Earlier this week I ran across a KILLER death metal album from 1993. For this week's #ThursDeath, the fucking MASTERPIECE of a record 'Circle of Evolution' by SCHISMATIC from Poland. Maybe some of you guys know this one already (@djrobotham)?
This is a GREAT no-frills death metal record -- my favorite kind. No samples, no intro. Just riffage, chugging, growls, perfection. Some wild funk bass later on in the tracks. Don't miss this one if you haven't heard it.
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
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...
Strangely, I owned no death metal on vinyl until last night. I ordered the Degraved EP from last year, Whispered Morbidity. It's one of my favorite metal releases ever (and now there's only 1 left, you can grab the last one here - https://degraved.bandcamp.com/album/whispered-morbidity)
It should arrive by the end of the month. It's this beautiful blue/teal kind of vinyl. This is the stock photo from the site. 😍 Will get photos when it arrives of the whole deal, cover, etc.
Call it another late #ThursDeath for this week or an early one for next week, but this EP that DYSMORPHIA put out last year is RIDICULOUS and I have it #NowPlaying
It's Thursday, so you know what that means. #ThursDeath.
SEPTAGE is from Copenhagen, Denmark and they have a pretty cool, grody sound. Their new record 'Septic Worship (Intolerant Spree of Infesting Forms)' comes out tomorrow.
It's messy and weird, but to me, it's also instantly likable. Kinda OSDM, kinda other kinds of metal maybe. Check the first released title track and grab the rest tomorrow!
#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.
This week's #ThursDeath is a crusher. Australia's CARCINOID put out their first full length in 2019 (also recommended), but their EP 'Encomium to Extinction' is their newest from November 2023, and it's 5 more solid, GREAT tracks of death. 🔥
@Kitty haha heck yeah! I try to mention the best stuff I find, and yeah, it's gonna be all death from me. I don't do the black or thrash really, unless it's rare cases, or a mix like Skeletonwitch. 😂
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.
