I keep forgetting to ask.  Something new from Ignivomous coming?

Per NWN, a new album will be out soon.

I keep forgetting to ask.  Something new from Ignivomous coming?

Seven long years after the release of their sophomore album, Contragenesis, Ignivomous return with their third full-length album Hieroglossia. Released in conspiracy with NWN! Productions, Hieroglossia unveils eight tracks of organic, primal death metal — the kind the band has become synonymous with in its 13-year existence within the death metal underground.
Borne out of the members desire to see a resurgence of a heavier, more dissonant style of death metal, Ignivomous were among the first wave of bands to reignite interest in the genre in the first decade of this century. Hieroglossia preserves the core membership of the band present throughout its tenure — Sean Hinds (guitar), Chris Broadway (drums) and Jael Edwards (vocals) — and presents the recording debut of Lewis Fischer on guitar (Altars) and Chris Jordon (Inverloch, Eskhaton) on bass, both of whom have cemented the band's live assault for the previous few years in a campaign of high-profile shows in their native Australia. This lineup in its current form has secured and built upon the band's unrelentingly legacy, oozing raw, sinister death metal pushed a step further into the void, creating an album which synthesizes the bands influences with a definitive and individual vision. While projecting a murky and atmospheric take on the Death Metal template, Heiroglossia avoids sacrificing the primacy of the riff for reverb-drenched formlessness or song writing in favour of dissonance for its own sake.
Thematically, Heiroglossia continues Ignivomous' investigation into topics of Philosophical pessimism, influenced by the works of Thomas Ligotti and E.M. Cioran, and Gnostic concepts of the fallen and hostile nature of the material world, presented throughout with a literary sensibility which should be accustomed to those familiar with their previous output. Ignivomous are touring Europe during September 2019, playing multiple shows in Germany in addition to Poland, Denmark, The Netherlands, Belgium, and France. Pending the general issue of the album on Vinyl and CD via NWN, a strictly limited tour edition digipack version of the album will be available for purchase during the tour.

Ever since I heard their Addiction To Self Dismemberment on Appointment With Fear compilation I was hooked. I hunted down the demo (from 1990, the only thing they apparently ever released) a long time ago and even if the other songs are not as good as the one featured on the compilation it is still a solid release. Some faster parts but lots of slow goodness with an awesome drum sound.

if you like early Devourment - you'll like the new record

A newly discovered old band I happened to come across at a local record store. Really scratches that itch for early Deicide so few seem able to provide:

Also picked up a comp by Greek band Obsecration. Great dark death metal with a heavy dose of Greek BM atmosphere: https://youtu.be/G2RF_T7Hv30

the  Cerebral Rot  album is nasty

I really have a thing for Pissgrave. Something about the attack these guys have. Also the very minimalistic and rotten.com like albumcovers that would suggest cheap bedroomgrind, but when you hear those possessed evil riffs the simplicity seems just even more unsetteling, maybe more real. Like serial killers often do not look cool in real life, and so on. Also they are killer live. Even if it is completely different, i get sort of the same feeling like when listening to the two first Deicide albums as a teen, something unhinged and desperate in there that is not so often in death metal.
I may be too close to Oslo scene to say anything, but i think there is the trinity here of Diskord-Obliteration-Execration that really pushed each other forward.

Vorum with Current Mouth is also insane when coming to new death metal. Im not sure if Emptiness "Nothing but the whole" is death metal by definition, but it is something really desolate there. Second album sucked. Old Morbid Angel, Obituary and Deicide is rarely matched though.

Harald Mentor's old death metal band Incriminated now has the full 1999 demo up on youtube:

Nice and chunky riffs, with bursts of punk. There are even some melodic parts that sound like heavy metal, but somehow everything blends well with each other in a way that is not contrived- much like Ride for Revenge's nature.

I was REALLY into Morbid Dimensions when it came out, didn't even know they had a new album out in 2017 until I googled it. Typical of a band signing to a bigger label and just getting lost in the shuffle.

Yeah, i think they maybe got a bit lost inbetween there as their approach to music is total underground, also not the kind of guys who really wants to go on big tours and such. I think the Morbid Dimensions songs really works in a live setting also, as they are a great live band. Played with them about two years ago on a death metal/harsh noise crossover gig, not the typical Metal Blade package exactly.

Best stuff I've heard in awhile

DSOL turned me onto this a few pages back - hope it gets another press. So sickening.

I just got an email from SVART saying my XYSMA box shipped. So I've got 5 LPs of crucial gore to wade through. For me should be the reissue of the year.

DSOL

been listening to Vomit Forth non stop this weekend, they are doing the early 90's brutal death metal(not slam) sound to perfection
"I do not get bored of nude ladies nor good Japanese noise"

Euro Trash Bazooka

It always weirds me out when people talk about "slam" death, especially in relation to the 90's. I don't remember anyone calling Suffocation or bands like them like that back then. I'm not even old and it makes me feel like a grandpa.
