I'll help to continue it :mrgreen: ;)
Bloodbath is definitely one of my fave death metal band. I'm not fond of these new bands, preferring the former one from Sweden and Florida who appeared in the late 80's and 90's but Bloodbath is reinventing that very style 30 years later.

If you dig Floridian death metal, check out Aeon. They're actually from sweden, but their first album pretty much sounds like Deicide + Morbid Angel divided by Cannibal Corpse.

Deicide... lame.

I never got into the Florida thing. I suppose Death is OK, and Cynic isn't really what I'd call death metal.

I'm more of a Watchtower guy, myself... and although I can't stand the guy who sings on the Control and Resistance album, I dig the guy on their first demo.

And Necrophagist slays them all, straight up.

Hammer Gristle, Matricide, and Abscess come close, but for good ol' misery, I'd have to bow to Einsatzgruppen.

Stench of Redemption had some amazing guitar playing on it from Ralph Santolla.

I'm all about the florida stuff, as well as watchtower. Agree about the singer.

If you like Necrophagist, you need Obscura. Its way more interesting.

I respectfully disagree. Statistically speaking, it's not even close. But I do like them OK.

Ever heard Confessor? Loincloth? Breadwinner?

I have some initial mixed feelings about it. It's the kind of material that I think will make more sense when I hear it in a live context. And that's coming from a guy who loved Heritage and saw them three times on their last tour(s)

I absolutely love it - listened to it about a dozen times now. The songs develop very effectively, all of them building to a satisfying conclusion - it's a more cohesive and focused album than Heritage (which I still liked). The production is quite stunning as well - Steven Wilson continues to do phenomenal mixing work, allowing a lot of dynamic range, balance and detail (particularly that grinding Hammond organ).

Alright here is the oldschool hardcore fan guy talking....

So I only like early opeth, first 2 or 3 lps. I can't listen now but at the time they were prog masterworks. I hate new opeth AHHH, and I have seen them live twice. I wonder if it is fashionable to hate on their new stuff. Oh well, the proggy parts are cool still. Just lost the real aggressive/occult vibe. The old bassist was way doper too, just to throw that in there.

See the thing with metal and me is it's gotta be over the top extreme. In some regard or another.
Even new emperor is too weak for me, even though the music is still good. I need the cray cray U know?
