I have always liked this band ever since I listened to house by the cemetary. People always complain that this band is not very technical or that they are not very talented. This band has never claimed to be very skilled musicians but have only promised to be unrelentlesly brutal. I just love that detuned sound in this album and it has very memorable songs. The movie samples are great just like they always are and the songs are very fast. They may not be the most talented death band but they sure are one of the most brutal and heavy of all bands. GO OUT AND BUY THIS!!!

This cd has the better songs of the band between 1994 to 2004, Very heavy and alternative. It sounds great, like Tool or Godsmack but in spanish.

This is one of thier best albums ever. Pretty heavy, the boys are at thier best. Can't think of any other rock album in the last 10 years that kicked ass like this.

Picked up the LP on their site after stumbling on them through the Riding Easy label.  Heavy and evil doom with a lot of aggression (the band hit those notes hard, man). Play them nice and loud. Hope another record's in their future.

Origin is one of the heaviest bands around, but the don't have it all.  The drummer (Ex-Angelcorpse) is very, very good, but his particular style of drumming resembles a family of monkeys beating on cooking pans.  The guitars have a tendency to drone on, and this causes the songs to blend together.  This is not entirely bad, since the basic formula is good, most of the songs are good too.  There are supposedly 3 vocalists, but I have never heard anyone except for the lead vocalist.  He has a very menancing growl. If you like this type of music, get a CD by Nile or Cryptopsy 1st, but do pick this up.  If you like this, check out the 2 aformentioned bands, Mortician, Yattering, Suffocation, Cephalic Carnage (Ex-Bass player in origin) or Hate Eternal.

this cd is great. These guys are the best Seattle band out of the four,although soundgarden and pearl jam are good,while nirvana is merely ok. Anyway, this cd is very dark,heavy and depressing and thats why its so good. Layne Staley is one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time and Jerry Cantrell is a very talented songwriter/guitarist. Mike Starr(Mike Inez is the current bassist) and Sean Kinney make up a very talented and powerful rhythm section. The best songs are the hits rooster,would,them bones,angry chair,and down in a hole. Check this cd out, you won't be dissapointed.

Celtic Frost released the heavy, avante-garde, and downright weird "Into the Pandemonium" in 1987, and it instantly became one of the greatest metal albums of all time (along with Voivod's "Nothingface", Tool's "Aenima," and Opeth's "Blackwater Park"). So, you have to handicap the first Frost release in 16 years - there is no way they can top themselves, even though most have probably forgiven Thomas G. for the "Cold Lake" debacle. But this is more complicated than that.

"Monotheist" quite possibly is the heaviest metal album ever recorded. Ever. This thing is a beast. While there are "One In Their Pride"-type experimental moments, Celtic Frost's comeback CD will generally leave your eardrums throbbing.

The sound is somewhat reminiscent of the band's "Morbid Tales"-era Frost, with emphasis on the slower, doomier songs like "Procreation of the Wicked." But "Monotheist" is 21st century metal, and tight as hell - a pummelling update of late 80's pre-black metal thrash. And the song topics are about as dark as you can get, with the weaving concept of a man, or a god, or both, trying to find one's place in reality.

"Domain of Decay" is the absolute standout. I can't listen to that track enough. And I love the fact that Thomas G. has returned his vocals to their earlier state: angry, intense, and powerful, rather than that whiny, glam-rock purr he used in Cold Lake, the one that somehow filtered into "Vanity/Nemesis." (A quick note about that one: "Vanity/Nemesis" probably would have been considered a decent record if it wasn't preceded by "Cold Lake." But it wasn't good enough to make us forget. "Monotheist" has obliterated all memory of "Cold Lake," and then some.)

"Monotheist" should be in any metalhead's CD collection. As the header suggests, it is one of the top 10 metal albums ever released. Celtic Frost, the legendary band from Switzerland, has shown they are heavier, darker, and better than the rest. And maybe even better than that. It just took them nearly two decades to go out and prove it again.

Yes this is a death metal band but not just mindless banging away at a drum...they groove and half their songs are slow, with some fast parts. and super heavy.
sooo gooood..... good old Obituary !  this is basically a best of... and ide say almost every song is awesome. a good intro to Obituary if u have never heard anything by them. The way the lead singer sings takes some getting used to -its a growl basically- but it fits soo well. The first song will knock you on ur a$$  ("internal bleeding").  "kill for me" is also great song .
when u get it, look up the lyrics online

Rage Against the Machine hits a grand slam with their first effort. The anger and aggression with the vocals and the hard hitting guitar riffs make a unique combination of style and force not seen in the music industry with this type of flair for a long time. This album is intense, heavy and angry, what more could you want. Outstanding work by Rage Against the Machine.

This CD has a great heavy sound I would say the heaviest of all their CD's up to this one. I only wish it rocked more to make use of it. There are far too many mellow moments with acoustic guitar and keyboard which just drag  the cd down. I enjoy Savatages mellow moments as it is part of what they do  but there are far far too many. Highlights for me are the first three and  'Nothin Going On'. POTN, HOTMK & GB are their CD's to get still if you  want a more rocking Savatage. Zak is a good singer but Jon still is the  main man.

Any heavy music produced after 1986 owes something to this magnum opus of metal.  If you owe allegiance to any of metal's many diverse subgenres, this should be the first album in your collection.
James Hetfield croons, howls, and snarls as he and Kirk Hammett deliver a mindblowing double guitar attack.  Lars Ulrich's drumming is controlled, consistent, and insanely fast.  The late Cliff Burton delivers a complex and legendary performance on bass.
The efforts of all four combine to present fans with thrash metal that is pounding, angry, opinionated, and truly epic, from the haunting acoustic opening of "Battery" to the blistering closing track, "Damage Inc."
If you do not own this album, you cannot call yourself a fan of metal.

This band is so unlike anything I have ever heard.  They can do it all, from hard rock to softer sounds, to almost a 311 reggae sound in a couple songs.  The lead singer is fantastic.  A Brand New Hurt will take you on a ride of many different feelings, sounds, and ideas.  A must have for any open minded fan of great heavy music.

This is a brutally terrific album by a band that I can confidently say will be one of the forerunners in the future of heavy metal/hardcore music.  From start to finish this album comes at you viciously.  The messages from lead singer Randy Blythe in songs like "Ruin", "Blood Junkie", and "Bootscraper" are as painfully inspiring as chaotically sounding.  To be frank, this band does not screw around at all.  They come straight at you with all they have, and I believe that is the future of heavy music.

I know it had to have been hard to top their self titled debut cd, but I think that this just might have done it. It is filled with a much much angrier sound (if you can imagine that) and there are aren't any bad songs on here. I prefer the older intro to this one, but then the intro just gives a hint of what's waiting on into the cd. The pain filled screams are rampant, along with raging guitars and double bass drums at blistering speeds. Slipknot's is the best thing metal has going for it right now. I have strongly recommended this cd to everyone I know. Fave song is probably "My Plague" or "the Shape" F'n AWESOME!

All that needs to be said about this band is they do everything the old way and for some reason that makes their music original in the sea of today's metal.  It's a power trio, lead by the 9 stringer guitar of Matt Pike and they're based on doing everything the old way.  That means they're all in the same room in the studio, jamming, writing songs and all finished in a couple of weeks, maybe a couple of months.  They're not going to sit there and go over and over and over the music, adding touches here or refining here, which appears to be what is killing the life of the music today.  Instead, you can feel that they created something good.  This is riffing at its best, there's equal parts anger and moody parts, with some instrumentals thrown in.  Its heavy but somehow that never overshadows what the bottom line is and that is good music.
