7) Wormed - Omegon
Cosmic death metal album #2. Wormed are actually one of the OG cosmic death metal examples. And they happen to be one of the extreme metal bands that firmed up my passions when I was still young and malleable. I remember spinning them at the same time as Myrkskog, Zyklon, and Cryptopsy trying to decide which was most extreme. And, after 8 years of silence Wormed comes back with this, a polished, modern-sounding, expertly produced, punishingly brutal, cosmic death metal record.
Do I wish they produced more? Yep. I also admire the damn miracle it is to come off of a near decade hiatus with this caliber of record. I'm not the only one singing praises. Lots of lists I poked through mentioned this and for me, it was between this and Defeated Sanity, which was also on a lot of lists. But, because I am who I am, the nerdy sci-fi shit was enough to edge out that record. (Not to mention Defeated Sanity leaned way too far into the comically bad snare drum sound so commonly featured in brutal death metal, (you didn't hear it from me)).
