Batty has advocated the idea of allowing members to suggest albums I should review in the journal out of order; ones that are seen perhaps as more important than maybe the next one in line? If anyone wants to do that, post here or in my journal but I'm going to restrict this to one album per member per time, in other words if you have three albums you'd like to me to review off the list, then you can suggest one now, another when someone else has had their say, and so on. Probably nobody will bother so it won't matter, but it's a good idea of Batty's so I'm just putting it out there.

And you.

Also, Batty, I wouldn't talk about hideous covers when you're a Manowar fan. Just sayin'....

I had considered that, but I was on mobile at the time and was too lazy to look it up. It's #76. Here's the original review: http://www.musicbanter.com/rock-meta...ml#post1547473

OK, done. It'll be next up. Not sure when, as I'm doing very intensive reviews on these albums, but I'll put it next in line.

113. At the Gates - Slaughter of the Soul (1995)





I don't remember when I bought this album, but I've listened to it countless times since. It almost feels like I've had it for my whole life. There will never be another melodic death metal album like it or that can match it, and anyone who disagrees is a ****ing twat. The singer is so ****ing raw that you can almost hear the blood in his throat, and yet he emotes to an extent that I have never heard from an extreme metal singer. He is nihilism and despair.

Of course he must be so to complement the claustrophobic, relentlessly bleak music that could never be achieved by a band that was any more or less extreme. And those riffs. My god are they badass, yet off-kilter in a way that removes any sense of testosterone or aggression from them, leaving only an alien yet accessible sense of rage, which is perfectly complimented by the crushing yet mechanical, emotionless production.

Slaughter of the Soul was a once in a generation flash-in-the-pan album, and it's no wonder the band broke up after releasing it, cause what was the point in trying to better it?

P.S. And that dual outro of the keyboard track, originally meant to be part of a self-made horror movie by one of the band members, which fades into some of the best feedback of all-time, is quite possibly the best ending to a metal album I've ever heard.
