Death Metal

[Master_Yoda77]

Actually I have always thought the drums are Portals weakest point. Its my one qualm with their music.

No way bro. The drums are what makes Portal.

^ Not even close dude. Skeletonwitch is fucking gay

This.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

meh ... Skeletonwitch was never liked around here anyway.

also, they're a thash band, so Goatwhore is obviously going to get more love in this thread.

... so fuck you guys.

 

[EffigyForgotten]

^ Not even close dude. Skeletonwitch is fucking gay in bed with TheNightsBane

Yes.

 

[NinjaSweater]

Skeletonwitch is fun and their albums are all catchy. I seen em with Cannibal Corpse. They put on a good live show.

 

[METAL GOD]

Seen Skeletonwitch @ 22nd Wacken Open Air 2011 and Brutal Assault Fest #16 in Czech Republic 2011, and again in Spokane, WA 2012. Good band live.

Samples from the new Hate album;





Sounds fucking solid.

 

[Avigrus]

New Sorcery

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Hate fucking sucks so much. I couldn't believe what I was listening to when I saw them.

You seem to hate everything except Pagan Altar though, so that doesn't count.

 

[Krow]

seriously though I remember the Hate album I listened to being pretty okay, I'll have to check those out.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

New Suffocation, not bad.

No, I just hate things that suck.

 

[Addo_Of_Nex]

Never listened to Hate's studio work, but their live show was one of the most painfully unremarkable things I've ever seen. Also, they can fuck themselves for using Dead Can Dance as their intro music.

Edit: Has there been a genuinely great death metal album released this year? I haven't been able to buy anything, so I haven't heard shit. I'm thinking new Ignivomous might be worth something down the road, but I haven't heard anything about a Graves of the Archangels-caliber album coming out.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

that Sorcery sample wasnt too bad. Not sure it's purchase material though.
Seems a little boring.

something about all Suffocation that pulls me in. Must be the riffs and the catchyness.

Also, Im still in love with the newest Nile.

I doubt it. I'm a big fan of Gorephilia's "Embodiment of Death" though.

 

[skeptik]

I think Graves of the Archangels is a bit of an excessive barometer for "genuinely great" death metal albums. Degial's Death's Striking Wings has proven rewarding on a short amount of listens, and while I'm still barely acquainted with it at this point, Weapon's Embers and Revelations sees the band continue to evolve. I also have Tzun Tzu's debut full-length, but I have not given it much time yet. I doubt it would reach the "genuinely great" plateau, but I imagine it's more than worth hearing. I need to listen to Ignivomous' more, but on the few listens that I gave it, I felt Death Transmutation was better. I like that album more than most though, it seems. Inverloch also deserves a mention for death/doom.

Try these.

My personal 2 favourites so far;

Resurgency - False Enlightenment
Obscure Infinity - Putrefying Illusions

Other quality releases;

Horrendous - The Chills
Gorephilia - Embodiment of Death
Ataraxy - Revelations of the Ethereal
Antropomorphia - Evangelivm Nekromantia
Binah - Hallucinating in Resurrecture
Decomposed - Decomposed
Maveth - Coils of the Black Earth

There are plenty more, but this is a good start.

Edit: Yeah, the Inverloch release was great death/doom - can't wait for a full length.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

after listening to the new Cryptopsy for the past two weeks, i can say it's definitely one of the best death metal albums of this year.

 

[Psychonaut]

I think Binah, Indesinence, and Resurgency are my three favs from this year at the moment.
