Coffin Creep - Corpse Defiler, Sweden 2017
 
Bloodstrike - In Death We Rot, Denver CO 2015
 
Black Rituals for the Infernal Goat. From Ecuador. Good cover, looks like a Moyen. Simple and unassuming is the goal. We don't want Psycroptic or anything. I'll have to make a point to get to this one later.

Humiliation - No Escape, Malaysian death 2017. The 8th of 14 full lengths. Formed in 2009 they've released an album every single year from 2010 up through 2023. Who knew you could make a whole career out of Bolt Thrower worship?
 
Humiliation - Dawn of Warfare, 2010, the first one really is an homage to BT. And I don't mind at all.
 
Of course you were.

Sinister - The Post-Apocalyptic Servant, Netherlands 2014. First time exploring their later post-2000 stuff. I've generally pretty much stuck with the first 3 ('92 - '95) but from the sounds of this one maybe I should have checked this later stuff out a long time ago.
 
Skelethal - Of the Depths.... ripping French death metal of the un-progressive variety, 2017. I have this one, but I think I need to spin it more often.
 
Skelethal - Unveiling the Threshold, 2020, the second of only two full lengths.
 

I was thinking a syphilitic vagina...
So Japan it is today
One of my all time fave live bands - Melt Banana (Live at Obscene Extreme 2016)
Sabbat - Live at Nagoya Park
One of my all time favorite videos is Sabbat playing live in a park somewhere in Japan with a bunch of rando normies wandering through. Can't imagine what was going through their minds seeing the fucking Sabbat anarchy. Right up there with 16 yo Beherit playing in a mall in Finland.

G.I.S.M. - Detestation
 "....and if ya don't know...now ya know..... "

....just a slight correction there, WhiteNoise.....NAPALM DEATH actually started out as a punk/hardcore band and recorded several demos and the first version of F.E.T.O., before slowly making the change to an anarcho influenced grindcore band....they are a pivotal band in extreme music(...as much so as THE SEX PISTOLS, MOTORHEAD, CELTIC FROST and G.I.S.M.) in the rest of the world outside of the U.S.A........
 
...and yes that Live Corruption video is one of my favourites....

Alrighty then. I dismissed Hate Eternal years ago as one of those boring American one-dimensional rapid-fire blasty-blast death metal bands that just aren't for me. But you and JT just keep bringing them up. You just can't stop yourselves. So I guess the time has come for the old goat to revisit them. You say this is your favorite Hate Eternal album, so I'm going in, wish me luck.

Well ok I'm back. They're not quite as bad as I'd remembered, not terrible at all. There were even a few spots where I almost found myself enjoying this. Almost. Vocals aren't annoying or anything, but they're really not that good either, they're just there. These horribly clickety rapid-fire drums definitely aren't good at all, that's the worst part of this for me. The overdubbed guitar solos seem weird and out of place and take my head out of the song. These songs aren't memorable, can't hum along with any of them, and they all have the exact same rapid-fire tempo that becomes a blur. This became quite tedious by like track 3 or 4. I won't say I hate them eternally, but this style of death metal semble fastidieux et ennuyeux.
Makes me a bit curious as to why people who don't listen to a ton of death metal like you and JT would latch onto this band out of all death metal bands. Leprosy or Cause of Death this is not. What's the main appeal here? It's not overly accessible, it's not very melodic, it's not particularly brutal, it's not breakdown city, it's not dynamic, riffs don't stick in your head, totally one-dimensional. They're not really bad, any one song taken on its own is reasonably listenable, but a whole album full of these is just not good. It's unremarkable, middle of the road, generic American rapid-fire clickety drum death metal that I'll forget as soon as I go downstairs to make coffee. They'd be serviceable as an opening band maybe, acceptable background noise for while I'm over at the bar purchasing a tasty cold beverage. Don't see these dudes as headline material. 
 
NP: Siniser - Hate, Netherlands 1995. Another legacy band I haven't spent a ton of time with, but right from track 1 this is far more interesting to me than Hate Eternal.
