I'll talk about that later, as I've only listened to it at about half volume, which isn't nearly enough to form an opinion, but I'll say that the vocalist isn't exactly my fav. Kinda sounds like he's ripping out his ******* desperately trying to pass a giant turd.


Right now, while I'll definitely do something more in depth on them soon, I just have to post something by Arkangel. Their Dead Man Walking album might just have just become my go-to album for straight-up brutality. I honestly can't think of another album as extreme as this. The simple, straightforward malevolence, and unnatural heaviness is just awe-inspiring. I challenge anyone, ANYONE to find me something more brutal. It defies words.

New entry in my top ten---hell, top five---metal albums easily, and possibly best hardcore album I've ever heard. Oh my ****ing GOD this thing just kills in a way that brutal death metal and grindcore can't touch with their tempo changes that, even when handled perfectly, undermine their vehemence. Arkangel's brutality >>>>> Pig Destroyer, Cyrptopsy, Mayhem, Gorgoroth, Marduk, and Suffocation... possibly combined.

Please, PLEASE find me something to destroy my ears like this album does, because I will worship it. Worship. As far as I know, this is the pinnacle of hateful, ear-destroying musical filth. I will listen to everything this band has ever done very soon, and likely bump them constantly for months to come. Mondo, don't let me down. Find me something that can piss my neighbors off more than this. I will be spamming whatever relevant threads I can to pass on the gospel of Arkangel. Be warned. Wpnfire needs to hear this band.
