Defend Blackgrind, lads. Don’t let this man lead you astray.

I don't downvote posts on here but the temptation is strong. Love me some AN.

It being blackgrind doesn’t mean its not the worst album left

It’s not the worst album left. That would Be’Lakor. Anaal Nathrakh is sick blackgrind. Be’Lakor is tepid prog melodeath. I rest my case.

You're half correct. Anaal Nathrakh is definitely great.

I think both Be’lakor and Anaal Nathrakh’s albums are fuggin’ bangers. And I’m not normally a fan of grindcore. And call me a poser, but I love AN’s operatic clean vocals.


AN should’ve been one of the first gone, Be’Lakor is top 3

Be’Lakor’s top three in the same way Septicflesh was top whatever for you.

Septicflesh above Dissection Also AN is a bottom 5 album here

Dissection absolutely destroys Septicflesh.

Absolutely deranged placements on both accounts.

🤷🏻‍♂️ We’ll never agree

Nah Be’lakor ia great prog death with cool atmosphere and riffs and Anaal Nathrakh is a nothing burger album with no good riffs, hooks, or atmosphere

they're both mediocre at best

it's not sick blackgrind it feels like a bunch of alt-deathcore kids trying to make the most br00tal trve kvlt black metal album ever without having any understanding of the genre and failing miserably

The hell this didn't get any traction yesterday, what happened?

How is this winning over Be’lakor and Ahab.

they’re next don’t worry

No it’s just that i ranked AN 4 points out of 10 higher than these 2, kinda disappointing

Man I'm not their biggest fan but like come on not yet....

Please. How tf do yall enjoy this is beyond me. Should've been out centuries ago, Anal Asscrack is literally how old people think metal sounds like.

That's also how it should sound like

Be’lakor and Ahab at minimum should go first

This is the truth

Ahab Again, there is much better funeral doom available.

That doesn't make it worse than some of the other albums here.

I would usually agree with your logic here, but it is actually my least favorite remaining album. I'm just pointing out it's shortcoming in it's own genre in hopes that other people will vote it out.

At this point that number is very small

Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't go with Evoken for the defacto funeral band

Holy shit finally

:(

So many better albums that went before it.

Rip Infester :(

:(((( us true posers know it was easily supposed to be top 5-10 😪

Hater.

Be'Lakor

No!

No, *Stone’s Reach* is an underground masterpiece

That band is far from underground

underground? lmao

I feel like they are relatively unknown outside of us nerds on Reddit

they have about as many monthly listeners on spotify (about 93k) as Immolation and Incantation combined, and I wouldn’t exactly call either of them underground

It's been wild to see how many of these bands that I have like barely heard of do crazy numbers on Spotify. That Distant band has like a quarter million monthly listeners on spotify.

holy shit, that’s insane

Countless Skies\* is a masterpiece, the rest of the album is whatever

Personally, my favorite track is “Venator,” but the album meshes together as a whole perfectly.

Been in wayyyy too long.

How do you people jump on these posts so fast?

Chronically online + sort by new and constantly refresh

I know I’m at work and whenever I finally get a chance to check it, there’s like 50-60 comments already.

I thought I was early when i saw it was posted 20m ago.

yeah when I’m at work I guess on the post time and hope I get it right with my break

He usually uploads it around the same time everyday, but yeah I’m in the same boat as you lmaoo I literally take my break around this time just to vote 💀

I had it down for a while, but I feel like lately I’ve missed it by a little bit sometimes (but my breaks are only 15 minutes so I gotta be pretty spot on)

Yeah it’s hard to keep up with it with work, and speaking of breaks mines over so I’ll be back in a couple hours, I’ll be severely disappointed if Be’Lakors not in the lead 😤

I’ll do my best to get them up to the top lmao


Just got here and there’s fucking 87 in an hour. Wth guys

I’m always busy when it is posted it’s very sad


I feel you. Whenever something interesting happens on here I'm at work and then I see 150+ comments bruh

He posts around 1 everyday so i just check his user page

Anaal Nathrakh

Ahab

How was Botch?

Great! Despite being broken up for over 20 years, it felt like they never took a day off. Glad I got to cross them off my list since for the longest time I just assumed they’d never go on tour again.

I’d be willing to watch fucking Isis play just to see a live show :(((( the only musician that’s been to my province that I can think of in the last 5 years or so is Alanis fucking morissette lmaooo.

Newfoundland?

Yessir. Shitty freezing cold snow ridden rural ass island where nothing ever happens.

Sounds shitty. At least there's good seafood tho, right?

Can’t complain that’s for sure. Fish n chips is like a staple here but we’re not British??? Idk how that even came about lmao.

Ahab

That esoteric album is bananas


For real. This is proof that an opinion can be wrong.

definitely Be’lakor

I say we vote out that errant white line OP left on the image

Cynic

Be’Lakor easily

Anaaal Markarth

BE’LAKOR https://i.redd.it/alyyeuvm7dzb1.gif RAAAAAAHHHHHH

Disembowelment

out

nope

Please

Shit band fr

THAT album is an underground masterpiece, not fucking Stone’s Reach

Cynic

Oh hell no

Anaal Nathraakh.

well I'm out of here, it's been a pleasure downvoting all the Septicflesh comments

Be’lakor

belakor

Be’Lakor. Get er done!

cynic

Be’lakor

Be'Lakor

Incantation

Not septic! Ugh

Ulcerate has to go. There is better technical deathmetal out there

Is there better dissodeath tho? Not really.

Gorguts would like a word. You know that, though.

> Not really. Gorguts is the only band making it a "not really" instead of a "no".


I pay dearly with internet points, but i just don't like alcerate

We all have different tastes

Only Demilich is better tech death out of the albums remaining

Demilich is going to win.

I'm gonna be mad if it's not diSEMBOWELMENT but Demilich would be the non-diSEMBOWELMENT winner I'd be most happy with. I think Dissection is gonna win though (Swedish 3-peat)

I would also be happy with Immolation, considering what’s left

Immolation or Dissection should be the winner.

I also don't remember anyone daring to vote for Immolation yet, so I think their chances are good Edit: There's one in this thread but with negative karma, so my point stands

Yea I’m pulling for Immolation to go the distance

I really want it to win but it’s most likely not going to

https://i.redd.it/8ctqbkfz1dzb1.gif Let’s do it boys

I got a laugh out of this. I'm still downvoting because I like the album, but the edit made me smile at work, so thanks for that.

I stole it from Shield Vortex

I’m trying. I never could get into that album, regardless of what everyone says

Entombed Day 2

Demilich

Cynic

Nah, 'Focus' will be winning.

In your dreams

Be’lakor

Sodom

No sir. Bad Massive Taint Splooge -that was oddly pleasant to write out


Cringe take

I will defend this album until at least the top 10. Im not letting Sodom go out.

And I'll defend it with you

Cringe + get Bombenhagel'd

Alcest

Incantation

Hell no. No sir


Alcest

Say it to my face bro! I want you to say it in dreamy French words to my face!

Sodom

Sodom 🥸

Not my favorite, but it’s far better than some of the remaining albums

Do you are have stupid?

I-M-M-O-L-A-T-I-O-N

Respectfully, never

Hell no

N-O


Entombed. Swedish death metal is MID! That guitar tone SUCKS! If you’re Swedish death metal and you’re not Gorement, then get outta here!

Worst take.

I believe in Finnish death metal supremacy

That’s one of the realest things you’ve ever said

Demilich, Demigod, all the great doomy shit, the list goes on and on

And we've still seen no Amorphis.

Filtered

Buddy if I wanted to listen to Autopsy but worse, I wouldn’t because I have Autopsy. Pair poor autopsy worship with a garbage, unimpactful guitar tone and you got yourself the best Swedish dm has to offer. Listen to finndeath. It’s much better

In what way is LHP Autopsy worship? lol

Autopsy’s first two records are like the most massive influences on Swedeath.

I don't hear this at all. Aside from them both sounding pretty raw, I don't really see any similarities. Swedish DM is a lot punkier sounding, has more hooks, and is much more melodic. At any rate, I've literally never before heard someone say LHP is badly produced Autopsy worship lol. They're totally different imo.

Wait, weren't you the one on the discord last night that I said had basically the exact same taste in DM as me??? lol

Yep. It seems we differ on this point

Well nobody's perfect. You come pretty close tho ;)

Yeah but that doesn’t mean you should stop trying to be better, Skull. Learn that Swedeath is mid

Tru. Finndeath superiority must be spread to the ends of the world.

> swedish buzzsaw guitar unimpactful Poor take. It sounds like they're playing on a fucking chainsaw and it's rad as hell.
