WTF are you listening to?

[MFJ]

I don't think RC was very active when this album came out. Any fans here? This is probably my favorite death metal album of all time, I fucking love this band. Its a really palatable mix of OSDM, "prog death metal", and Death worship. They really have a unique sound and somehow manage to spin that stuff into something very original. It seems like a "love them or hate them" scenario for most people. Granted, I'm not much of a scholar when it comes to TRUE DEATH METAL, and I generally dislike a lot of the "classic" USA bands like Cannibal Corpse, etc. It just doesn't hit the sweet spot for me like this does.

I quite enjoy horrendous, but that album has a bit too many weak spots compared to Idol, though. All the songwritting and melodies came together on Idol while they were a bit scarred on Anareta

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

This is really good

i never listened to this one much but i like ecdysis actually

"nepenthe" is a very good song

 

[Ellestin]

New Sangre de Muérdago is really strong, melancholic alt folk with great band dynamics

 

[SonOfNun]

Obliteration - Dying Age demo (1997) - Brutal Death Metal



I would have loved to hear where this band would have went on a full-length. I can only imagine the arousal had I heard this when I was obsessed with Blood Red Throne. Still slays.

Nice reco. Digging this.

DIRTY FUCKING DEATH MEAL

DIRTY FUCKING DEATH MEAL

saw this bunch live a while ago (has it been two years already?) and yeah they're intense. Certainly my favourite "new old" US death metal along with Blood Incantation.

Ogre - Dawn of the Protoman

I always forget how cool this band is

 

[Ellestin]

Anyone heard Xantam from California?



They got some excellent old school death metal groove going, a bit reminiscent of Blood Incantation, and about a third of the playing time on this EP is top-tier dungeon synth. Call it Ultima/D&D death metal. Digging that shit.

 

[Krilons Resa]

New Fuck the Facts RULES. CD ordered.

 

[SonOfNun]

This is a very solid Agalloch-influenced one-man project. I've been listening for a couple years and really enjoy it. Very melodic and atmospheric but still with some bite.

 

[NAD]

Can't believe I haven't listened to VIRUS at all this year. This song is my favoUrite dance number since that one White Zombie tune that says "go" and "hey" a lot. Check out that disco chorus!

 

[J.]

Dude. Hyporcrisy rules hard yet I rarely listen to them. Im ready for a new album

 

[J.]

I will re-listen to Vials of Wrath. Its been a good 3 or 4 years

 

[SonOfNun]

Hyporcrisy

Are they associated with Empeor?

DOOOO ITTTTT. The album I posted is my favorite, but the new one is quite good. I haven't kept up with the Agalloch influenced bands, but I've gotta figure this is one of the best. Just picked up both on colored vinyl for $12.50 each.
