Mortal Treason/Living Sacrifice/Death/Impending Doom/Trouble

Reborn-LS is the only band i could ever stand that plays thrash. This release was more along an industrial side, relative to Meshuggah. Most memorable track is the single "Reject". Recommended for fans of: Ten Feet From Murder & Meshuggah. Overall Rating: 6.2/10
Symbolic-My favorite Death release. In Schuldiner's late days he went from Death metal more towards Prog Death. The CD has Gene Hoglan, from bands like Dethklok, Old Man's Child, Zimmer's Hole, Unearth, and many many more. Gene shows his supremacy of the double bass mixed with his technical jazz influenced cymbal and snare patterns. Chuck has amazing solos. The album has great grooves, lyrics, old school breakdowns. Anything a metalhead can ask for. Recommended for fans of: DEATH. Overall Rating: 387125/10
The Serpent Servant-Newest release by Impending Doom and their sophomore full-length. They went more in a ballsier deathcore direction with very dark atmospheric melodic lines fit in sporadicly, much like meshuggah. Their breakdowns are great and the bass drops (when heard) are immense. The CD's biggest two tracks to me are the one that the album is named after and of course "Anything Goes". Recommended for fans of: Meshuggah & Beneath The Massacre's breakdowns. Overall Rating: 8.9/10
The Skull-One of the 2 doom metal releases created by Trouble in their early life as a band. This one was the 2nd Doom Metal release and was headed more towards the psychadellic stoner metal direction, but still had doom as the huge picture. This one didn't have as many big tracks as "Psalm 9" but it was a good doom metal release for the early 80s. Recommended for fans of: Black Sabbath. Overall Rating: 6.7/10
