[Deadpriest]

Since there doesn't appear to be a dedicated grindcore thread, the Dead material from the Dead/Regurgitate CD is great.  Heavy.  Grooving.  I seem to remember the album that followed was nowhere near as good as these tracks.  Gut touched on a similar heavy pocket, but again, it wasn't anywhere close to this stuff.

Shit yeah!!

Carnivorous Erection is a total return to form.

Impetigo are a much surer bet.

Are there any substantial, quality interviews or articles on the time up to, and during the making of, Killing Technology? I'd love to know what they were thinking and reading and hearing etc.

I didn't grab that Away book fast enough but I bet there's some insightful stuff. I'm in Montreal now and saw a copy for $70 but I blew all my holiday savings on records :-(

[Bleak Existence]

my taste in metal is near the same as Peterson listed but i do not listen to metal hc oi etc as much now growing up it was every single day

[Euro Trash Bazooka]

Immortal -Battles In The North
Absu - Tara
Sarcofago - INRI
Enslaved - Frost
Morbid Angel - Thy Kingdom Come + Gateways To Annihilation

These have been classics for me since my teenagehood/pre Internet times and before people got brainwashed by Yosuke and Hendrik Möbius on the NWN board, on which people forget they once listened to "Powerslave" or "Ride The Lightning", the times when Cradle Of Filth were the shit and everyone wore their tshirts, and when people actually bought zines and magazines that weren't advertised online to make their own personal tastes (then they'd realise that bands like Intolitarian or Goatpenis are useless boring crap.)

Favourite brutal death metal bands:

Origin
Guttural Slug
Diphenylchloroarsine
Gelgamesh
Kraanium
Vulvodynia
Extermination Dismemberment
Abominable Putridity
Maggot Colony


I don't know how I forgot to include any of these lovelies in my first list but a bunch of them would certainly fit into it.

well...Death - Spiritual Healing led me back down the Swedish death metal rabbit hole.  Kind of a perfect bit of metal music if you ask me (both Spiritual Healing and Shadows in the Deep, but for this, I'm talking Shadows).  A lot of grooves on that there album.

from 32:48 to 33:12

including the subtle use of the china cymbal. I like this guy's drumming a lot in general.

Which had me fiending for Skit System's 1st EP and 1st LP.  It's logical to go from early Swedish death metal to Skit System, but because I've had so little awareness of the death metal, it wasn't a listening sequence I ever made before this.  Nothing to make a deal about...if you were into the death metal all along, but for me, ignorance finally gave way to the circle.

I asked this elsewhere, and I'm going to ask it here:  Does any Scandinavian death metal band in the past 10-15 years get that heavy bass guitar production they got in the early 90s? The riffs are always mentioned, and rightly so, but the bass tones and gunboat drums are so key to why this stuff was extraordinarily heavy. With my limited knowledge, it seems like something flipped around 1993 or thereabouts.

The Miasmal demo is what you need !  Too bad they went to shit after the first full length or so (stopped checking them out anyway)

Wanted to briefly revive this topic to mention Hooded Menace. I know they were mentioned years back but what the hell. I was a big fan since 2011 when I saw them at MDF but sort of fell off following them after "Effigies of Evil" which didn't immediately blow me away. Finally listened to their 2015 album "Darkness Drips Forth" and was completely surprised by how good it was. A lot less of schlocky horror vibe and much more solemn and serious sounding. with only 4 tracks its all killer no filler. Then I found out that they recruited Harri Kuokkanen of Hail Conjurer for the vocals on the album that came out at the beginning of this year. So I'm still playing catch-up...

But for those who want some killer death/doom to see them through this unending heat, at least here on the East Coast of the US, I recommend Hooded Menace.
