Lykathea Aflame - Elvenefris

You know what? Fuck it. I'm giving this masterpiece the ten it deserves. Cuz I gave it a listening after a long ass time and can't think fo a single moment I did not enjoy.

A MUST for fans of MUSIC.

I never listened to this hehe

It may not seem like an issue to some, but can we please have the name changed to Lykathea Aflame??!? It would make so much more sense to have it that way. Everyone who knows this band and album know it as Lykathea Aflame. Every other website has it that way, and this "Lykathé" group is clearly never going to release anything, seeing as they said they would in 2006 and 2009..

No.

...Just no.

I've heard this first around 2007, but it has grown on me immensely in the past few weeks. Lived up to the 10 I gave it a million years ago. Back then it just blew my mind, this time it charmed me and had grown this strange love in me towards it. Perfect record with a real character, I doubt anything in the genre will ever surpass it.

Holy shit I can't believe what I just listened to. It's hard to put into words what this album conveys. Some of the fastest most brutal death metal along with uplifting guitar and keyboard melodies and atmosphere plus a mix that makes it sound like nothing is forgotten or subdued. An incredible album that I don't think will ever be matched. Sheer perfection.

Walking In The Garden Of Ma'at is THE full circle closer.

When albums get eventual later editions like shifting into vinyl the first time, bonus tracks always kill the fucking sex mood and tension release and should stay as an addenum so they should be, not on the same album list, how the arts ending was designed to be over.

Another prime example as much as it was revered and supposed to be placed elsewhere is the Godflesh cover after the true ending to The Work Which Transforms God.

After all these years the drumming in this album still takes my breath away. I don't think there's anything that exists like this album

A fucking masterpiece! If someone knows more albums like this let me know

Try Cryptomnesia - https://tornfleshrecords.bandcamp.com/album/primordial-oddity

Underrated Instrumental Progressive/Technical Death Metal

A very consistent album with no weak songs. I would argue that it feels more like a single 73min song album as the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts (in the same way Dream Theater's Metropolis Pt. 2 or Nine Inch Nails' Downward Spiral is). Walking In The Garden Of Ma'at is a beautiful way to end a brutal and chaotic album.

This is truly a masterpiece. Listening to it for the first time ever. I'm completely blown away

Fleshkiller's Awaken is one of my favourite metal album with optimistic riffs and atmosphere so it is similar to Elvinfris in that regard, you might like

This might end up being my favorite DM album of all time, it is that damned good. I'm absolutely amazed

If Akercocke made a death metal album with Lars Urich as their drummer.

Now I want to believe he listened to this during St. Anger sessions. I like how that album goes against the grain and still gets more commotion than modern classics lmao.

It's an interesting take that was a matter of time before its gonna get pointed out. Feel good to be against the grain of followers. Whenever I do it here for sharing facts, people seethe, people cope hard, and stack up towers of likes upon the replies lmao.

Dang what a shame. I don't even hate the grunting vocals like I normally would, but that snare/some of the drumming is a little overkill. It truly is like a mix of Flo Mounier and Lars Ulrich.


Still a fantastic album though. I think it progressively gets stronger.

Oh yea btw new album IS in the making, has been for decades but Tom Corn couldn't find time to make drums for it and officially just stepped away from it completely so the new album will most probably be with a different drummer. Reportedly, it will probably sound very different to Elvenefris though. From what I was able to find, the singer got very deep into conspiracies, anti-5G etc. stuff so I wonder whether that might have any influence.

This holds up as one of my favorite death metal albums of all time. So many creative songwriting choices, and not a lot of death metal bands incorporate major-key riffing in their music. Still a refreshing listen even though it's 25 years old.

New remastered versión for the 25th anniversary

Finally a legal way to download this fucker:
