Death Metal

Are there any particularly standout albums where Melodic/Prog/Tech Death converge? I'm thinking of a sound in the vein of Witherscape, Beyond Creation, Alkaloid, Obscura, Shylmagoghnar, and Be'lakor. I'd prefer harsh vocals, solid production and melodies neither veering too hard in the tech death direction (Obscura & Alkaloid are pushing my limits there) but a little more in-your-face and less "proggy" than say Opeth/Gojira/Ne Obliscaris.

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure yo already know that a bunch of those bands you mentioned have new albums this year. Augury has anew album out this year too but i still havent got to it.

new Gorod maybe...

Nice. Looking forward to hearing what Gorod have got up their sleeve this time. Wasn't the biggest fan of A Maze of Recycled Creeds.

The new Unleashed album is pretty fucking good and surprisingly crushing and heavy.

And it only gets weirder and funnier the more it's shared

[Slammed]

Any recommendations for bands that sound like Immolation 1996 to 2002? Would appreciate it.

I realized when making my 2018 top list that it's way more loaded with death metal than normal since I'm normally not the biggest fan. Listening to the new Sulphur Aeon right now and it's solid if a bit derivative of their last record. Beyond Creation(yum), Alkaloid, Obscura, Ascension, and Ataraxy were all pretty great.

Gorod was a big letdown though, at least compared to Maze & Transcendence. I also don't get the hype behind The Rivers of Nihil. It was a good album that perhaps had wide appeal, but IMO doesn't really knock anything out of the park.

@Draehl

new Gorod is opening up to me the more i listen to it. Didn't like it at fist either but now i'm digging it.

Obvious ones are Ignivomous - Death Transmutation and Ulcerate - Everything is Fire, but you are probably familiar with them.

 

[CiG]

Not familiar with Ulcerate, so thanks!

 

[Phylactery]

A year ago I would have said there's no chance Ulcerate would be something you'd enjoy, but you seem more receptive to the style of death metal they play these days so who knows!

 

[CiG]

Absolutely. Ironically it's less new territory for me and actually a return to my roots.

Uploader labelled it an EP but it's a demo. Canadian band who released this and split up, former members of Orchidectomy, Ataxia, Heaven Ablaze, Blood of Christ, Involuntary Convulsion etc. Brutal stuff.

 

[Phylactery]

This little demo is sick.
