Death Metal List Progress report:

I have made it about a 1/3 of the way through the list and try to give each album about 2-3 listens and this is what i have so far.

  • Death - Leprosy - Loved it! 9/10
  • Entombed - Left Hand Path - Music was great, more diverse than standard death, vocals were challenging 8/10
  • Dismember - Like An Everflowing Stream - Awesome straight forward Death Metal. Definitely see that this would be a classic example 8.5/10
  • Pestilence - Spheres - Prog Time! More accessible Death/Prog than Athiest, I can see why purists wouldn’t like it…strings? keyboards?? I love how it is gets more and more prog as the album goes on, like it was trying to trick people but I really enjoyed it. 8/10
  • Morbid Angel - Alters of Madness - Bobby, dats the devil's music! 7.5/10
  • Cynic - Focus - Very prog, however it seems to be more prog than metal, did not care for the robot voice 6.5/10
  • Grave - Into the Grave - More straight forward Death Metal. Nice reset button after Cynic, Really starting to get used to the growling vocal style, almost...craving it. 8/10
I am loving the list overall and I appreciate the recommendations. It is becoming clear the different styles within the genre. The Death discography is a pretty great through line to show how the genre had progressed and its interesting to see how it was also kind of all going at the same time. Its bizarre to see all that over the course of 5-6 years. Oddly enough as much as I love Atheist and latter period Death I am finding myself more drawn to the more standard Death Metal offerings. We will see how it goes with the remainder of the list. Thanks again for all of the recommendations!

you make me so happy, child

Though not traditional, the new Lingua Ingnota album, CALIGULA, is fucking phenomenal and shares enough in common with black metal that I think some of you guys might dig it. They've still got a few of the clear as well as black up at Profound Lore. The other variants have been sold out for weeks...

This is different. 🤔
 
Did someone say Leprosy?

I already have this album so I totally don't need this. But I'm seriously considering it for the bust alone....

ETA - They've already sold 320 of these....
Thanks again for posting this. Super happy with how it turned out.

This sounds like Florence + The Machine on 16 megatons of meth.

It's fucking badass. I'm trying to give myself a (non-financial) reason not to buy this right now.
 
Car Bomb released the 2nd track off their new album and announced pre-orders today. Very keen for the full album.

Due to an AWESOME conversation today with @Goatfish @NoToneStraw & @Enaz Fox I went back and re-listened to Gorgoroth's debut album, Pentagram. I had forgotten how good it was! This caused me to go down a rabbit hole and listen to Gaahl-era Gorgoroth, because, why not. THAT then led me to listening to God Seed (the collab band between Gaahl and King ov Hell) which I hadn't listened to in a few years. All that to say its been a great day for metal.

Go listen to some God Seed, peeps.
