warchrist30 This is the perfect album and band to show someone how compositionally diverse and amazing Death Metal can be. In my mind this is a DM classic. Favorite track: Voices of the Wailing Deceased.

about

Featuring members of Unmerciful, US death metal band Marasmus whip up a veritable death metal maelstrom with a relentless barrage of riffs, off-the-hook jackhammer drumming and absolutely savage throat-ripping vocals to top it off. This is a systematic barbaric onslaught that lays to waste everything in its wake. The music reaches dizzying speeds and it all starts to get hypnotic at some point, but that’s probably because the momentum is fueled by rhythmic, pulsating beats and corresponding vocal patterns that reach a devastating, mind-numbing crescendo. This is one of the most stripped-down versions of the brutal death metal style, leaving bare the raw aggression, unbridled anger and sheer fit of catharsis. It’s a rare thrill to delve into something so visceral and feral. Albums like these don’t come out too often and it’s best to brace yourself and prepare for a deadly, neck-snapping ride.

Grand Malevolence

DEPRAVITY's sophomore and maybe Magnum Opus so far, though a new album is coming soon, maybe taking the top spot on the podium... Another brilliant mix, flawless prod, massive and punchy, delivered with surgical precision by the Aussie DM act. Again, supporting TOR, I just wanted to add the CD to my BC collection, but I can't see any DM fan turn their heads aways from this masterpiece! sashavonkarl74

Finest Finndeath and self-titled opus released just a few years back and feeling modern while paying respect to the old school pioneers of the DM Finnish scene... Riff-laden and crushing, this is a gem for all OSDM fans out there. Thank you Kunal for the NYP offer, I gladly gave more, too good to pass! sashavonkarl74

Well executed death metal that's classic sounding without being retro enough for the OSDM tag. Think Kataklysm with shades of early Vader and Gorguts. About time I pulled the trigger on this one. It's been on my wishlist long enough. Ghuughra
