beyond the embrace for me too -- I think it's outstanding. Fantastic skills.

Also lettuce "outta here" and soulive "vol 2 and 3"

May look at "at the gates" since i like beyond the embrace so much.

I really like Beyond the Embrace. I think "Against the Elements" is the better of the two discs, but both are very good. Like From Zero had said, the production could be a bit better on "Insect Song", but it's really not that bad. It doesn't however do the guitar work justice. I saw them live this past weekend with Trivium and Iced Earth, and they were damn good live. Not as amazing as Iced Earth, but very good nonetheless. Seeing them live I got to hear the guitars shine, and the vocals were great too - blended perfectly with the music without being overpowering.

Sorry I haven't bought a CD in 3 years.

I like the At the gates "slaughter of the soul" I got even more. Awesome.

"Against the elements" is the b.t.e album I have. I don't have insect song yet. I love elements, though. I don't like the bits I've heard of insect for some reason. I can only believe how tight they are live. I've heard good things about that iced earth show. . . .

Also got Nile "In their darkened shrines". Boy ... is that death metal or what? . . .

That is one of my favorite metal albums ever. Good choice.

Good pick up. You said it "that is death metal". Love the song Unas Slayer of the Gods.

young guns, how you liking Kalmah? I must say that I do enjoy it.

Another nice pick up majutsu, you're on a streak.

Today I was running errands and I saw a guy wearing a Deicide shirt. So I walked up and started to try and talk metal with him. He looks down and sees that I'm wearing a Foo Fighter shirt and scoffs.

Note to self: Don't talk metal on laundry day.

It's definitely a good CD. My only complaint is that sometimes it's a little hard to hear the vocals. But overall it was a good buy. I may have to pick up "They Will Return" and "Swamplord" sometime soon.

Do you have either of the other discs? If so, how do they compare to "Swampsong"?
