I agree, that is their top album! But I do have to say that Bloodhymns has some outstanding songs also.

Cynic is amazing. Love the complexity of their music. They very much remind me of Atheist, another phenomenal band. Piece Of Time is one of my favorite albums

Go ahead, be a music jerk!! I am. Why don't you like Cynic? Is it based on a popular opinion or does the music itself just not evoke that certain fire of your abyss?

Just got the new Absu album a few days ago. Sooo Awesome!! A bit more atmosphere this time around, but still killer black/thrash. Check it out!!

So I'm listening to Omen right now because I haven't had a classic traditional heavy metal fix for a while, and in one song, "The Axeman," they sing "Bow down to the axeman," but at first it really sounded like "Bow down to the assman." Just thought that was appropriate for here. I'm totally an ass man. Also a breast man. And a belly man. Etc.

But mostly I don't want this thread to stay buried because it brings me lots of metallic joy.

Been getting real into sludge recently, among other doomy stuff, even though I don't really have a lot of experience with it. Baroness is probably my favorite. Listened to Made Out of Babies today, and it was really awesome, but I really can never judge an album after one listen.

Also, since I'm above all else an old school speed/thrash kind of guy, and I haven't checked out a new thrash band in almost a month (Hexen was the last one, and they're friggin awesome), I downloaded (I'll buy eventually) some Liege Lord. Not as thrashy as I was led to believe, but damn good.

By the way, on the 28th, Bonded by Blood, Exmortus, and Witchhaven are playing a FREE show at the Water Grill in Brooklyn. I'm probably gonna go. If anyone's in the area, Bonded by Blood and Exmortus are really awesome new thrash bands, especially Exmortus. Never heard Witchaven, but it's free, so they could be terrible and it would still be worth it.

Listening to Witchaven's Myspace stuff now, it's at least competent blackened thrash.

Omen is great old metal! So many melodic riffs. You should also check out Stormwitch..amazingly underrated. For great blackened thrash check out Bewitched and Witchery!

I agree! I lost my virginity in junior high while listening to the self titled Deicide album. Luckily she was a metalhead
