been getting back into Cruciamentum lately. somehow i had forgotten about this band for like 3-4 years.
i got Cruciamentum's two full length albums and plan on listening to them in the coming days. they take long breaks between releases but everything they've done that ive heard has been good. quality over quantity. i forgot how much i loved the demo and the first EP.Last album (Obsidian refraction) is pretty fucking good. Made it in most "top death metal albums of 2023" lists and It was well deserved.
2023 was actually a fantastic year in dm. Many bands released great albums:
Horrendous, Outer Heaven, Autopsy, Creeping death, Fires in the distance, Dying Fetus, Obituary, Voidceremony, Tomb mold, Fossilization, Dead and dripping...
a) Obituary has been releasing the same album for 20+ years
a) Can't deny that, they might be the ACDC of dm, but they somehow still deliver and gotten better than in the early to mid 2000sb) i love Autopsy but i really havent cared about anything since Macabre Eternal, same criticisms as Obituary. i stick to the old stuff.
ill give that Autopsy album a try, then.a) Can't deny that, they might be the ACDC of dm, but they somehow still deliver and gotten better than in the early to mid 2000s
b) Last two albums are arguably the best they've releaseed since Mental Funeral. Specially this last one. Guys age like fine wine.
Yeah I've never liked much of the US stuff myself and find the likes of Xasthur overratted but I dig Weakling and Wrest's projects. Also dig the guitar player from Weaklings newer band Asunder but that's more funeral doom.ill give that Autopsy album a try, then.
oh wow, havent heard this one in a while. US Black metal is often poked fun at (sometimes pretty deservedly) but Weakling was always one of the brighter spots of that little subgenre. its a bit overlong but still really good stuff.
i like the rawer shit from the USA, like Demoncy, Profanatica and some of Judas Iscariot's albums. it feels more genuine to me than stuff like Xasthur - i cant really explain it.Yeah I've never liked much of the US stuff myself and find the likes of Xasthur overratted but I dig Weakling and Wrest's projects.

Yeah Judas is awesome. I was into Demoncy back in the day. I dig their late 90s output. Never listened to Profanatica but will definitely add to the quene.i like the rawer shit from the USA, like Demoncy, Profanatica and some of Judas Iscariot's albums. it feels more genuine to me than stuff like Xasthur - i cant really explain it.
Asunder is pretty cool from what i heard. a friend sent me an album a while back. what would you recc from them?
