Death Metal

[HamburgerBoy]

So, death metal people, I just discovered today that Krisiun is not a Brazilian power metal band in the process of discovering Rebaelliun. On first impression, these guys along with Adorior (another band I never listened to until recently) all have a central thread in that they don't chug too much and go for more of a warm high-gain whirlwind approach to their brutality, combined with songwriting that is maybe a bit repetitive but tends to progress gradually over the course of a song. Often these acts seem to be described as "infernal" by online reviewers and whatnot. To me it's closer to the spirit of Darkness Descends than almost any thrash band was at that time and I'm really in the mood for this right now. So, who else sounds like this? Less blasting would be preferred but in this context I don't mind it too much. Danke.

cool, this board needs more krisiun fans, they're very unfairly maligned IMO. not really an area of expertise for me but i'd like more in that style too.

 

[CiG]

I've only heard Black Force Domain and I never went beyond it for whatever reason even though I'm sure it's far from being their best.

 

[no country for old wainds]

that one's good but i like CONQUERORS OF ARMAGEDDON best.

Krisiun is decent but not great. The great execution is my personal favorite of theirs but it gets old quickly

@HamburgerBoy : Krisiun, and actually Brazilian death metal as a whole, is one of my biggest inspirations and favorite styles of DM! Here's a few Brazilian bands that play in a similar vein:

Rebaelliun
Abhorrence
Mental Horror
Ophiolatry
Oorlogsgoden
Exterminate
Funeratus
Havok
Holder
Horned God
The Ordher
Laconist
Mortificy
Nephasth

I love this style as a whole, completely velocity-obsessed, fiery death metal. I delved very deep into this style a while back, so here's a few more bands from elsewhere as well:

Azarath
Beyond Mortal Dreams
Centurian (and by extension, Nox, from when they briefly changed names, and released one of the most furious albums of all time.)
Diabolic
Dies Irae
Gortal
Gurkkhas
Hellish God (a newer Italian band formed with the Brazilian style in mind)
Impiety (sounds like a hellish mix of Morbid Angel and Angelcorpse, close enough to where I think you would like it)
Light of Dark
Magnanimus (Chilean band, a little more OSDM-atmosphere, new album coming out soon)
Martyrium Christi (Comes from Czech, sounds like Brazil)
Mastabah
Ogotay
Orategod
Pyorrhoea
Ravager
Totten Korps
Uerberos

I did a little write up on this style on RYM a while back, you may enjoy it. There's a few bands that stray a little more towards the Hate Eternal end of the Hyperspeed-yet-not-BDM-Death Metal spectrum, as well as little write ups about most of them. Cheers man.

[CiG]

This is insane.

 

[The Ozzman]

I bet that's gimmicky as fuck

 

[CiG]

The drumming disintegrated my entire ballsack.

 

[morguelord]

Good guys, not gimmicky at all actually. It's Idir from Devast's new band. Signed to Pathologically Explicit Records, I believe, I've seen a few friends on FB getting the promo in the mail the past few days.

 

[morguelord]

Just got the new albums from Tomb Mold and Contaminated in the mail today, talk about some filthy, rotting death fucking metal. I've grown tired lately of all these OSDM resurrection bands that put more emphasis on atmosphere than anything; bands that think a super thin production and overly reverbed vocals are a key ingredient, bands that are basically the death metal form of elevator music because it's borderline ambient background noise, no actual riffs or song development, that wear robes and call every live show they play a "ritual"; sick of that crap. Don't even call that shit "old school death metal", bands never did any of that garbage 20-30 years ago. So it's good to have some serious riffage and death metal that actually sounds like the 90s again.

Also, though perhaps a bit more on the brutal side, I got the Torture Krypt compilation along with a couple shirts directly from Bryan, the drummer, for super cheap.

Has anyone heard the new teaser for Malevolent Creation yet? Sounds sick, but not at all like the same band. Phil is the only one left, I believe, got some new members, including a maniacal sounding vocalist. Honestly sounds more like early Hate Eternal than MC, and as a huge HE fan, I'm alright with that.

 

[The Ozzman]

Yeah the new MC is gonna rule. Bret Hoffman was amazing on the first 3 albums but he got predictable after that.

Didn't see this reply until now, thanks brah, will start working my way through it.

Back in my Godflesh worship, I discovered these guys and gained a great admiration for it. Like if Meethook Seed and Ministry had a fuck baby.

Here's some shit I've been digging lately, and some shit I've found around the internet. Megapost ahead, should be something for everyone. By all that, I mean, I'm super bored at work and want to share some death metal

Biolich. Started out as total Demilich worship, featuring Will Smith of Artificial Brain and now Afterbirth. Demos are impossible to find, only ever pressed on tape. I even asked Will about the band possibly doing a demo comp on CD eventually, but he said it's unlikely. The EP, which is easy to get, is a bit more odd...sounds like weird post-hardcore or something combined with that pseudo-Demilich sound. Sounds dumb, but it's actually pretty cool and unique. Actually bought a Biolich shirt from Blue of Dysentery at Louisville Deathfest a couple months back, where I also met Will, so that was pretty cool, got a picture with him and the shirt hahaha. Here's their first demo:



Conscious Rot, Lithuanian DM from '94. Got the recent demo comp on CD.



Convergence from Within, underrated Morbid Angel/Immolation type stuff from the early 2000s.



Crusher, French full length from '92. The other Crusher, the Czech one, is decent as well.



Demigore, early 90s Florida demo



Agony, from Canada.



Ravager was a super sick Mexican band, but before that, they were called Domain and they did a split with Demonized, which was basically a sideproject of theirs. This is off that split.



Jeff Loomis was briefly in a death metal band called Experiment Fear before Nevermore. Wasn't on this full length, but trivia is cool.



Eciton, Jesper of Iniquity on drums.



Doom Formation was supposed to have released a full length called Tartarean Ensorcellment in 1995, but the label fucked 'em. Here's a track from it.



Eviscerate was a sick New Zealand band 20-some-odd years ago, only ever did demos.



The new Contaminated album is raw, meaty death metal in the vein of Rottrevore and Morpheus Descends.



Feticide is another Danish band, just got their demo comp recently as well.



I can never get enough of this album. It's basically the lost Hate Eternal album, but I like it more than anything HE ever did, and I like Hate Eternal a LOT.



Injury to Eye was a short-lived Australian band that did one demo. Very unique sickness! Also, you may be wondering why a lot of these are Australian/New Zealander...Christoph from Contaminated did an interview about some his his favorite underrated releases, so I got most of them from him. Great recs.



Molested Entrails played some seriously raw, grimy DM on this '94 demo.



Last one is this incredibly sick demo from Rancid Christ.



OK I'm done for now. Hope someone enjoys this garbage as much as I did.

 

[CiG]

Really enjoying that Biolich.

Found this demo years ago. I could only find 2 songs by these guys.
