COVER OF THE YEAR 2010

Here the top whatever in some kind of order but maybe not.

Thorngoth - Leere

Immolation - Majesty and Decay

Human Filleted - Blunt Force Embludgeonment (probably gonna post that soon)

Acid Witch - To Magic Sex and Gore

Sodom - In War and Pieces

Hooded Menace - Never Cross The Dead

Drudkh - Handful of Stars

I surely forget a bunch of badass artwork and im sorry about that also feel free to tell me what cover gave you a boner this year.

HAARP - THE FILTH

The cover describe them almost perfectly: heavy, nasty, violent and sexually explicit sludgy/death/doom, ok maybe not sexually explicit but that thing is one of the heaviest fucking record of the year, complete destruction of everything in sight. Enough said press play and get out the way.

ALL, ALONE

ABYSMAL DAWN - PROGRAMMED TO CONSUME

ELEMENT - THE ENERGY

Once upon a time lyrics about space and shit were original, but now every tech death band ever as those kind lyrics not that i care about that most of the time anyway, personally im into satanic, misanthrope, nihilistic or Amon Amarth lyrics which are also pretty worn out but whatever. This is the follow up to Aeons Past which came out in 2007 and while they still are a tech death band they sound alot more like later era Death than say Decrepit Birth. Everything on the album is cleaner and softer i guess. Lots people are bitching about it not being brutal enough, i actually enjoy that album and the fact that it is not all out brutality. The album is consitant in is goodness and end in style with the instrumental Liquid Space Eyes and Dreaming Forever. Also the title track is one of my highlight of the year.

INTO THE EVERDARK

LAY DOWN ROTTEN - GOSPEL OF THE WRETCHED

Metal Blade released this record and i never knew, took a good 6 month after the release to actually listen to it, i mean i dont know, but having such fine product i would have made sure everybody knew this shit was out, but maybe im the only one who didnt know. Anyway this is death metal not too technical not too brutal and just the right amount of melody, this shit seriously rips. The vocal are standard death growl but get real low brutal death style some times in most songs like the end of Thy Wont Be Done as favorite of mine. Dan Swano and Mantin van Drunen have guest spot on this think so how can it be bad right. Dan also mastered and mixed the whole thing so it sound fucking huge. Dont be fooled by the somewhat deathcorish name, this is Death metal the right way.

Holy shit metal blade only sell this digitaly, bad move guys i only give you my money if can have the fucking cd in my hand, well now im piss off. Fuck you Metal Blade.

ALTERING THE WHORE (the whore being Metal blade)

KRONOS - COLOSSAL TITAN STRIFE

Those French dudes probably recorded the best death metal album of all time in Colossal Titan Strife. Dont believe me, well eat a dick nigga. Seriously though everything on this album is top notch. Vocals have good variety too them from low growls too high, always at the right moment, the riffs are totally insane, songs like Phaeton, Kronos and Infernal Worms Fields will make you dick explode.

BUY IT (i dont know what the fuck is up with this site but it was a total pain ordering it and im not totally sure i did, so ill keep you posted)

AETERNUM PHARAOS CURSE

DILUVIAN - EPIDEMIC

Hey, i know what your thinking from seeing that cover "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO deathcore suck, fuck that shit yo" but with Diluvian (man the new myspace sucks ass, not just this one i mean in general yo, kno wat im sayin') you barely notice, it goes down pretty well kinda like  The Black Dahlia Murder. But they are way more death metal than BDM. Epidemic is melodic but stay manly about it. This is not At the Gates with breakdown, like some people might say this a nice balance between the Death and the Core. And as a bonus they are French.
