very good esoteric sentimental doom metal

You know how people have comfort albums? Like for normal people it’s probably like Nora Jones or Taylor Swift or The Beatles or whatever? This is a comforting album for me. It makes me feel nice and cozy and happy.

Fenriz calls it "the quintessential black metal album" and he is considered a black metal historian so you legally have to trust him.

A pioneer in symphonic black metal, leading the way for bands like Dimmu Borgir to bring it to Hot Topics around the world.

Straightforward melodic death metal with some fun riffs, great vocals, and lyrics about being a Viking and doing Viking shit. Have fun with it - we aren’t out here looking for Grammys.

Gind is back babyyyyyyy

I always kinda felt like if Primus was loosely like “Hey what if we were actually a technical thrash metal band?” they’d sound similar to Voivod. It’s good thrash. Better than Anthrax that is for sure.

With so much of black metal feeling like it’s either set in the Mines of Moria, or in some snowy forest, it’s cool to go out to Space.

There is one simple rule I live my life by:

All Covers Are Good.

Buster might actually be the heaviest album I’ve ever heard.

This album is just absolutely, unapologetically, pissed off.

The Warped Tour album.

“Prison Song” has such an iconic first note that anyone who grew up during the 2000s will instantly recognize it. It is to me what the first piano note of “Black Parade” is to emo kids.

I hate that this is so good.

Varg is a 0-star guy!

"Oh wow! This EP is great! I can't wait to see what they do next! Let me just check out their Indiegogo....."

scammed lol

This has no business being any good but it is so good.

Summer of '06 is a great anthem for us aging metalcore kids.

The definitive metalcore album of the 00s.

A definitive metalcore album of the 00s.

The first three songs from this album would be one of the best EP's ever made.

Just a suffocating atmosphere throughout the composition’s entire runtime. Just a stunningly dark and immersive release.

I would believe you if you told me this was just a bunch of stolen Darkthrone riffs.

“Ashe” is an all-timer song. What a riff in the second half of that song. I could listen to that riff for an hour straight.

Just literal chaos. This album is literal chaos. Just manic. This is why we are alive man.

Slather your face in corpse paint, get on your knees...

Primitive Rage is so goddamn good man.

I love Pain.

Is this a hardcore band???

IMO, one of the most underrated death metal bands around.

*Casually drops a double album while exploring sludge and makes one of the better records in a long time*

Long Live Acacia Strain. We don’t deserve them.
