Bloodbath - Survival Of The Sickest

I'm kind of looking forward to this release, I just hope it isn't going to sound too generic. That's a lovely album cover though

Not gonna lie the title is kinda hilarious

I have to agree

Hoping for something better than the previous but it being Bloodbath I expect it to at least be worth listening to.

Carved sequel to Eaten?

The hype has ended and it just released. yes, it started strong. I hope it lasts. I will edit this with my thoughts after a lot of spins. i would like to enjoy a good oldsdm a lot right now.

Nice and solid death metal. Just the way I like my Bloodbath. Definitely better than the previous but I’d still consider GMF as the best album in the Ol’ Nick era.

It's not a bad record but I expected more tbh. The sound remains brutal and aggressive and it has cool sick lyrics, however it doesn't excite me, I actually find it rather bland at times. It's not their worst release but it's far from the level of Nightmares Made Flesh imo.

This sounds like every release with Nick (well the last one was bad). Starting to spin it now with absolute zero hype. Miss the Akerfeldt/Tagtgren days

While the last two albums are enjoyable, they're a departure from Bloodbath doing whatever they want...at least it feels that way. This is the closest they've sounded to OSDM in a long time and it stripped them of all that made then unique. Anyhow, that's my first impression...maybe it'll grow on me.

As with the two previous albums with Nick, this is mediocre and uninspired. I suppose he carried with him the dullness of Paradise Lost to the once-energetic Bloodbath.

GMF is really good for me, but after this borefest I won't expect much from them any longer.

I really really liked it. Songs like Putrefying Corpse, Carved, No Gods before me are hella catchy. Nick's voice really suits death metal, especially osdm like this, imo.
