They took all the best parts of Necros Christos, sped it up, and eliminated all the extra interludes. I'm a huge fan of this band and am looking forward to their next release (whenever that is).
I like that their Bandcamp page advertises "BECERUS have absolutely NO LYRICS!" This is really some caveman death metal.
You missed a letter in the band name. It's Allegaeon.
New Organon is pretty good. They've never released a bad album, but the trio of Twilight of the Idols, Down Among the Deadmen, and Traveller is peak The Lord Weird Slough Feg for me. I think after that, they started to lean a little more into hard rock and Thin Lizzy than I prefer.
The Lord Weird Slough Feg has quite a few top tier albums, but Traveller is my personal favorite.
I love the King Diamond influence on this album. I still think Ossuarium Silhouettes Unhallowed is their best, but sometimes I want a little more traditional heavy metal in my death/doom.
I like how each Outre-Tombe album feels like it pulls a little more influence from different bands without sounding like a carbon copy. Répurgation sounds like Pestilence, Nécrovortex sounds like Entombed, and Abysse mortifère sounds like Autopsy.

Phobophilic deserve so much credit. Enveloping Absurdity is one of my favorite albums from last year and they have been touring constantly to support it. Saw them live twice in the past year. They always put on a good show even though they have been getting stuck with the opening slot.
Such a good album. Phil Tougas's leads really take this album to another level.
I've been listening to a lot of Chilean death metal lately. Been listening to Putrid Yell, Rotten Tomb, Suppression, Inanna, and Unaussprechlichen Kulten.
