Death Metal

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.

Easily one of my top five death metal releases, be it EP or full length album. Killer guitar tone, sick as hell growl before it became as deep as it is today, drums still performing like they're from a more extreme thrash outfit. Always a good reason to return to this, especially the stomper Infecting the Crypts - which is linked, but I still recommend the whole thing (imperfect production and all.)

My favorite death metal band by a mile, and this album is a big reason why.

I definitely like the new versions with better mixing overall, but sometimes just gotta roll the OG.
