Death – Leprosy – 9/10, obvious but excellent
Impetigo – Faceless – 5/10, good sound but not much else going for it, felt a little bored before the end
Magnus – Leprosy – 3/10 and that’s probably being generous, borders on incompetent Thrash Queen incompetence but not remotely funny, speed alone doesn’t get you that far
Polluted Inheritance – Dissolved – 4/10, unfortunate, the lurchy riffing around 0:50 is interesting and there are other good moments, but the bulk is cookie-cutter death/thrash
Dr. Shrinker – Fungus – 7/10, not as good as Phantasm but still great classic death metal, if this production bothers you, you’re a pussy
Necrosanct – Abhorence – 7/10, this is one of those albums I always assumed was kind of shit because 1) they’re from the UK 2) they have cool cover art and were on Black Mark, yet 3) no one talks about them, yet it’s actually really cool and nasty sounding stuff, the sad thing is that I’m pretty sure I had this same epiphany about this album just a couple years ago but forgot all about it, adding it to the RYM wishlist so I don’t forget this time
Carcass - Corporal Jigsore Quandary – 8/10, I heard the Madonna mash-up before ever hearing this song so now that’s what I expect whenever listen to this, lol, still, about as good as sterile, hook-based death metal gets
Infester - A Viscidy Slippery Secretion – 8/10, known of them since forever but never really got around to listening to them, awesome stuff here
Demolition Hammer - 44. Caliber Brain Surgery – 7/10, don’t really consider this to be one of their better songs but still pretty good, it’s the handful of really groovy moments + the amazing vocals that bring it up
Maimed - Maimed Excisions – 8/10, great ugly stuff
Autopsy - Charred Remains – 6/10, love the album but this song isn’t particularly special
Mass Psychosis – Goremachine – 7/10, silly, wanky, fun and heavy, could have been shit but I like it a lot
