Those Rotted fellas sure know how to groove.  I'm into it, but I'm a sucker for early Gut and Dead from their split with Regurgitate.   Rotted isn't like either of those, but groove is groove.  It is also why early Swedish death metal is so powerful.

Fuck P2loggia sent me this free 7" by Thætas with my Unborn Salivate LP order - from 2016 - holy shit this fuckin' SLAPS. Discogs says it plays at 33 but that's obviously false (even though it sounds fuckin' SICK at 33 - 45 is a little weirder and more dissonant. This is GREAT!!

I know Gatecreeper get a lot of shit but this new record is pretty friggin' good.

I also ordered Decomposed "The Funeral Obsession" 12" and the new Undergang 12". I am such a sucker for that Paradise Lost type shit and those Danes can do no wrong in my eyes.

Typing out "death metal" today in the search made me laugh.

I've been anxiously checking the Rotted bandcamp page for new releases.  They dropped a 3-way split the other day, and it made me aware of a similar band that I'm liking quite a bit, Unnatural.  The vocals...eh, but the groovy riffs got me.  The track on the 3-way isn't as good as this demo, though.

Isn't there a Carcass demo or rehearsal with no vocals? Or is that Master?   EM doesn't show anything, and I'm not having much luck with other searches.  I believe it was a Symphonies rehearsal, but this hazy memory comes from back when rehearsals and live dubbing were everywhere.

I have a boot CD somewhere with tons of demo/rehearsal tracks on. Not sure if any of it is actually instrumental, but I do remember wondering when the vocals would kick in during the rehearsal tracks. The vocals are probably there, but lost in the noise from the instruments.

Thanks.  The dubs floating around weren't high quality.  I think mine was labeled as instrumental (I don't remember hearing any distinguishable vocals either), but the trader had a beat stereo and unique way of listening.

I can't help you there. I love that icepick high treble solo in everything. I can't live without a little of that motherfucking wail. Make it sloppy or technical, I'm a fan.... the Impetigo solo for "Mortado" off the Faceless EP is the epitome of a sick solo that just grinds my fucking chuff.....

That Fetid LP does rip so hard.

The recent Caustic Wound record is a banger

The Kommand record is also cool (has a minor screech though)

We don't have a thrash thread, so I'm going to use this one.  After watching Sodom Lords of Depravity (1), Thrash Altenessen (socioeconomic look at Kreator and their area), Combat Tour 1985 & 1988, and Cannibal Corpse Centuries of Torment (just the first 45m or so); I went from an early Rapoon cave system to a deep thrash revisit.  I've listened to early catalogs from Kreator, Sodom, Destruction, Possessed, Forbidden, Dark Angel, Death, Death Angel, Slayer, and Nuclear Assault.

I almost can't listen to a Kreator album without Ventor on some of the vocal duties.  Mille grates on me, and I need that twist.  Terrible Certainty is the end of the line.

Tom Sodom is clearly not an easy boss.  I can't believe how many musicians he's rolled over.  I learned I like some of the latter Sodom albums more than I expected, and I didn't realize they had done a punk album of sorts.  The first recording of Obsessed by Cruelty is still my preference by a long shot.  What a beautiful mess.

I still cannot get into Death Angel.

I was always a Kreator and Sodom baby.  I never bought a Destruction album.  The reasons are boring, so I won't go into that.  I consider them new.  I think I prefer the first two albums over the first two mini-albums, but I thoroughly enjoyed it all.  Next time I need a Cronos fix, I know where I'm going.

Possessed.  On repeat for days now.  Are there similarities between Mike Sus (Possessed) and Penny Rimbaud (Crass)?  Or am I just getting confused by the heavy snare dependence? I don't think Possessed when I listen to Crass, but I do sometimes wander to Crass when I listen to Possessed.

Forbidden.  I have always preferred Twisted into Form over Evil.  The cover art, the catchy and well-written songs, and great vocal performance make this a thrash standout.  If I hadn't listened to Possessed and Destruction so much, I'd have played this one more.

Dark Angel impresses me more now than it ever has.  But do thrash songs really need to be 6-8 minutes long?  That's where they lose me a little on Leave Scars.  I still like it, but I find myself wishing they'd edited a bit.  Darkness Descends is a better album anyway, but those efficient 3-minute punches are a real virtue.

Death.  Spiritual Healing.  Fin.  (not really, because I like it all, but I'd be fine with just this album)

Slayer.  I only listened to the first three releases, but then I ran into the Raining Blood/Black Magic video.  It's amazing how watching those songs in action can take them to another level.  Is that even possible?

I don't think I like Cannibal Corpse.  I'd only ever heard the Hammer ? EP.  Got that for the covers.

Nuclear Assault.  There are some HEAVY RIFFS on Survive, but Handle with Care is better put together along with some HEAVY RIFFS. Survive hasn't aged as well either. I think I would have gone with Survive in the past, but not now.  It's still all about Game Over and The Plague, but...

I think I mentioned this elsewhere, but in case I didn't.  Lappuss - "Content To Lick" Demo 1992, a thrash metal band from Williamsport, PA. "Content To Lick" was their only offering, released on cassette by Hellpit Productions in 1992.  It's good. Noisecore-stupid sensibilities on the low end and thrashy crossover on the high end, sort of like Lethal Aggression with more thrash.
