[Cythraul]

That cover is awful.

You're damn right it is.

[cookiecutter]

another recommendation, which Leviathan record should I get?

The split with Xasthur

 

[Rumpole]

Cheers for the replies, would anyone recommend the demo compilation Hobbs' Satan's Crusade?

 

[skeptik]

Yes, but it's not really essential either.

 

[Rumpole]

Ok thanks, the comp was all I could see until today, but now I may get the s/t. Also, are Hallows Eve any good? Saw the History of Terror box set at a record store today.

 

[skeptik]

Tales Of Terror is a classic, and Death And Insanity is very good as well. Monument has some very good tracks, but is a bit hit and miss.

Thanks, I think I'll probably pick it up next week.

Though now, having said that, somebody else will probably get it before me!

[zim18]

can anyone suggest me some bands similar to candlemass & pentagram's anatolia? the vocals are just ... perfect!

 

[zengaja]

Can someone recommend me bands with singers similar to Rainer Landfermann on Bethlehem's "Dictius Te Necare"?
Also the female vocals in the song "The mistaken one part. II (Geography is just a symptom)" from Overmars are great.
So its should be some of this sick desperate screaming style.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Rainer's best ever work is in his band Pavor as bassist. His performance in Bethlehem always rules too, but his bass skills in Pavor are just immaculate.

But for people with similar vocals, try the band Deinonychus' early albums.

The most desparate, hideous female vocalist ever is Ozma from Thorr's Hammer. However, she has a new project with James Plotkin called Khlyst which deserves a look. ambient + free jazz + absolutely possessed vocals = awesome.

[Hell Awaits Us All]

neuraxis
into eternity
yattering

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Into Eternity?! Stop. Posting.

ZT, check out Vortex (Jpn), Illogicist, Gory Blister, and Symbyosis.

 

[skeptik]

Why is everybody obsessed with "technical/progressive death metal" these days?

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

what's wrong with Into eternity??

 

[LuminousAether]

Definitely Neuraxis, such an incredible band.

Since you mentioned Augury I'm going to have to throw out UneXpect. They are like Augury but infinitely better. I think Augury must have sat in on a few early UneXpect sessions, because the similarity in ideas is really uncanny.

Also check out:

Cephalic Carnage
Gorguts
Textures
Gojira

I like tech death because they usually have really fucked up rhythms and rhythm is easily the most important part of music to me.
