I can't understand how words.. can be so acceptable..Plastic production by the ''master'' Neil Kernon(he has ruined so many albums) and drums sound so fake.It's so progressive that it's disturbing, and losing it's aggression.And the evil essence of black/death which was adopted perfectly in their first two albums.
''Rape of the bastard Nazarene'' fuckin rule.And Choronzon aswell.This is dark and satanic black/death metal.

Finally a good point! Only the first two albums were great, absolutely flawless. The third could be good as well but I could never stand this gay singing. And every following release was worse and worse with that "professional", modern sound. All the aggression of the riffs was ruined by plastic drums (drums??) and gay vocals.

Man, what the fuck? No love for Antichrist. The latter three albums are nearly flawless, though Choronzon has some same-y tracks. Goat of Mendes is by far their worst...most songs lasting longer than they're worth. Debut is wonderful.

Is it me or did anyone else find the production on Antichrist to be annoying?

Ive only got ' goat... ' and to be honest havent listened to it in years. Thought it was kinda boring at the time, read about them in terrorizer and was greatly underwhelmed upon purchase. The vocals were awesome though.

The Goat of Mendes is truly awesome. I think i'm going to spin it right now. Cool

I like all the albums except The Antichrist. To my ears, they start to sound like Opeth on that record. No Thanks!

was good up until they fired scalan, and as theobalds told me once before "it was the equvilant of taking a wheel off a formula one car and replacing it with one from a wooden cart"
Several members are in a band called voices which are fairly good members are also in the antichrist imperium.

i'm still trying to figure out how to like this band. the first exposure i had to them was a music video with some crappy striptease girl and them looking like fucking dorks in suits. that image stays in my head when i hear them, but i'm still holding them in the possibly good category. i definitely don't want any of the albums with fucky drums like i've seen mentioned here.
