Terrasite is absolutely S tier. 10/10 album front to back. It's gonna be really difficult to top this year. What an absolutely fantastic experience this is!
I love Cattle Decaptation and I love your reviews! Just a quick correction, you used "Regret and the Grave", a song from The Harvest Floor (2009), while talking about Humanure (2004) at 8:04 and 9:50
Nice ranking! Can absolutely agree with the top 4 albums and I am so happy Terrasite is such an awesome album. Wasn't sure if they could follow up after Death Atlas but man am I glad they proofed me wrong :D. Still enjoying your format with the growls and the jokes, you guys puttin in some work here! Appreciate it!
That was awesome dudes! Been getting into Cattle Decapitation slowly over the course of this year and was really looking forward to Terrasite and your review on it. This discography ranking was all that and more! Love all the content you guys are putting out and as a long term music fan and metal-head Ive discovered so many great bands to add to my rotation thanks to your channel, keep up the great work fellas! Cheers from Australia
Hey, Forge mate! Thanks so much for this fantastic comment. We were also in a rut of not finding good, new music so we wanted to take others on the journey of discovering new stuff, so we appreciate it when others let us know that has happened. Have a great weekend!
I'm almost in 100% agreement with you. I do like To Serve Man just a little bit more than Human Jerky and Humanure, but other than that I would rank these all in the same order.
Death Atlas is definitely my overall favorite. But Terrasite is absolutely god tier as well, I have only listened to it like 4 times so far, so it could grow on me. That being said Monolith and every album after it are S tier to me.
I remember listening to Human Jerky and Homovore when they came out and deciding I didn't want to listen to Cattle Decap ever again. I gave them another shot with karma bloody karma because I liked the album title. Been a brutal and badass musical journey with them since. Top tier vid
I consider Death Atlas to be my 3rd favorite album of all time and when i went into Terrasite i was not expecting that i would think about changing that. Now Here i am having them share that spot because both are so god damn awesome
Terrasite is better then Death Atlas in the fact that Travis didn't overuse the same clean chorus formula throughout every single song, so when the cleans do come up they have much more impact. They didn't "force" anything on Terrasite so it just flows soooo much better. "Just Another Body" is probably one of the greatest closers to any metal album that I have ever heard. Even better then Death Atlas which I honestly thought they were never going to be able to top but they did it with "Just Another Body". They have absolutely peaked as a band and it's amazing to see them starting to get the recognition that they deserve.
@@Remmy0930 i personally think just another body couldhave been cut in favor of one or two better tracks or having solastalgia as the closer. Or Cutting the song in half and keeping the first half in favor of making a shorter closer track that doesnt drag as much. Tho this is just a minor issue i have with the album cuz as a whole it is a masterpiece, tho the closer honestly shouldhave been approached differently.
❤ cattle decap are amazing , saw them in Melbourne Australia last two tours that drum sound is amazing and they attract a very varied crowd, which is awesome , they are a genuine band who just get better all the time, Great ranking as usual guys
Thanks for going a bit more end-depth with the entire history of Cattle Decap, trying to watch reviews about Terrasite just have comments about how Travis hates grind, but like, thats what was stopping them from progressing for years, i was in highschool-ish when they dropped their first album and honestly was blinded by slipknot, but I understand his dislike for grind, had them stuck for years, Terrasite though, I listen to constantly, now Slipknot, I occasionally remember...excellent tier list!
Terrasite is probably my AOTY so far - Fires in the Distance is close. I'd rank it third in their discography behind Death Atlas and Monolith, which are both near perfect records - my only complaint about either would be the interlude tracks on Death Atlas makes the album drag a bit.
I like that Terrasite plopped through my letterbox as I was watching this. I also think "plopped" is a word befitting anything related to Cattle Decapitation.
@Forgemaster Metal Reviews well i haven't gotten to listen to terrasite all the way through, so atm death atlas and extinction, respectively, but terrasite is probably going to take an s after a full listen.
@@forgemastermetal the unerasable past off DA and just another body are perfect ending to both albums. The unerasable psst is the only deathmetal song to make me cry.
Yeah, the last four albums are something else. It's very rare for a band to put out that many albums in a row of that quality. Very few bands even reach 3 in a row that are so good. 4 is unheard of. (I think Archspire is managing this feat too. For them the last 3 are perfect.)
Ne Obliviscaris is currently holding their 4 masterpieces in a row streak, definitely recommend checking them out to everyone who has never heard their stuff before.
I love CD, amazing talent, and Travis is one of the best vocalists in metal right now. I hopped on the bandwagon when I heard Death Atlas, and have been eagerly awaiting Terrasite.
@@forgemastermetal These guys are at the top of their game. It's a deathmetal album I can listen too. The variety in vocal style, the technical guitar that's not annoying, and a rhythm section that grooves all to hell.
I started listening to them around Karma Bloody Karma, but Monolith made me love them. Kingdom of Tyrants is a fucking banger and the first song I heard off Monolith and I absolutely love it. I genuinely believe their 4 most recent albums are fantastic and a staple. Terrasite is a great album that's a bit more raw and in your face compared to Death Atlas. I saw them live for like the 5th time in Tampa a few days ago and holy shit Terrasite slaps live.
Up until June 3rd when i saw them with Dark Funeral, the only song i had heard was Forced Gender Reassignment for obvious reasons, but ever since that day, i have listened to nothing but Cattle Decap, this band is fucking amazing and Terrasite is perfect.
More of a prog fan here(The Ocean, Leprous, Rishloo), but man Cattle is fucking INSANE, especially Monolith-Terrasite. Im also absolutely DIGGING the fact that Travis is doing cleans, they were especially intimidating in Terrasite with Photic Doom and The Insignificants. Between Terrasite and Anthropocene, I can't choose, but goood god, I can't get enough.
@@forgemastermetal Agreed, my favorite song on the record being Subatlantic lmao. The way that song ends is so fucking good. Still doesn't top Phanerozoic II's song Pleistocene imo though. However Subatlantic is a great end to Holocene, especially if they decide to push into Anthropocene even.
I agree with your rankings. This band just keeps getting better. Plus I saw them live for the first time Tuesday and they were incredible. Travis is an absolute beast of a frontman and singer. Anthropocene got me into them and they've kept me interested and gotten better with each release.
Most of the time I agree with Brandon, but this time I have to agree with Ben. Death Atlast then Monolith of Inhumanity. Terrasite is one Bad Ass Album. Looking forward to your updated list of Best Metal Albums of all time. I totally enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work 🤘
i agree with everything you said except for anthroposcene being A. I think that album is S. that being said though I agree with almost everything here. very good tier list!
Wow! I didn’t realize how long Cattle Decapitation has been around! I went through their early stuff and it was nice to see how they have progressed. The new one is worth the hype.
Terrasite has blown my fucking socks off, I've spun the diks 20+ times already. Unbelievably great. I honestly thought Death Atlas couldn't be beaten, I thought wrong!!!
@@forgemastermetal I just started listening to the new album this morning I think I like it better than the last one. I'm not downing on it but this one is special. I agree with your top 4 albums being extremely special. Thanks for all the hard work you guys do. It's helped me find some great tunes.
Cattle Decap Ranking Albums (to me): S: Monolith Of Inhumanity, Terrasite A: The Harvest Floor, The Anthropocene Extinction, Death Atlas B: Karma, Bloody, Karma C: Humanure D: Homovore E: Human Jerky F: To Serve Man.
Dave Otero is my GOAT. He is the bass god producer. I didn't know he produced this album, but it completely makes sense. He makes Allegaeon and Inferi sound amazing.
Agree for nearly everything. Except, that I personally like the the lyrics on the anthropocene extinction the most. The two newer albums may be musically rounder and so on... but they do not, in my perception, deliver this absolutely PISSED OFF hate towards humanity and our doings... And actually, that is what made this one of my favourite bands. I knew them before, i liked it before. But when that album came out, I really felt it. I heard the scresms and anger, the desperation of tortured animals in his voice. It wasn't just an extreme Sound any longer, it was like... intentionally animalistic... what I'm trying to say is. I just loved the direct snd uncompromising delivery of the "fuck you humanity" that was never reached before or after. Because of the realness of the subject. There is no what if, no imagine when... it's here, now, you, me, fuck everything. I miss that s little on the latest two records. Although I know it's seemlingly a consecutive story, kind of... anthropocene being the now, atlas being the end soon coming, terrasite being the after... well. Anthropocene Extinction has the best lyrics, best delivered ever... my opinion...
They are my favorite Modern Death Metal band. I don’t think they have a single bad album really. I like the Grindcore type of stuff. Admittedly I love more Deathgrind stuff like this. But tbh though this Band didn’t find Greatness until Harvest Floor, would say they became my favorite modern death metal band since that record, it really feels they became Cattle Decapitation with that record. . Monolith of Inhumanity and Anthropocene Extinction are my 2 Favorite Modern death metal records. Death Atlas was a interesting and great album. And Terrasite is a Very easy AOTY contender for me. (Would even argue it’s better than Death Atlas)
Ahh this was a great general review of Cattle, this band is also one of my favourite metal bands ever! Gotta say To Serve Man to me is their worst album solely cause the drumming drags everything down, exhaustingly repetitive and sloppy, and way too loud in the mix, though the instrumentals feel refreshing for the time and I find Travis' vocals the most gnarly in that record. With my favourite records being Monolith of Inhumanity, The Harvest Floor, and The Anthropocene Extinction, Monolith being my full introduction to the band, a nasty package full of the most creative and refreshing death metal I've ever heard! But overall there's a lot of stuff to enjoy from all their records. Though since Death Atlas and now Terrasite, it was kind of hard to get into those records (especially Terrasite, but Death Atlas has a lot of bangers). They all still sound great though! But despite all that, I will always cheer them on cause these guys poured all their heart into their music for decades and I couldn't ask for more! EDIT: After some second listens, I am REALLY liking the singles off Terrasite! (the non-single tracks are harder to get into).
Monilith has to be my favorite! Terrasite is a close second though. Then Death Atlas, then Humanure, then The Anthropocene Extinction. The rest I could leave or take.
Discovered Cattle with Forced gender and got the lp, been a huge fan of their last four. The band’s progression and Travis changing his singing style up has been amazing.
Not really digging Terrasite tbh. I like the less layered and more "slammy grindy" sound they used to have during the monolith era. The album is very well written and can forsure tell alot of work went into it. I just prefer more raw grindy types of death metal.
@@forgemastermetal it was interesting to hear your take! I personally felt Death Atlas was a slight step down after Monolith & Anthroposcene, so I already find Terrasite to be their 3rd best. Gotta give it some more time to properly assess what I think of it, but it was interesting to hear from 2 guys who found Death Atlas to be the best!
I found this band with Anthopocene and I was absolutely sold. But, as time has passed I actually rate Harvest Floor higher than any because I feel that it was sort of flirting with the sound to come, but it was so inventive, weird and, dare I say, proggy. In hindsight, from Monolith and forward I feel that they just went AC/DC and said "this is it, this is our sound and we'll do it over and over again" and I'm quite frankly bored now.
Did you guys see the music video for A Photic Doom? Pretty creepy. 😨😆 Think I'm gonna' have Terrasite and Death Atlas on for a while, boys. I know people like to crap on them (and TBH, some of it IS deserved), but I'm also genuinely enjoying the new song from Asking Alexandria.
Great video guys! The Harvest Floor is as far back as I prefer to revisit. The earlier albums are fine but don't do much for me. My rankings are as follows: 1. Monolith 2. Anthropocene 3. Death Atlas 4. Terrasite 5. Harvest Floor ...... everything else. Cheers!
It's kind of scary if Travis lyrics prove to be so prophetic. For now they sound to me extremely misanthropic, but hell, I don't want to be part of the world described in his records.
Damn good album. Loved the last two songs on the album the most. I wouldn't call the album amazing but it's damn good. Personally I'd give it an 8.5/10. I wholeheartedly agree that this band has just gotten better and better as they age. Good video guys.
@@forgemastermetal it may take more listens... I've listened to it once all the way through but on the first listen it kind of lost its way in the middle section. Loved the begining and the ending but it lost a bit in the middle. We'll see as what the future holds.
Regret and the grave didnt come out on Humanure. S tier- Terrasite, Death Atlas A tier- Anthropocene, Monolith, Harvest Floor B Tier- To Serve Man, Karma C Tier- Humanure D Tier- Human Jerky, Homover
I had never listened to Cattle Decapitation before and checked out Terrasite yesterday. Maybe it was because I was tired or just wasn't ready for Travis' weird "goblin" vocals but I left the album asking myself "why don't I like this?" Obviously the album is very good but I didn't leave it raving about it like other people are. Of course I will give it more spins to see if it clicks.
The song regret and the grave is from harvest floor not from humanure. I love every album they have but I prefer a little more that gore grind disgusting shit from the EPS and older albums, is there anyone like me? Cause the majority prefer the new ones
For me it’d be something like: S: Monolith of Inhumanity, The Anthropocene Extinction A: Death Atlas, Terrasite B: The Harvest Floor, Karma Bloody Karma C: Humanure, To Serve Man D: Homovore, Human Jerky Also yes fucking please to your favorite metal albums ever video. I love that stuff.
Death atlas is basically perfection, I've listened to it front to back at least a dozen times over the last few days for preparation of terasite, bout to throw it on... Can't wait
Edit.. I don't think it tops death atlas, having said that it's top 3 after 3 listens, just not enough memorable goblin voice sections😂, and death atlas is so crushingly dark and catchy, it hits me right in those feels Album of the year contender❤
For me Monolith cannot be topped, Travis uses the "cleans" more sporadically and Kingdom of Tyrants might just be my favorite song of all time, Death Atlas is way too melodic/black metal for me, it's still good but weaker than Monolith, TAE and even Harvest. Terrasite, however is currently just behind Monolith.
Death Atlas was one hell of a tectonic shift. I find myself going back to that masterpiece constantly. Side note, is there a chance that we'll see a Napalm Death ranking in the future?
Terrasite is absolutely S tier. 10/10 album front to back. It's gonna be really difficult to top this year. What an absolutely fantastic experience this is!
Totally!!
WTF. Someone with the same Profilpic as me which is absolute Right about that Record
I'm not a huge death metal fan, but this band is special. ever since Monolith, they're basically unstoppable.
Easily dude
I love Cattle Decaptation and I love your reviews! Just a quick correction, you used "Regret and the Grave", a song from The Harvest Floor (2009), while talking about Humanure (2004) at 8:04 and 9:50

This bothered me too :D One of my fav songs and the album that made me fall in love with cattle decap
Yep I’m gonna have Terrasite on repeat for awhile 🤘🤘
YES.
Nice ranking! Can absolutely agree with the top 4 albums and I am so happy Terrasite is such an awesome album. Wasn't sure if they could follow up after Death Atlas but man am I glad they proofed me wrong :D.

Death Atlas definitely #1 for me personally..Its a freaking masterpiece 😊

Terrasite slaps hard
Welcome to the Forge, Niko!
This was so much fun to watch! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Love how this band has only gotten better to where they are delivering some of my favorite sounds in music.
Yes! Thanks for tuning in, mate!
Thanks for going a bit more end-depth with the entire history of Cattle Decap, trying to watch reviews about Terrasite just have comments about how Travis hates grind, but like, thats what was stopping them from progressing for years, i was in highschool-ish when they dropped their first album and honestly was blinded by slipknot, but I understand his dislike for grind, had them stuck for years, Terrasite though, I listen to constantly, now Slipknot, I occasionally remember...excellent tier list!

Love the new album Terrasite. It gets better with each listen.
First time i have 100% Agreed with you guys. Their last 4 album run has been nothing except colossal.
Absolutely!! Which stand out as your "S" Tier??
@Forgemaster Metal Reviews well i haven't gotten to listen to terrasite all the way through, so atm death atlas and extinction, respectively, but terrasite is probably going to take an s after a full listen.
I’ve listened to Scourge of the Offspring like a thousand times, it’s definitely the best on the album IMO.
Scourge, solastalgia, and the world goes on without you are my top 3 off the album. I enjoy the rest of the song but thoes 3 stand out to me.
Just a Body is an unbelievable closer
@@forgemastermetal the unerasable past off DA and just another body are perfect ending to both albums. The unerasable psst is the only deathmetal song to make me cry.

Terrasite is one Bad Ass Album.

@@forgemastermetal Leafs lol baby steps. Maybe they'll win round 2 in 19 years. I wanted the Leafs to win but I'm a Habs fan. Go Edmonton!lol
Their last five Cattle albums are all sitting comfortably as my favorite death metal albums of all time
YEP! We can see why.
Best newcomer BURDEN CALLED GOD. Best death metal in years
Ma and Mom jammed Cattle Decapitation today 😢
They are my favorite Modern Death Metal band. I don’t think they have a single bad album really. I like the Grindcore type of stuff. Admittedly I love more Deathgrind stuff like this. But tbh though this Band didn’t find Greatness until Harvest Floor, would say they became my favorite modern death metal band since that record, it really feels they became Cattle Decapitation with that record.
. Monolith of Inhumanity and Anthropocene Extinction are my 2 Favorite Modern death metal records. Death Atlas was a interesting and great album. And Terrasite is a Very easy AOTY contender for me. (Would even argue it’s better than Death Atlas)
It's sooooo good.
Ahh this was a great general review of Cattle, this band is also one of my favourite metal bands ever!
Gotta say To Serve Man to me is their worst album solely cause the drumming drags everything down, exhaustingly repetitive and sloppy, and way too loud in the mix, though the instrumentals feel refreshing for the time and I find Travis' vocals the most gnarly in that record.
With my favourite records being Monolith of Inhumanity, The Harvest Floor, and The Anthropocene Extinction, Monolith being my full introduction to the band, a nasty package full of the most creative and refreshing death metal I've ever heard! But overall there's a lot of stuff to enjoy from all their records.
Though since Death Atlas and now Terrasite, it was kind of hard to get into those records (especially Terrasite, but Death Atlas has a lot of bangers). They all still sound great though!
But despite all that, I will always cheer them on cause these guys poured all their heart into their music for decades and I couldn't ask for more!
EDIT: After some second listens, I am REALLY liking the singles off Terrasite! (the non-single tracks are harder to get into).
They should seriously try another mix for To Serve Man. The drums are just SO, SO bad,.
Common Cattle decap W
Yeah if W = win.
Monilith has to be my favorite! Terrasite is a close second though. Then Death Atlas, then Humanure, then The Anthropocene Extinction. The rest I could leave or take.
I know it's controversial to have humanure so high but I love it
Radical takes, Forgemate!
Stay tuned for my review for the new Cattle Decapitation on our channel The Great Metal Debate.
With the killer Terrasite they finally have become an excellent Tech Death Metal band. I would put Monument to S tier instead of Atlas.
Discovered Cattle with Forced gender and got the lp, been a huge fan of their last four. The band’s progression and Travis changing his singing style up has been amazing.
Definitely!!
personally I would put Humanure in A, To Serve Man in B and Monolith of Inhumanity in S
Right on!
Not really digging Terrasite tbh. I like the less layered and more "slammy grindy" sound they used to have during the monolith era. The album is very well written and can forsure tell alot of work went into it. I just prefer more raw grindy types of death metal.
(12:56) for the McGraw era (THE HARVEST FLOOR) :P

@@forgemastermetal it was interesting to hear your take! I personally felt Death Atlas was a slight step down after Monolith & Anthroposcene, so I already find Terrasite to be their 3rd best. Gotta give it some more time to properly assess what I think of it, but it was interesting to hear from 2 guys who found Death Atlas to be the best!
Thanks for tuning in!
What song was played at 17:47 ? I’m a new cattle decap fan
@@TheFinderOvDrama manufactured extinct!! Sorry this is a year late, hopefully by now you’re still listening to them!! :)
All these albums are S tier this band has made zero bad albums from ten torments to terrasite
We clearly disagree lol. That's what makes the band special, though. Their growth has been something to be entranced by.
I found this band with Anthopocene and I was absolutely sold. But, as time has passed I actually rate Harvest Floor higher than any because I feel that it was sort of flirting with the sound to come, but it was so inventive, weird and, dare I say, proggy. In hindsight, from Monolith and forward I feel that they just went AC/DC and said "this is it, this is our sound and we'll do it over and over again" and I'm quite frankly bored now.
You should do album tier lists for Aborted and Behemoth.
We have been doing tier lists for bands with new albums.
Cattle decapitation rules,
Id add cephalic carnage and brutal truth top 3 grind, most times
Yes!!!
Did you guys see the music video for A Photic Doom? Pretty creepy. 😨😆 Think I'm gonna' have Terrasite and Death Atlas on for a while, boys.
I know people like to crap on them (and TBH, some of it IS deserved), but I'm also genuinely enjoying the new song from Asking Alexandria.
Yeah it’s awesome!
I listened to the entire discography tonight and I couldn't agree more with To Serve Man. Those drums were a constant irritation throughout.
It's HORRIFIC. They should remix that one.
Great video guys! The Harvest Floor is as far back as I prefer to revisit. The earlier albums are fine but don't do much for me.
My rankings are as follows:
1. Monolith
2. Anthropocene
3. Death Atlas
4. Terrasite
5. Harvest Floor
...... everything else.
Cheers!
For me The Anthropocene is their S-tier, and Monolith and Terrasite coming close second.
We are into that!!
Terrasite is great but Death Atlas definitely holds the crown. The album was almost too good, and really hard to beat.
It's kind of scary if Travis lyrics prove to be so prophetic. For now they sound to me extremely misanthropic, but hell, I don't want to be part of the world described in his records.
Bring back the plague hits way different now lol
Damn good album. Loved the last two songs on the album the most. I wouldn't call the album amazing but it's damn good. Personally I'd give it an 8.5/10. I wholeheartedly agree that this band has just gotten better and better as they age. Good video guys.
What do you think would have pushed it over the edge to be perfect for you?
@@forgemastermetal it may take more listens... I've listened to it once all the way through but on the first listen it kind of lost its way in the middle section. Loved the begining and the ending but it lost a bit in the middle. We'll see as what the future holds.
Terrasite is a masterpiece. You guys nailed it. 10/10

Regret and the grave didnt come out on Humanure.
S tier- Terrasite, Death Atlas
A tier- Anthropocene, Monolith, Harvest Floor
B Tier- To Serve Man, Karma
C Tier- Humanure
D Tier- Human Jerky, Homover
We made an oopsy. It happens.
I had never listened to Cattle Decapitation before and checked out Terrasite yesterday. Maybe it was because I was tired or just wasn't ready for Travis' weird "goblin" vocals but I left the album asking myself "why don't I like this?" Obviously the album is very good but I didn't leave it raving about it like other people are. Of course I will give it more spins to see if it clicks.
Musics subjective man - nothing wrong with not connecting with a band or sound.
Terrasite is a masterpiece. You guys nailed it. 10/10
The song regret and the grave is from harvest floor not from humanure. I love every album they have but I prefer a little more that gore grind disgusting shit from the EPS and older albums, is there anyone like me? Cause the majority prefer the new ones
Yeah, we messed that one up. Woops.
No Medium Rarities?!
Na.
Monolith, Anthro and the Harvist Floor not in S? Disappointment 💀
We only allow ourselves each to pick one S tier. Makes the conversation more interesting.
yeah most grindcore I just can't get into. Same with war metal.
For me it’d be something like:
S: Monolith of Inhumanity, The Anthropocene Extinction
A: Death Atlas, Terrasite
B: The Harvest Floor, Karma Bloody Karma
C: Humanure, To Serve Man
D: Homovore, Human Jerky
Also yes fucking please to your favorite metal albums ever video. I love that stuff.
Thanks for the share!!
Death atlas is basically perfection, I've listened to it front to back at least a dozen times over the last few days for preparation of terasite, bout to throw it on... Can't wait
Edit.. I don't think it tops death atlas, having said that it's top 3 after 3 listens, just not enough memorable goblin voice sections😂, and death atlas is so crushingly dark and catchy, it hits me right in those feels
Album of the year contender❤
Anthropocene > Monolith
mengel
For me Monolith cannot be topped, Travis uses the "cleans" more sporadically and Kingdom of Tyrants might just be my favorite song of all time, Death Atlas is way too melodic/black metal for me, it's still good but weaker than Monolith, TAE and even Harvest. Terrasite, however is currently just behind Monolith.
Nah Anthropocene & Monolith are S tier.
Good for you
@@forgemastermetalIt is good for me because Travis spawned a whole wave of elite deathcore.
Neato
In my opinion this band basically sucked for years and then became fantastic. This is metals version of Robert Johnsons crossroads
Haha I think you'll find that our ranking reflects your sentiments.
Death Atlas was one hell of a tectonic shift. I find myself going back to that masterpiece constantly.
Side note, is there a chance that we'll see a Napalm Death ranking in the future?
We aren't doing any tier rankings for bands that don't have a new album out. Sorry!
@@forgemastermetal No worries, thanks for replying!
Terrasite is fucking Killer!! AOTY Contender!!
My favorite is Death Atlas!!
One of the best Albums of all time!!
💀🤘💀🤘💀🤘
Overall great ranking!!
Thanks for tuning in, Forge mate!
I disagree regarding grindcore
