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.
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 🔥
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.
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.
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.
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.
#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
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.
Coffin Torture are fantastic. I just listened to both of their albums again. It's this doomy, psychedelic riffy mix and this sound is NOT something that just any band can pull off well. I think someone here recommended them? I totally forget. Whoever you were, thank you, and if you see this, let me know!
Here's Coffin Torture's 2022 album 'Blennoid'. It is SUCH a banger. Hope we get a new one soon. 🔥
