Interment - Into The Crypts Of Blasphemy (2010)

There are so many bands nowadays ripping off the Entombed - Left Hand Path formula, but who can complain when its easily one of the best death metal albums of all time?! Here is another fine example, Interment deliver death metal old school swedish style, which is the best way! So if you don't like it, stop complaining poser and go back to your lifeless, boring, technical garbage! Hail old school Swedish death metal!

Antediluvian - Through The Cervix Of Hawaah (2011)

Well, here it is. I said this would be the metal release of the year and I'm here to say it does live up to those expectations. Do not waste any more time, get this now.

Paradise Lost - Lost Paradise

Essential. The beginning of death/doom metal in the early 90s, along with Peaceville labelmates Anathema and My Dying Bride. Shame that they didn't keep with this style.

Reculsa - The Anticonscience (2011)

Reclusa mix of a whole lot of stuff to surprisingly great effect, including death/doom, industrial, ambient and noise. I liked this description from the Crucial Blast website: "It's like a doomdeath album being played at half speed while someone splices in Throbbing Gristle and Wolf Eyes". Its difficult to draw reference points but if you like diSEMBOWELMENT, Godflesh, Gnaw Their Tongues or the aforementioned Wolf Eyes then you should enjoy this. An incredibly heavy and original album, check it out.

Ruin Lust - Demo CDR (2011)

Black/death metal featuring a member of Fell Voices. Here is the CD-R rip of their demo. You can buy the cassette at Psychic Violence, which apparently sounds much better (although this still sounds good).

Bastard Priest - Ghouls of the Endless Night (2011)

I'm posting some stuff that I have not yet had the chance to listen to, but here is the new Bastard Priest LP and I'm sure its going to be killer since their previous album was one of the best death metal releases from 2010. Taking cues from early Entombed, Dismember and Grave, these guys are one of the finest bands to come out of this new old school of death metal craze that has been going on in recent times and I can't wait to sink my teeth into this one.

Immolation - Providence (2011)

New Immolation EP! It rules, as expected. Delicious riffs.

Download

Disma - Towards the Megalith (2011)

A huge and dark death metal monster featuring the untouchable vocals of Craig Pillard (Incantation, Disciples of Mockery, Evoken, etc) as well as members and ex-members of Methadrone, Incantation, Funebrarum and Assuck. To be honest, their demo was one of the best death metal demos I've ever heard and this will probably be one of the best, if not the best death metal release of the year.

Antediluvian - Revelations in Excrement (2011)

Canadian death/black mayhem. Here is their latest EP and its fucking incredible. This one leans much closer towards death metal than previous efforts, which had a lot of the bestial BM elements as well. Some of the best metal I've heard this year for sure, I really can't wait to hear their new full length which is being recorded right now.

Corpsessed - The Dagger and the Chalice (2011)

I posted a song from these guys a while back, and I've been pretty psyched to hear this EP for a while now. Dark death metal featuring a member of Wormphlegm.

Ilsa - Tutti il Colori del Buio (2010)

Heavy sludge/death doom with touches of crust from the US. For fans of Coffins, Hooded Menace (who they just released a split with), Corrupted, etc. Highly recommended, this album kicked my arse hard when I first heard it.

Pustulation - Orgy of the Dead (2010)

Killer death metal, highly recommended! Not much more needs to be said, just get it!

Zombified Preachers of Gore - Demo 1991

Heres another underrated gem of a demo released on Wild Rags in 1991. Excellent dirty death metal in a similar style to Repulsion!

Corpsessed - Altar of Worms (track)

Not an album this time, just a single track but its a good one. Some dark death metal for ya right here, this track slays and the EP is one of my most anticipated releases at the moment. Featuring a member from the ungodly Wormphlegm, who create a similar cavernous atmosphere through crushingly heavy funeral doom, Corpsessed definitely take their cues from the Incantation, Immolation and early Swedish cult school of death metal. There are some different tracks on their myspace which are also very impressive. One to look out for.

Morbid - December Moon

Arrgh alright!! This is still one of the best metal demos ever recorded! Sickening raw death metal that is still unctouchable to this day. To me, Morbid were and always will be better than Mayhem, and its sad that a lot of people just see this as a pre-Mayhem kind of band because tbh they fucking own Mayhem. Hopefully you all got the recent 12" together with the Slayer #20 (yes the infamous Slayer magazine of the 90s underground extreme metal scene!) put out by NWN - brilliant stuff.

Download

Obliteration - Nekropsalms

Amazing norwegian old school death metal which has the spirit of all of the great bands from the 90s. I can hear influences from several different bands within the genre too - there are doomy sections, gruesome vocals and some really badass shredding. No doubt one of the best death metal albums of the past few years! Awesome live band too!
