ASPHYX POLL

My vote is for the s/t album. I left out God Cries and On the Wings of Inferno because...well...I don't like them. I tried to include as much shit as I could because people always say "why didn't you include such and such, you FUCK?"

Ranking:

1.s/t
2. The Rack
3. Last One on Earth
4. Crush the Cenotaph
5. Embrace the Death
6. Death...the Brutal Way
7. demos.

Wasn't there just an Asphyx poll a few months back? Anyway, Last One on Earth for me.

By an extremely small margin, Crush the Cenotaph.

Hard to tell, I'd say The Last One on Earth with The Rack not far behind. I think I should post a pic of my leather coat with the big leather patch on it sometime.

Last One on Earth and Crush The Cenotaph is the best material me thinks.

For the longest time I would laugh at the idea of anyone liking anything more than the first two LPs...for some reason though lately I cannot stop thinking the 3rd album is the real masterpiece...the production is so fucking razor sharp and heavy without losing any of that ol' beloved "stench of death," the composition and riffs are untouchably great, and the vocals just sound totally rabid and inhuman.

The Rack is a monster album; Definitely my favorite.

Embrace the death. Simply the obscure atmosphere, the mad growls of Theo, and having alot of killer leads unlike on the other albums + it was theyre most occult twisted lyrical album as well. Il take Theo over Drunen anyday. Not to say Drunen is bad, because he isnt. But I felt they took a more straight road with him in the Line up.

If one compares songs that appear on several albums, I tend to prefere the early versions. For instance the killer version of streams of ancient wisdom on Embrace the death, compared to the more streamlined on last one on earth.

WTF? Embrace the Death, of course!

I find the discrepancy between the support of The Rack in the poll and the lack of support for it in the actual thread amusing.
