A new find for this week's #ThursDeath, another band I found via a flyer of a band I dig (I forget who) since both bands are playing together soon.
Chicago's VOIMATON play a great, chuggy mix of death doom that is infectious. It's tough to make a full length death metal album and make the whole thing damn great, but Voimaton definitely did with 2022's 'Profane Vestige'.
For this week's #ThursDeath, a one-song slab of death I can't stop listening to from Kentucky's CELL INTRUDER. They just released this "Rapid Detorsoing" demo in January and it RIPS. Psyched to see what else these guys do.
@Kitty@HailsandAles@wendigo@BlackenedGreen 'a typical Jake track' 😂 definitely. Also, any art like that, like, black and white in some kind of dank dungeon or something, yeah, I'm gonna probably be there 🔥
As always, apologies to those who don't like gross death metal (keep scrolling!) but for those who DO like gross death metal, I somehow missed this LP from GORUPTED (a one man band/project from France) last year. No idea how.
This might've made my favorite albums list from last year, had I heard it. It's THAT good of gross death metal.
For #ThursDeath this week, something special I somehow missed from 2023.
Canada's COPROLITH (what's in the water up there in Canada?) released this grody, crushing, disgusting self-titled demo last year. It starts with this wall of sound type riff and then it devolves into this midtempo riff, and goes back and forth.. THIS is the shit I LOVE. And then 6 tracks of this. 🤯
Rotted Life Records have some INCREDIBLE bands on their roster.
Yesterday I ran across this incredible Maryland based death metal label Rotted Life Records. Fans of chunky, gross worm-infested cavernous sewer metal like @HailsandAles, @wendigo and I are will definitely wanna give their stuff a listen.
They have a couple new ones coming out later this month, too. Almost everything I've heard from them so far is 🔥
@HailsandAles@wendigo that one is SICK - I wasn't even familiar with the label or any of these bands. Listening to the Noxis/Cavern Womb split right now (psyched for the new Cavern Womb EP this month) - next up is Coprolith, Disburial, and then Gosudar, ALL of which I fuckin LOVE the sound of so far
The album cover art on this one is kinda gross, but I wanted feature the new EP 'Ergotism' that was just released by Canada's LAST RETCH for this week's #ThursDeath. It's pretty great.
@mm78 hahaa yeah! Last Retch are wild. It's a good one, didn't listen to much metal yesterday other than this but had to try it out. Cool EP. A lot of fun 🤣
Y'all know I'm not big on black metal, but being that it's Monday and I keep coming back to this one, it's probably a good one for #BlackMetalMonday.
LUST HAG is a solo project of Eleanor Harper - it's one woman feral black metal from Montana and it's pretty cool. There's some great synths and dynamics and interesting lyrics, etc.
Black metal fans, this is probably worth checking out.
@HailsandAles@wendigo@Kitty@umrk@BlackenedGreen@vanessawynn it's GOOD. I don't know. Black metal that can keep my interest is RARE. The recording might be a little lo-fi (? Maybe this is good for black metal? I've heard much worse though) - I very much dig it and I still have it on right now haha
This week's #ThursDeath is one man OSDM project from Tennessee, CHUNKED. This is a SERIOUSLY good EP of as he calls it 'primitive, knuckle dragging' death metal. Great release I somehow missed last year.
@jake4480@HailsandAles Fortunately, I listened to this one the other day when you tipped me to it. It is very good, but I think I like the Obscurial more...
Malaysia's OBSCURIAL just put out their second full length yesterday, and WHAT an album this is. 'Heretic' might be my favorite metal LP of the year so far. Some REALLY wild, unique stuff on this one.
@jake4480 I swear a lot is pure musical and mental/emotional lottery, it all depends on so many things. Something might get accepted or rejected on mood, I'm aware there's things that don't gel with me and I can see it's decent stuff, it just doesn't fit at that moment.
#NowPlaying - a new discovery today, GRAVE INFESTATION from Vancouver. It's some pretty great and dynamic death metal. Digging the sound of this. This is their debut record from 2022.
I love a death metal band that has the sheer cojones to put a song that's over 8 minutes long as the first track of their demo and it's so good you can just ride the whole damn thing til the next track
@jake4480@HailsandAles yeah, if I'd played it first via my standard stereo options, I might not have imemdiately noticed. But I was sitting at a coffee shop so had the ole' ear buds. With ear buds, it's super evident as one seemed like it wasn't working... took it out, took of the ear piece, remounted it to the bud speaker, placed it back in... was still real low. Thus the discovery...
Played it later @ home on stereo and it pans out better.
@adron@HailsandAles ha! Yeah, totally - I'm actually playing it now 😂 in the middle - the third track always makes me look up from whatever I'm doing, it does all this cool shit.. the whole damn thing, all 4 tracks, I mean, this is the new opener for my semi-daily metal playlist.
I hadn't found any LPs I was upset I missed from 2023 until the other day. 2023's 'Vortex of Possessable Flesh' by ECTOPLASMORPHOSIS is NOT going to be for everyone. 🤣 It's some pretty wild brutal death metal. The drummer is a MACHINE. There's a spot in one song where the guitars & bass all do brief solo flourishes that pan around the speakers. WILD. Kinda diverse for brutal death.
DISMA are awesome. If you're into a doomy, cavernous metal sound that has a diverse mix of both super fast galloping beats AND doomy spots (a really killer OSDM feel - the RIFFS!) these guys are for you.
ALL Disma's stuff is great, but this is the one on Bandcamp- 'The Graveless Remains' EP from 2017.
