Besides Death, Entombed, and Repulsion this is all new to me. Everything I've downloaded so far is fucking awesome.

As for necroticism yeah again had a bit of stick for not including that as well but I like crcass a lot but again aside from "Reek..." and Parts of "Symphonies..." I dunno just didn't think they were worthy of top 10'ing and lastly Death well I don't actually like any of their other albums post "Scream..." and "Scream was really more included not out of a sheer love of Death but more because I felt being the originators their debut album should be included it's a killer album but more for being the first rather than the best. Hope that's cleared that up?<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Dave B.Dave Ballantynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962015895260884375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112004118520930596.post-17134852374582415132015-04-09T01:21:42.781+01:002015-04-09T01:21:42.781+01:00original ranking, fine but i would definitely choo...original ranking, fine but i would definitely choose another death (Human) and include close to a world below and necroticism, and maybe like an everflowing stream tooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112004118520930596.post-6337917247588662792014-11-15T20:50:26.183+00:002014-11-15T20:50:26.183+00:00Hey Jonathan yeah I knew by ommiting "Altars ...Hey Jonathan yeah I knew by ommiting "Altars Of Madness" I was gonna get some people mentioning that I hadn't put it in there thing is "Thy Kingdom Come" was one of my all time favorite demos but I was genuinely disappointed by "Altars..." I never thought it matched the sheer intensity of the demo and was just a bit dull! If "Thy Kingdom..." had been album length it would have been in here for sure and as for The Unleashed debut yeah maybe you have a point there but for some reason i never really took to Unleashed they are a great band and i do listen to them now at the time tho they never really left much of an impression on me. Thanks for commenting I like to hear peoples opinions on this stuff glad you enjoyed the post,<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Dave B.Dave Ballantynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962015895260884375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112004118520930596.post-84761920870165037892014-11-15T11:20:50.726+00:002014-11-15T11:20:50.726+00:00thanks! excelent lml I would have put Altars of m...thanks! excelent lml I would have put Altars of madnes or Where No Life Dwells (maybe) in the top but you made a great post.

As for the more modern stuff it's not my cup of tea either so that mid 80's-early 90's bracket is good for me.<br /><br />Do you have any of these?:<br />Amputation - Achieve The Mutilation<br />Amputation - Slaughter In The Arms Of God<br />Checker patrol - Demo reh<br />Death Fuck - Abnormal Rape<br />Warhammer - Abattoir Of Death<br />Devastation - A Creation Of Ripping Death<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />p.s: that Slaughter record is crushing!Snow Delay At The Frankfurt Schoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562552070659816463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112004118520930596.post-11001954516022069062013-07-22T10:01:00.538+01:002013-07-22T10:01:00.538+01:00Hey Tyler, I haven't kept up with death metal ...Hey Tyler, I haven't kept up with death metal over the years I only recently started revisiting my Death Metal file in the computer I'm a bit of an archivist, as in i download and archive loads of stuff in the computer just simply so i have it if i want it and for nostalgia purposes! There's really only been a few modern bands I've heard that I like these would be...<br /><br />Entrails<br /><br />Tormented<br /><br />Black Breath<br /><br />And last night i did come across some free stuff on Bandcamp by a dutch band called Sledgehammer Nose Job who are REALLY good look em up. AS far as Thrash metal goes i have a small amount of albums but no demos but i have a load of death metal demos if there's anything specific let me know but my death metal files mainly cover the years of 1985 - 1991 I was far removed from the scene by the end of 1991 and stopped collecting so i know very little about what went on from 1991 to the present it's not a musical style that I am fanatic about now but the some of the old school stuff definitely still moves me big time. Let me know if there's anything you're looking for but you always seem to out obscure even me! so i can't make any promises,and lastly yeah i have the demo but only on tape and it's the rough mix we took from the studio on the day i'm only in touch with one member of the band aand I asked him about a copy on the day I did the death metal post but no reply as yet.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Dave B.Dave Ballantynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962015895260884375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112004118520930596.post-46822217804872389612013-07-21T23:48:30.580+01:002013-07-21T23:48:30.580+01:00This is a really cool post.

I'll get down to listening to some of these soon, particularly that Slaughter record. A few of my favorites so far are:<br />Deceased - Luck of the Corpse<br />Hexx - Morbid Reality<br />Death Power - The Bogeyman<br />Invocator - Excursion Demise <br />Baphomet - The Dead Shall Inherit<br />Blackthorn - The Rotten Ways Of Human Misery<br />Sorcery - Bloodchilling Tales<br />Jumpin' Jesus - The Art Of Crucufying<br /><br />Do you have any recordings of your old "sludgy sorta crusty political" band? and any chance of some Thrash/Death metal demo uploads?<br /><br />Thanks.<br />Snow Delay At The Frankfurt Schoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562552070659816463noreply@blogger.com
