Death Metal

Why? What is so important about vocals in death metal that means the music becomes pointless without them? There's so many generic growlers these days that add absolutely nothing to the music and seem to be only there because they feel they need to have vocals.

Corchado's vocals have been on the decline, with Farseeing featuring his worst performance yet so it makes sense to make an instrumental album rather than putting in a mediocre vocal performance just for the sake of it.

They also could have hired a new vocalist.
 
Getting another member of a band can often cause issues. It could be a long process trying to get someone who fits with the band and has the same musical vision. Probably not worth the hassle.

Besides, this might not even be a death metal release. His other band, Acerus, is straight up heavy metal so maybe that's the direction The Chasm will take.

Been meaning to hear that Epykrosis, saw they'll be playing Death Over Venice. Good fest, run by a good dude. What do they sound like? I really dig the art, looks bloated and rotting, exactly how I like it.
 
I'm a little miffed with the presentation. The art looks weird as a vinyl and on both versions it's zoomed and some is missing.

Glad to hear about Oksennus getting pressed on CD. I don't give a single dusty shit about downloads, but I'll buy the fuck out of a CD. That new album is some of the most interesting DM I've heard in quite a while as well, thanks for posting that!

Entrails is good. Don't own anything from them yet, but they do play some solid Swedeath.
 
I'm in an unprecedented death metal mood lately and I need recs. I'm not looking for atmospheric/weird stuff like Atheist/Septic Flesh/At the Gates/etc. which is what I normally like in DM, but crushingly heavy, evil death metal with no shortage of riffs to die for.

Examples of what I'm digging lately;
Death - Leprosy
Kronos - Colossal Titan Strife
Adramelech - Psychostasia

Feel free to recommend me obvious stuff too, I'm basically a neophyte when it comes to DM.
