram s sound in this album as well a great example where th...
