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.
