Impaled - Mondo Medicale
Rotten Sound - Murderworks
I can think of more but at the top of my head these are up there. Has anyone that is from PA in this discussion board haerd the New Heidnik Cd "Nothing"? That is a great cd.

1- dillinger escape plan w/ mike patton
2- god speed you black emperor
3- today is the day
4- fantomas/melvins big band
5- ursap synapse
6- as the sun sets/daughters
7- the smile adventure
8 - cephalic carnage
9- agoraphobic nosebleed
10- twodeadsluts onegoodfuck

how metal of you to pick your own band? thats about as metal as wearing a korn shirt to a korn concert.

the new decapitated is sooooo broooootal.

sickest guitar riffs and it's tight as shit.

how the fuckk did I overlook this album.

I love You.

Ok thats it man...im listening to throwdown and i feel like kicking some ass...

I feel like im in 6 grade all over... Lets meet up at the playground and ill hump you to death

okay man, have fun listening to throwdown.

is anyone else a little disappointed with the latest cephalic carnage release?

some parts are alittle sketchy, but other than that they have some good guitar riffs... a lot of crazy sweeps too.

its definetly not my favorite release of 2002.

Lucid Interval jumps around alot of different styles.. the variety is great... but track 3 goes back to the same boring ass deathmetal riff like 30 times.. unnecissary filler as far as im concerned. all in all, I'm impressed... and trying not to wear it out.


tom: your correct about Nihility being the tightest shit. im in full agreement. tech as shit, but that was also a 2001 release.. or are we not talking abotu 2002 albums anymore.?

nah go check out their site.

NIHILITY - Wicked World/Earache Records (2002)

no spacific order put only albums i either bought and i liked that came out this year

Decapitated: Nihility
BLudgeon: Burn the priest
Opeth: Deliverance

Mithras: Forever advancing legeons
Shadows fall: the art of balance
Hate Eternal: king of all kings
Origin's new one

all that shits been keeping me busy lately. and i broke flesh parade out of its hibernation. thats hot shit.

the best album is the strokes.

FAG.

i think it's safe to call it now,

in no peticular order:
as the sun sets -7744 (or was that 2001?)
origin - informis infinitas inhumanitas
shattered realm - all will suffer
agoraphobic nosebleed - frozen corpses stuffed with dope
death before dishonor - true till death

best demos:
terror
terminally your aborted ghost.

derek.. I must say, the sigur ros has been in my CD player for a couple weeks straight.
beautiful, but not metal.
I just hear a long NPR story about the CD too.

NPR rocks my boat

the new meshuggah is terrible nothing is one of the worst excuses for a follow up album ive ever heard has anyone actually compared that album to their past efforts its garbage
(another new meshuggah album is out soon its going to be recorded by wayne static and released as static x but it will sound the same)
Leone

leone, your a boner in my book, and criticizing meshuggah is not what this post is for.
haha.

How many of these do you still listen to?

My guess is fucking none.

The Infamy wasn't bad, and that other guy's local band.

NPR is HIV AF.

I still listen to shit I listened to back in 2002. They're like my 4 touchdowns in a single game.

Which post-1995 bands/albums do you still listen to?

I mean, just from what was listed here (and others from 2002) I still dabble in tracks from:

Hate Eternal - "King of all Kings"
Rotten Sound - "Murder works"
Vile - "Depopulate"
Nile - "in their Darkened Shrines"
Decapitated - "Nihility"
Meshuggah - "Nothing"
Agalloch - "The Mantle"
Immortal - "Sons of Northern Darkness"
Rhapsody - "Power of the Dragonflame"
Symphony X - "The Odyssey"
Luca Turilli - "Prophet of the Last Eclipse"
Pagans Mind - "Celestial Entrance"
Cannibal Corpse - "Gore Obsessed"
Origin - "Informis Infinitas Inhumanitas"
Limbonic Art - "The Ultimate Death Worship"
Porcupine Tree - "In Absentia"
Desire - "Locus Horrendous..."
Mourning Beloveth - "The Sullen Sulcus"

...

Theres more... And that's only stuff released from 2002.

Fuck my ass.

That's interesting, thanks. I don't think I liked any of those the first time around, so I have no way of knowing here.

I still throw on Unholy Cult from time to time, but for the real Immolation experience, it's always going to be Here In After
