This nomination has now been posted in the Hall of Judgement. We've already fixed up the War Metal tagging as it legitimately qualifies now anyway.

Andi, this release now legitimately qualifies for The Pit so I'm simply going to add it.

I've always loved "Mentally Murdered". It's one of my favourite Napalm Death releases.
I haven't revisited "Resurrection Absurd" since way back in the day but I'm generally inclined to agree with your assessment that it was enjoyable but inessential. Morgoth's next couple of releases were definitely stronger in my opinion.
This track sounds far closer to melodic black metal than it does to death metal & is very poorly executed in my opinion. I really struggle with it even though it seems to be the most popular track on the album with most fans. Am I trippin' here?
Melodic/blackened death metal from Mexico.
The Chasm - "Deathcult For Eternity: The Triumph" (1998)
Admittedly I didn't get to this underground cult classic until just over a decade after its release but I have to say that it was a disappointing experience at the time & it still is today. The musicianship on display is pretty dismal & the vocals can be laughable at times. Of course the sheer quantity of riffs crammed into each track is a part of the attraction for fans but I can't seem to get past the poor execution to be honest. Also, how in the hell does anyone not hear this record for what it really is i.e. a melodic black metal record? There's a bit of melodeath about a few of the songs but this is far more Dissection than it is Morbid Angel with a consistently strong focus on melody & atmosphere. Of course, my favourite song on the tracklisting is the LEAST popular one (i.e. "No Mercy (Our Time Is Near)") & the one that I have the most trouble with is the MOST popular (see "In Superior Torment...") but that's kinda par for the course with me these days. It really hasn't helped that all of the weakest material is lumped into the back end of the album either. I generally think The Chasm are overrated but records like "Procession to the Infraworld" (4/5) & "The Spell Of Retribution" (3.5/5) have more than enough quality to keep me interested. This one? Not so much.
3/5

We're very close to a result on this one guys so if you know the record & are eligible to vote but haven't done so as yet then I'd encourage you to do so.

The wife was out of the house this afternoon so I took the opportunity to smash the latest The Pit playlist out really loud while cleaning the house & playing with the kids. I really enjoyed it too just quietly. The classics at the start set the scene very nicely & as I progressed through the set I found myself jumpin' around to bands like Thrasherwolf, Vio-lence, Demoniac, Kreator, Eradicator, Cryptosis, Expander, Ektomorf & particularly the new one from Sadistic Ritual which I didn't know was out & was probably the find of the set for me personally.

This nomination has been posted in the Hall of Judgement. I agree with Andi's approach of adding Alternative Metal first before making a play to remove it from The Infinite/Progressive Metal so I've opted to go with that.
