All things Death Metal.

You know what to do: spread gory rhapsodies, uncover hidden talents, share thoughts about the evolution of the genre.

Rules

Band - Song Title [Location, Year] [FFO: Band 1, Band 2, Band 3]

Example: Bolt Thrower - World Eater [England, 1989] [FFO: Benediction, Hail of Bullets, Memoriam]

FFO means “For Fans Of” and is not always needed, but can be very helpful in promoting lesser known bands.

Arsis - A Diamond for Disease [Virginia, USA 2005] [FFO: The Black Dahlia Murder, Inferi, At the Gates] (europe.pub)

13 minute epic deserving of its own EP. Beautifully intricate and pounding, relentless and never boring. Let's make a deal, a diamond for disease.

Another single track post, this one being my favorite of Ulcerate's third album. Love the parts where the vocals let the instruments just do the heavy lifting, especially right at the 3:46 mark to the breakdown soon after.

Old school death metal from Germany. Killer guitar sound, somehow sounds like a chainsaw and a grinder at the same time.

My top track from their latest album. Took me a while to get over their choice to add groove elements when their prodigious drummer passed (r.i.p) but I've come to appreciate their approach to songwriting - brutal and clean and very surgical.

These Danes started out under the name Nakkeknaekker in 2020 and have been touring Europe with growing popularity. Posted and linked is one of the better tracks from their anticipated debut, though all tracks are great, especially the opener.

My top fave track from Allegaeon's first album. Felt like these guys just came out of nowhere. Also love when new bands try new shit mixed in with thier typical genres, like the mid section to this song.

Norwegian blackened death metal dripping with tons of atmosphere. Shaarimoth dwell and thrive in deep obscurity. One of my recent favorites to crop up over the past decade.

Kalmah - Moon of My Nights (europe.pub)

Finnish melodic death metal favorite of mine. Kalmah have had a very consistent and underground career. Definitely underrated, they got a lot of flak for sounding too close to Children of Bodom. But after their 3rd album Kalmah really struck out in their own heavier style, with lower growls.

From the Dark Souls videogame series comes this story of Knight Artorias in Death/Doom Metal form, a nearly 12 minute epic.
