I got out of bed this morning, turned on the computer and then wrote than strange post.
This sort of shit always happens, when I try to do anything first thing in the morning without my first mug of tea. Saying all that, I do have some strange obsessions though. |

I found both albums to be kind of meh, personally. I didn't really pick up on the gothic elements on Icon aside from the occasional synth lead. It wasn't a bad album just average to me, and the Hetfield influence is undeniable albeit done adequately. Swans' best moments are the immense, heavy death/doom sequences that the band is known for. I can respect the poetry found in the spoken word portions but I felt as though they distracted from the coherency of the album as a whole.

My Dying Bride win that battle 4-1, In hindsight I should`ve put up Gothic as its more representative of Paradise Lost. Next up thanks to The Batlord after his previous Swedish death metal match-up, comes this three-way Florida death metal showdown.
Nocturnus The Key 1990
 Versus Malevolent Creation Retribution 1992  Versus Monstrosity Millenium 1996  |

fix the last cover man. can't link to RYM images :p
Good match up though. Best album by each band for sure. For me I gotta go with Retribution - 1 The Key - 0 Millennium - 0 Something perfect to me about "Retribution", can't really put it into words at the moment, but I love that album, in my top 5 for Florida Death Metal. "The Key" is an excellent album as well, very close second, with "Millennium" close behind. 2 of these albums also feature two future Cannibal Corpse musicians. Malevolent Creation has Rob Barrett, who would join Cannibal Corpse after they recorded "Tomb of the Mutilated", and Monstrosity has vocals by George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher.

I do not know about better, each one has their strength. Different though.
Cannibal Corpse is to me in the world of Death Metal, like a cartoon. Their b-movie splatter inspired lyrics almost make them like the GWAR of death metal. They are cartoonish and one dimensional, but talented musicians. So they kinda lose me at that. The other 2 bands are more serious, while Cannibal Corpse are like the class clowns. Hopefully that fact won't scare any away, George Fisher is in top form on "Millennium", I think I like his vocals better on that album than anything he did with Cannibal Corpse. Rob is fantastic on the Malevolent Creation album, great guitarist and the best Cannibal Corpse had I think. His guitar playing is what made "The Bleeding" so memorable. But all 3 of these albums are must hear for anybody with an interest in the style and should be given an honest listen. The 3 way battle of Florida I would love to have would probably be Brutality - Screams of Anguish Massacre - From Beyond Resurrection - Embalmed Existence maybe I should cast my choices to Unknown on that one.

Alright, I have to choose one, and I guess I have to go with Malevolent Creation too. They're not necessarily a ground breaking band, but they just do ugly, brutish death metal right. The vocals are savage and off the leash in a way that shouldn't be as rare in death metal, the riffs are relatively uncomplicated but they have a brutality that is simple but effective, and the production hits that sweet spot between clarity and rawness that just brings the whole thing home.
I just know I'm gonna be second guessing my decision, cause the other two are ****ing ace as well, but it is what it is. Malevolent Creation - 2 Nocturnus - 0 Monstrosity - 0
