That intro has to be the intro to your album 😂
Damn this gonna be one cram-packed album lmao
@@themetalmeltdownofficial it will be hilarious
Slaughter of the Soul is one of those records no matter how depressed or hopeless I feel I can put this on and feel like 1v1 God. 10/10 5/5 forever!
God doesn't stand a chance when Slaughter Of The Soul is playing
My ranking:
S- Slaughter of the Soul, At War With Reality
A- Terminal Spirit Disease, The Red in the Sky is Ours, The Nightmare of Being
B- To Drink from The Night Itself, With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkness
No lower rankings for these guys, they´re great.
Robert: asks if I got a haircut
Me after having just come home from getting a haircut : “….omg 🤯, he’s a wizard”
I hadn’t realised there was anything before Slaughter Of The Soul. This definitely needs to be rectified!
*GOOOOOO*
(Intense Moshing starts)
One of the most important Metal bands of the last 20-30 years. The Gothenburg scene ain’t a thing without them and also you don’t get Metalcore without Slaughter of the Soul.
🐐: Slaughter of the Soul
S: The Red in the Sky is Ours
A: Terminal Spirit Disease, The Nightmare of Being
B: With Fear I kiss the burning Darkness
C: At War with Reality
D: To Drink from the Night itself
Intro 10/10
Your shirt says it all! Slaughtered 10/10
Love At The Gates. Usually around this time of year I get into a bit of a melodeath kick.
Good idea to talk about At The Gates, specially this Thursday which I'll be at Danforth for At The Gates with Municipal Waste and Enforced!
I can't fucking wait!
YEEEE SEE YA THERE BUD
awesome ranking huge fan of at the gates seeing at the gates with my dying bride and ministry at damnation festival in manchester england
Thats a pretty solid line-up my dude
@@themetalmeltdownofficial absolutely as well as 40 watt sun bell witch and aerial ruin converge ingested toxic holocaust incantation wolves in the throne room
I've shaved my head to the point of being completely shiny on top.....I usually take it all off with clippers but leave it stubbly because I just can't be bothered with the razor bit.... BUT I did use a razor today 🤯🥳....Nice of you to notice!😁
Oh the start of your video inspired me to listen to their last album and Slaughter of The Soul for the first time before watching the rest... Ordered CDs👍🖤
At The Gates is a weird band for me to analyze, because while I LOVE them instrumentally, Tomas Lindberg's voice for me has just gotten worse and worse in the albums from SOTS onwards. He just sounds more hoarse and out of breath the older he gets and he just doesn't do anything for me. My favourite album of theirs is The Red in the Sky is Ours because of the guitar tone that leans more towards death metal than it does anything resembling the semi-mainstream stuff people tend to think of as melodic death metal. More like Intestine Baalism and less like In Flames, if you know what I mean.
However, I DO like the risks they took with their 2021 album. Actually reminded me quite a bit of the debut.
Great video dude!
I'm re-downloading a few At The Gates albums, because your enthusiasm is infectious. Just your bringing up key moments had me fist-pumping.
Curious, what are your thoughts on Katatonia?
It'd be a huge undertaking, but a runthrough of their albums would be really cool. Maybe with a Gothy friend?
Anyways, cheers!
Really like Katatonia but I have to admit I'm not tooooo familiar with a lot of their discography.
Yeah it's a deep dive for sure. Either them or Opeth?
Anyways, really love your band retrospectives/run-throughs.
Hope it's not too hot in your place!
Good work!
Could you review the Suffocation or Incantation albums? I love those bands too
I'd be down someday, both great bands
Maybe also Obituary, Cannibal Corpse, and Bolt Thrower too 🔥🔥🔥
Slaughter of The Soul is my favorite ATG album!
Go!
Ah yes the melodeath riff kings also that intro was perfection
Turning tables is right up my alley.
Slaughter Of The Soul, At War With Reality, and The Nightmare of Being are the only ones I listen to anymore. I love all 3 of those records. I think At War With Reality is highly underrated.... I mean... The Night Eternal...come on... that is one huge epic masterpiece of a song... and the video for it is just as good!
Just saw At the Gates last night perform Slaughter of the Soul in Las Vegas. They absolutely killed it!
Great sound, killer energy, and swimming pool mosh pits!
JEAAAALLLOOOOUUUSS, saw footage of the whole thing, looked like so much fun
Sizzling!!!
I did get a haircut, thank you for noticing Mr. Metal Meltdown.
I see At the Gates tomorrow. 🤘
Niiiiiice, have fun bud
Nice
GO
Still waiting for a "Reviewing every Voivod Album".
Indeed was surprised, not to have found it here yet.
Okay, might be a bit of work, for they have a lot.
But You know em, You like em.
Well, I´d be glad to see that next ... or soon ... or sometimes
Nice Channel, by the way!
Lmao I'll get to it eventually, love me some Voivod afterall
YEESSSSSSSS! CHOMPYYYYY! ❤️❤️
Watched this right after getting a hair cut so thanks for the compliment lol
Let's gooooo
(Aye also, do you perhaps take review request at all?)
Recommendations yes, but not requests per say. If I took every request that came my way I wouldn't actually get much done lmao
@@themetalmeltdownofficial great to know! And thank you for the reply, Senpai 🙏
Review every Neurosis album next please! :)
oooooo that'd be a fun one, Neurosis rules
Slaughter of the Soul is of course one of the best metal albums ever made. Terminal Spirit Disease is excellent too. Can't get into the recent ones though, hopefully they are growers but I go back to them every so often and then haven't gotten me yet.
SO wait ... if Terminal Spirit Disease had been an EP, would you have covered it in this video?
I often end up skipping EPs when checking out a discography for the first time, but thinking about it now, so many heavy bands have EPs that are important to their development or even the development of their particular niche. Even this band has the Gardens of Grief EP to start with, which I'd say is a pretty important release for them.
Speaking of the early stuff though -- I feel it's been a bit misunderstood, although I'm glad you give it more praise than some. The production may be primitive, but the music? The music is more complex and intricate than much of what would come later -- maybe even a bit too much so at times. I've always been sort of middle of the road with this band although I can appreciate them and respect what they've done -- but both the Red in the Sky side and the Slaughter side have their strengths and weaknesses, I think. the Slaughter side is better executed (experience will do that) but it's maybe a bit too straightforward at times, whereas Red is (and the band even said this) their attempt to be the death meatl King Crimson, and maybe because they were young and inexperienced, sometiems it just sounds a bit unfocused (that violin is also horribly out of tune!). Glad to hear they seem to have gotten some of that particular progressive influence back -- must check out the latest record.
The "sophomore slump" you alluded to is probably due to the departure of Alf Svenson, who was the major songwriting force in the very early material. He also went off to more weird and progressive pastures in Oxiplegatz before seemingly disappearing from music entirely. There are people in the scene who only really appreciate the Alf era of At teh Gates, and they're not necessarily doing so because it's "primitive death metal".
Great video, man.
Thanks this is a new shirt
i think a kiss discography rank/review would be cool, they had so many different syles and genres in their career and i think it would make for a great video
(it would be very long tho lol)
I am nooooooot a KISS fan, not even a little bit. So, yeah, pass.
Yes haircut 2 weeks ago and new shirt yesterday
Slaughter of the Soul is one of those albums where learning all the songs doesn't feel like a chore because everyone is an absolute banger.
Sometimes your shirt looks like it reads At The Gaes! Deep down, we're all a little Gae! Lol
Jealous asfffffff, im dying to see them and dark tranquillity live
Red in the Sky is my favourite followed by Slaughter, Claws of Laughter Dead is their best song
The nightmare of being is my favorit 🤩
Interesting choice but a good one
More Chompy 🤘🏼
Great band actually. I love Slaughter of the Soul. There is nothing to skip here, nothing! "The Flames of the End" is actually a great way to end the album, as an instrumental. It is also quite varied as "Cold" doesn't sound the same as "Under a Serpent Sun" and that is what makes it great. Timeless \m/ \m/
Discography review of Kataklysm
That intro 😂
terrible 😢
Review every my dying bride album please
The only downside with At the Gates, which I've seen footage of, is that Tomas' voice is fried!
Never really been a fan of his post-1994 vocals.
@@wheelsofmercury Is that when Tomas starting to sound like shit?
@@robertsparling917 Don't quote me (as I'm not an ATG fan), but he does sound pretty good on the first album, which is my personal favourite for being more DEATH METAL than MELODIC, if you know what I mean, and therefore way more INTERESTING to my ears.
I love At the Gates, one of the best in melodic death metal and they have a fairly consistent discography. Here would be my rating of each ATG album:
The Red in the Sky Is Ours: 7/10
With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkness: 7.5/10
Terminal Spirit Disease: 8.5/10
Slaughter of the Soul: 9/10
At War with Reality: 7.5/10
To Drink from the Night Itself: 8/10
The Nightmare of Being: 8.5/10
I know it will be sacrilegious to some,but I actually prefer At War With Reality over Slaughter Of The Soul! I love At The Gates tho,easily one of the best melodic DM bands ever!
funnily enough I'm seeing a ton of slaughter of the soul hate lately.
Glad to see you’ve finally dropped the goofy look on your face in the thumbnails.
ATG is pretty nifty
In a massive carcass fan, so by extension I feel like I’m almost required to love ATG, but I really don’t care all that much for the non slaughter of the soul albums. For whatever reason they just don’t click with me.
I did get a haircut
It looks good bud
@@themetalmeltdownofficial thanks ma man
Slaugther of the Souls best album
everything after terminal spirit disease is bad everything before is the best metal album ever
L
Intro is definitely getting clipped. (You should seriously start your own clips channel btw)
In my humble opinion Slaughter of the Soul is a bit overrated. I only recently just listened to their whole discography and I knew that was considered their masterpiece and still is by many, heck I’ll even concede that it’s their best from their pre-breakup era but idk the newer stuff kicks way more ass in my opinion than anything they did back then. Maybe it’s cus I don’t have that nostalgia factor towards that album but idk maybe it’s just the production compared to the newer stuff.
My entry to the band was their cover of Captor of Sin from Slayer... it is one of the most savage song in the metal scene, instant fan! I bought then At war with reality which i really enjoyed and still enjoy. Getting more interested in Metal, I read everywhere that Slaughter of the Soul was the holy grail. My expectation was beyond belief....
What a HUGE disappointment it´s been for me. Honestly I can´t express how tiring and boring are the vocals and the drumming. This album is at best average for me and I´m not surprised to see it in many rankings of the most overrated albums. Sorry not to share your enthusiasm ;-/ Just so you know, taste is not universal...
I just don't understand why people worship "Slaughter of the Soul". In comparison with the first two albums it sounds simplified and kinda dumb. Like some groove metal albums.
Nice video, but your stuffed animal is very phallic like...
Makes sense
If you think an alligator plush looks phallic, well... kinda sus bro.
@@themetalmeltdownofficial
Don't monitor my thoughts. Just leave your plush alone in a room with me and close the door
my god the riff singing was so bad
I hadn’t realised there was anything before Slaughter Of The Soul. This definitely needs to be rectified!
Definitely change that man, plenty of sweet tunes
