Auberon "Crossworld" (2001)
Melodic thrashy death metal in the vein of later At the Gates with a few uncommon twists and some fucking good songwriting. Umeå band so naturally me and Mike has heard of them, but just about noone else, despite this album being released on Black Mark Prod. Drummer does backing vocals on Lethal 7" and used to drum for us as well for, uh, 2 rehearsals. Studies same uni shitz as Mike too.
"Vanities Fall" MP3
Again noone ever discusses this band, so I suggest you start discussing them. Currently unsigned, but their latest demo fucken kicks ass as well.
