Rings of Saturn - Godless Times (USA-CA, 2014)...

Benighted - Ekbom (France) (brutal tech)...

Job For A Cowboy - What We Once Called Home (USA-AZ, 2004)...

Teramaze - Flight of the Wounded (AUS-VC, 2022)...

I remember Slipknot as being the radio-friendly stand-in for hardcore, with MTV-ish radio hits like Duality. But damn, I forgot how HARD they went on the first couple albums. This is a great example of why plenty of death metal fans in my age range cite them as a gateway drug.

Amon Amarth - Gods of War Arise (Sweden, 2006)...

Bonerama - Mr. Go (USA-LA, 2007)

Dream Evil - The Book of Heavy Metal (Sweden, 2004)...

Gatekeeper - The Nihilist (USA-AL, 2017)

Boucle Infinie - Escape (Germany, 2022)...

I don’t know about you all, but I am absolutely drunk on quality 2023 metal releases (or maybe that’s the whiskey). I’ll be doing a poll after nominations are in. I’ve already made my own personal rankings, and there were so many solid albums, I’ve written 4 lists: Big Bands (>2000 listeners on Spotify), Secret Killers...

Shadows Fall - The Light That Blinds (USA-MA, 2004)...

Solipsist’s entire album The Human Equation is beautiful, but this one off of The Burning Mass just grabs me with the riff at 1:03

My favorite method is from other listeners gushing about their favorites, which is why I created this community. Outside of that, my go-tos are:...

Noisuf-X - Nervous Beatz (For Manic Freakz)...

A Wake In Providence - The Impure (USA-NY, 2019)...

Graviton - God Eater (AUS/USA, 2023)...

Last Ten Seconds of Life - The Ballad of the Butcher (USA-PA, 2015)...

Ok go! I’ll start - I’m not saying these are all amazing bands or even all tech death, but the names are top-notch:...

Brutalism - Solace in Absurdity (USA-ID)...

Thy Art Is Murder - The Purest Strain of Hate (AUS-NSW, 2012)...
