    Listened to this a bit over the weekend, what a great album really fantastic musicianship and the vocals work well too. Certainly a few years ahead of their time. Started a poll here a while back on best death metal albums and I totally forgot this one - I would rank it up there as one of the best.

    Any other lost gems that you guys have dug up recently in extreme or death metal??

    It's certainly an astounding album. Not sure what else I can say about it that hasn't been said before.

    I also really like Elements, their 3rd album. I assume you've heard that?

    no never, Atheist kinda fell down between the cracks with me and my friends when I was big into death metal in the early 90s, we all heard of them but not too many copies around Clare!!!

    Autopsy were also a decent band some of their lyrics were hilarious.

    Next lesson we'll move on to the letter B

    Ah, get yourself a copy of Elements fast, aswell as Piece Of Time.

    Never listened to Autopsy myself tbh with you.

    I dunno whether to recommend them or not Mental Funeral is up there rated highly , personally I like Severed Survival. The lyrics are quite brutal - combine Carcass with CCorpse but alot cleverer and funny. The drummer was the singer and he just smashed those cymbals and roared like a lunatic.. on second thoughts check em out !!

    You had the name right the first time. And yeah, awesome band, so proud to have seen them at their last European show ever. I used to like Unquestionable Presence best, but I'm not sure about it, having listened to Piece of Time and Elements more. Incredible albums all of them, landmark stages in metal.

    Piece of Time and Unquestionable Presence are absolutely amazing, always have time to listen to them.
    Saw them at Graspop this on something like their 2nd last show ever and they were fantastic. Kelly Schaefer is an endlessly enjoyable frontman and Tony Choy :eek:
    Gonna miss this band, but delighted I got to see them. Opened with Unquestionable Presence and I remember a closing stretch of something like Psychic Saw, Piece of Time and Mother Man. Great stuff.
