SurgicalBrute

In all seriousness, you couldn't have listened to a worse album by them as that's the first, and only one, they've ever really managed to shit the bed on. Try either Archidoxes of Evil or Power ~ Purity ~ Perfection...999

I think I get what you're saying....I find the "buzzsaw" sound from a lot of the recent 3rd rate HM2 copycat bands seems to have an almost artificial note to it that isn't there with the 90's bands. It's not clean, because it still has that recognizable fuzzy tone, but it doesn't sound quite right either. They're not a band I reach for a lot, but I always enjoyed early Morgoth. They kind of remind of what Death would have sounded like if Chuck hadn't gone in a more technical/progressive direction

Not sure how many of those you'll end up liking, but overall I find that to be a really good list. I enjoy probably about 85 - 90% of those bands. Found a couple of new ones to try as well

Nachtmaar - Sign Of The Antichrist https://hexenkult.bandcamp.com/album/sign-of-the-antichrist

Wait until you do that for 4 days in a row

No one else, huh? ...please, do tell 😜 Leidensweg - Carn Dûm https://twotowerstapes.bandcamp.com/album/carn-d-m

New album by Odz Manouk is actually due out sometime this year

Maȟpíya Lúta — Wowahwala Their first demo didn't really make an impression on me, but this one definitely clicked a lot better.

Ondfødt - Det Österbottniska Mörkret https://ondfodtblacklion.bandcamp.com/album/det-sterbottniska-m-rkret

I know this is an old post, but this just kind of made me chuckle because I swear, and maybe it's my area or just because I live in band shirts, but for some reason I could throw a rock and probably manage to hit someone who listens to metal. I've run into them in stores, on airplanes, in classes. Hell, barely a week ago I was over at a local boating supplies place picking up some wire terminals and the dude working there asks if I need a hand. Next thing I know he's asking me if I was actually at Metal Threat (had my festival shirt on) and if I like Ruins of Beverast.

CaveGhoul - Until the Light May Take Me https://hammerandflailrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/until-the-light-may-take-me

Cheers and welcome aboard. We'll try not to traumatize you too badly

It's because 2/3 of IP are members of Portal, so they're usually thought of as a side project, though technically IP existed before they joined Portal

Asphyx- Death, the Brutal Way Blood - Inferno Desultory - Counting Our Scars Incantation - Vanquish in Vengeance (if 6 years between releases is long enough) Mortem - Deinós Nekrómantis

Demonslaught 666 - Nekroslaughter Battlefield https://demonslaught666.bandcamp.com/album/nekroslaughter-battlefield

Well, for one, I believe it's being solicited as a documentary, not just a movie, so there should probably be some standards regarding authenticity when you're supposedly presenting factual information. I think the bigger issue, though, is just the sheer hypocrisy regarding the double standards when it comes to things like casting or cries about "cultural appropriation" in current times. If people are fine with things like colorblind casting and openly borrowing stories/history/etc from cultures they have no claim to, I'm completely willing to accept that...but be fucking consistent. That door needs to go both ways and no one better say a goddamn thing when Hollywood goes back to doing stupid shit like casting John Wayne as Genghis Khan. Instead though, we're going to continue dealing with bullshit where the same people who support the director of this Cleopatra flick telling actual Egyptians to sit the fuck down about their own culture, are also throwing a complete shit-fit over the girl cast in the live action Lilo and Stitch movie because she's apparently the wrong shade of Hawaiian.

New Cemetery Urn on the way this summer

New Fellwinter album was released about a week ago. New Torture Rack is on the way...weird to see them on 20 buck Spin though https://20buckspin.bandcamp.com/album/primeval-onslaught Welkin - Emblems of Valour Black Metal from China...wish it wasn't quite so polished (that seems to be the case with a lot of Chinese black metal I've heard), but musically it's pretty good. https://pestproductions.bandcamp.com/album/emblems-of-valour

Had these on CD since they were reissued a few years ago, but a recent conversation with friends got me to track them down on vinyl...price wasn't too bad, either

Burial Hordes - Ruins Greek Blackened Death https://burialhordesdm.bandcamp.com/album/ruins-death-black-metal?from=fandiscflw

Homselvareg - Ventunesimo secolo https://homselvareg.bandcamp.com/album/ventunesimo-secolo

Mystic Charm - Shadows of the Unknown

...and to answer your question...Yes

Thought it might be a fun way for my metal-dabbling nephew and I to get together and hang out, so I'm actually debating it...Most of the lineup is weak, but there's a few in there that are worthy: Hulder Undeath Spectral Wound Spirit Adrift Necrofier Vomit Forth Deceased Outer-Heaven Demiser Sadistic Ritual Cemetery Piss

https://catharticdm.bandcamp.com/album/through-the-abysmal-gates-of-subconscious Not bad, couple of decent solos, but I've heard it a thousand times
