Fat Box Life Destroyer - I'll Eat Your Face

Totally blew me away, it sound heavy and dirty as fuck!

How can you not like anything and everything by this band?!

+1

When I first heard Rat Pipe Sewer Mutant 88', I was blown away!!
But ill put my favourite as Irritant. Everything about it appealed to me!
Still listen to it regularly!

I thought the Fragments EP released last year was something fresh too!

The first WOTH release is just filth, incarnate

Nice thread,havnt given some of these albums a spin in a long while,must do! Id probably have to go for Spirit The Earth Aflame too,like many others its the one that sticks out for me. Got it for christmas one year along with A Blaze In The Northern Sky and a couple more albums,just when i was getting into more extreme metal so it kinda paved the way for me in that sense and Primordial were the first Irish band I really got into. Savage album from start to finish!

As masterful as both Primordial and Mourning Beloveth have been - I'd rate both of their most recent albums as their best - nothing comes anywhere near GRAVEYARD DIRT - SHADOWS OF OLD GHOSTS.
I am still speechless to this day at how amazing that release is.

2 stand out instantly in my mind
abaddon incarnate - nadir
morphosis - all early demos

Purely because both were ahead of their game at the time.

Stand-Up Guy - In Fixation, Conspire

Just a fantastic release, nothing about it I don't like. Fra Diavalo is still one of the best opening songs of any album I have ever heard.

Dust by Mourning Beloveth would probably take it for me. The atmosphere, the lyrics, the tone is just brathtakng. After would probably be And So I Watch You From Afar's debut album, the riffs are pounding.

That is a very good call right there and I'm gonna go along with it. SHADOWS OF OLD GHOSTS by a nose from THE GATHERING WILDERNESS.

Yus.

Had to pick a favourite with so many great releases (Scald, Graveyard Dirt, Wreck of the Hesperus, Drainland etc.) but I think the stand out for me is:
THY SINISTER BLOOM - SEREIN FALLS

Every note in the EP is perfectly placed.

Stormzone - No Mike 'Til Leather

and then, in the real world, the releases that made me go, jesus, there's a real fucking SCENE in this country (after having a less than ideal introduction at the hands of some real dodgy stuff, including rough recordings of Dreamsfear)

Primal Dawn - self-titled
The Swarm - Six Acts of Atrocity
Abaddon Incarnate - Nadir

But stickin' firmly to the Primordial bandwagon, The Gathering Wilderness is my most cherished Irish listen.

Yeah, a lot of great ones mentioned already, The Gathering Wilderness would be up there for me, also Sea Dog - Wizards of the Coast, the Crowd Control record and the Moutpiece record. production issues aside, Old Season - Vol 1, Denovissmis Mollusc cdr, Mass Extinction - DBAT

Im sure the wizards album will be one to add to that list Wink

Yes Paul sickeningly forgot to mention them....both demos and the album are just fantastic. Really have that old early 90's doomy death sound nailed and great tunes to boot. Never get's tired.
Remember getting the first demo back in the mid 90's and being so amazed at the time.
