Abigor is one of my top three black metal bands, but I much prefer their material from 1993 to 2001. It had an otherworldly magic to it.

Got a fave? This is my first time hearing them.

Whaaaaat?!?! Duuude. You need to listen to their entire discography from beginning to end. Just do it. You can thank me later.

I listened to their new album today, and it's not noteworthy at all compared to their legendary '90s albums.

The new Summoning album is out!

This is another one of those bands that needs a listen to their discography to understand how great they are. Their older albums were simply epic. Although it's not bad, the newer stuff kind of puts me to sleep. The bright/thin tone isn't helping either.

Yeah, some bands do well with that trebly sound (Paysage, Striborg), others need meat to them. Summoning is one of them. Stronghold is so good.

These bands are intricately related, with shared members and so on. All are well worth hearing.

Gojira is always stunningly well recorded for sure. Also, possibly the heaviest band ever to see live.

Interesting...

This is pretty much the album that got me into metal back in 1999/2000. Mandatory listening for any serious metalhead.

haha. Pretty much. I had heard other metal bands before then, including mainstream nu metal like Slipknot...but this is what made me a metalhead.

M8 i recon more than half the reason why they sound so good is because of the sound engineer.
Also the bass is very audiable and ****s with the drums very wel wich is a nod to the ratm shoog primus and tools .. fkn good that

Agree - saw them in 2007 with Lamb of God and Trivium. I was part of the Roadrunner Records street team and got into the venue early to put up posters. Joe walked up to me and said 'Nice poster!' and I didn't even know who he was at that time! Needless to say, I knew very well who they were after the show, they were so crushingly heavy and brilliant live.

They were also the band that got me into high end audio. The first time I heard 'Ocean Planet' on good headphones convinced me I needed to invest in better audio gear.
