Bang your head to 50 great albums.

Do you have the original version of Slowly We Rot?

[John M]

Yes I do. An upload will be forthcoming.

[Raven Faust]

That Senser album you sent me was absolutely mind blowing.
Do you recomend anything else by them?

[Sports fan! (Eagles fan)]

yeah I am also a big fan of Dopethrone, isn't it great that they're from Dorset? about as far removed from the desert as you can get
to CC i would recommend Come My Fanatics

I'm impressed with your list making skills, usually you get a terribly biased and one sided list bu you're covering a lot. Keep it up! I'm really curious if some of my favorite albums will be on here.

Man that album is so good! I don't listen to much metal nowdays, but when i do it's proper stuff like this.

Senser are indeed British but alas; I think only a few of us will like them due to the Hip Hop influences, compared to say Stinkin Fart who just add a few lines to each track and made bloody millions!

Can a mod clean this thread up a little please as it's turned into another bitchfest

#47. Anathema-Judgement (1999)

It's happened again hasn't it? Yet another Metal album that balances musical dexterity with passion and intelligence get's completely overlooked. Probably because it's not deemed 'heavy' enough by the usual close minded crowd.

Imagine a corabination of Opeth's more mellow moments, Porcupine Tree's juxtapostion of light and dark with a smattering of Tool without the obvious chugging riRAB and you are half way there.

The album works more on mood and atmosphere than conventional riRAB and is all the better for it. If you dislike metal due to the ill percieved simplicity and crass delivery then this album should change your mind.

Lyrically poignant and musically uplifting yet sorabre, Anathema are a thinking mans Metal band who barely conform to the cliches associated with the genre.

Quite simply it is one of those albums that sneaks up on you and ensnares you it's eloquence and beauty.

I only recently started listening to these guys and have only heard Adultery (and some other non-DFD albums), so this was my first time hearing this track. The Mr. Bungle influence here isn't quite as apparent as in the stuff I have heard, however, I do hear a good bit of Portrait of An American Family-era Marilyn Manson. And being that that album holRAB a special place in my musical history and is MM's best album, that's alright by me. I had planned to check out other DFD albums so I might as well go for this one next.


I've never actually listened to this band but I just want to say that aside from the stereotypical metal band logo, the album artwork is nice and has aged very well. I think it would be just as current if it were released today. Underground hip-hop, maybe. I think it's great.
