the problem arose when people starting lumping both "brutal death metal and "slam" together - nowadays people hear a band describe as brutal death metal and automatic assumption is that they are a slam band

I'd heard slam used but not often - back then Suffocation and similar bands like Dying Fetus were always called "brutal death" more often, but it was usually determined by the ratio of guys that had shaved heads in the band and how many of them wore athletic wear in the promo photo....

if at least one guy in the promo shot had on shorts with combats boots, I always had high expectations

This might be better in the punk/hardcore thread.

For the past week, on the daily, I've been listening to Nausea - pre-masters for "Condemned To The System".  This is a strong grindcore album.  Did it get much notice when it was released?  The production is heavy and precise.  If you like your stuff raw, don't look here.  Feels like they spent some time on the tech side of this thing.  Love it.

from the blog from which it came:
The wavs here are the true pre-masters before final press (I'm assuming for the CD version only). There's a vaguely noticeable difference in dynamics, but it's so damn close to the final press that I'm essentially just uploading this for fun/completism.

I only buy vinyl, d00ds.

For those interested, the Malignant Altar demo pressed on Vinyl is now available:

Over the last 5-10 years there has been some really killer American death metal bands coming out.

Namely, my favourites would be Cerebral Rot, Mortuous, Mortiferum, Sulfuric Cautery, Necrot, Fetid, Disembowel (before that Mangled Corpse). The Headsplit Records roster is off the chart at the moment!

Some of these bands have come through here and put on a great live shows, loud and tight as fuck. I like the demos generally moreso than the polished albums for the raw quality but there also seems to be new-school bands like Blood Incantation that I guess have a bit more of a "progressive" or technical approach, at the same time hold none of the old-school or rotten qualities that the above bands have adopted.

After several attempts I can't get into them. Is this a good direction for the genre? Discuss.

Very excited I get to be the first one to say "we already have a catch all death metal thread still on the first page"

I noticed just after posting but could not delete, though this thread is specifically about the new death metal bands coming out of USA.

considering this forum is dedicated to experimental music, one death metal thread is probably all we need. I'm sure if you make the same post in the death metal thread people will respond. or check out the NWN! forum if you really want to get into it.

I merged the two death metal topics.

In past, there was discussions whether it would be good to open "misc music" section. I recall most thought it was not good idea. There are forums for other styles of music out there. And any forum with too much of "misc" sections and too wide scope tends to go to different direction than I'm hoping.

For other styles of music, that feel SOMEHOW related to noise underground, one topic is usually enough. If such topics are growing in numbers, I'll think about own section for them. At this point, the less scattered the forum is, better it seems.

I am glad everyone seems to be enjoying this Cerebral Rot/Fetid tour, they definetly put their time in up in Seattle.

Insane week for death metal in NM this week ... Obituary, Revocation, Blood Incantation, Immolation... Excited for Immolation, heard they are playing "Father You're Not a Father" this tour.

New Rattenfanger is brutal. Love the production.

catching that Immolation/Blood Incantation tour in late October - haven't seen Immolation since they toured with Cannibal Corpse in 2012/13, wasn't the biggest Blood Incantation fan until I saw them live recently on that Cannibal Corpse tour they did and I was blowing away, so I'm forward to seeing them again but this time in a smaller venue and not as the opening act

I don't like this new song, first (and so far only) Rattenfänger CD is great though.

Yes! The PNW scene from Portland to Victoria is really exciting and I'm sad to leave (currently driving from Seattle to Phoenix). Speaking of Headsplit, I've got a Hacksaw tape slated for release this fall. Cerebral Rot is my favorite DM release this year.
