Best album of the 2020s …. So far :Periphery V

[anomaly]

I know no one cares about Lamb Of God any more, but their new album "Into Oblivion" is worth a listen. There's some good tracks on it and it's more diverse than their typical releases, like that self titled album.

What's sad is they consistently put out good stuff, but yeah, I just don't really care much anymore. I think Wrath was the last album that I listened to with fervor.

Ya Wrath was a good album. I also liked some of Resolution, but the best part about that album was it's production value. It has the clearest most organic sound to it. The Wrath tour disc that came with Resolution was a cool bonus as well. Sturm Und Drang was OK, but the self titled album stunk IMO, all of the tracks sounded the same.

To be honest I don't think I've even listened to the self-titled more than a track

Best album for me so far, a release from just ~3 weeks ago.

Cruel Force - Haneda.
German speed metal, which sounds like it was released in '85/'86, with a bit better production, but nowhere near modern-Sneap stuff. You know, the kickdrum sounds like a kickdrum...and roto-toms with plenty of verb!

If you like Whiplash, Razor, Agent Steel, SNM-era Slayer, early Kreator, Exciter (but with way more skill), Artillery... this is mandatory listening!
Lookin' at you, @DanTravis62

I haven't heard this yet, ill definitely check it out!

Their guitarplayer 'basically' sounds like a mix of Bernie Versailles, John Ricci (but the version that actually owns and uses a metronome for practice ), Uli Jon Roth and Mille Petrozza. The WHOLE fuckin' album rips...front to back. 43 minutes of metal mayhem.
There was like one lacklustre riff...where I was actively searching for which song was filler...Nope. The only filler I could find was one quarter-note fill/bridge riff, in an otherwise great song.

By the way, that video you posted early in this thread had a still of the singer that basically looks like if you mix Cronos from Venom with Barry Gibb!
Huh...huh...huh...huh satan alive, satan alive!

Shit, I didn’t realize the whole album came out!

I still care about them because they were such a huge band for me in ‘03, but they’ve pretty much been releasing the same album ever since Wraith. The last one was pretty good, playing live in the studio brought some energy and I was getting my hopes up with the first couple of singles from the new one because there was some definite old school parts in there.

Just recently went back and listened to all the old shit and remembered why I got into them-


That was the last time I recall sensing ‘danger’ around music, as I thought Randy was a fucking lunatic that I wouldn’t want to even deal with if I met him at a show. Turns out I wasn’t far off base and the dude was a drunken lunatic up until 2012.

"Momento Mori" right? That track became a popular song for them, but personally I don't care for it much.

'03, so would Palaces be your favorite album. That's mine by a long shot.
