Because I don't know them... I still just stumble around in this genre.

Fair enough. Do check out Sunken's Livslede at least, I think you'd really enjoy it.

I didn't vote for the Afsky but I thought it was very good btw. I'll look into the Orm – that one slipped under my radar.
― pomenitul, Saturday, 13 March 2021 14:33 (three years ago) link
The Orm ep has brass! Still waiting for an album.
The bass-player from Afsky released a solo album last month as Udånde. It's called Life of a Purist, and, well, it doesn't exactly invent a new genre. But it's ok.

Thanks for the tip. Solbrud are also going to release a new album a couple of weeks from now.

I really can't believe nobody else voted for the Nechochwen/Panopticon split, "Rune's Heart" is such an incredible song.

forgot to bold my list, but at a quick pass, this is the stuff that didn't place in the top 100, I think -
Bog Body / Primitive Warfare – The Gate of Grief / Undulating TormentOksennus – Työn orjat sorron yöstä nouskaa200 Stab Wounds – Piles of Festering DecompositionYoth Iria – Under His SwayDeliquesce – Engineered FrailtyKryptamok – VerisaarnaUndeath – Lesions of a Different KindThaetas – Shrines to AbsurdityTorture Tomb – Killing to See How It FeelsDenunciation – California CommandoCrushing the Scepter – Echoing Screams of Madness and DelusionSerration – Shrine of ConsciousnessKommand – TerrorscapeStriges – Verum veterumGravesend – Preparations for Human DisposalDkharmakhaoz – Proclamation ov the Black SunsTerrestrial Hospice – Indian Summer Brought Mushroom CloudsIsengard – VårjevndøgnInternal Rot – Grieving BirthVassafor – To the DeathMoldé Volhal – Into the Cave of Ordeals…Aethyrick – GnosisLustre – The Ashes of LightExhumation – Eleventh FormulaeGreVlaR – Cloud of DeathIfernach – The Green Enchanted Forest of the Druid WizardOnirik – The Fire Cult Beyond EternityLeft Cross – Prophecy of ConquestChasmdweller – Bacterial LotusHerxheim – Incised ArrivalRat King – Vicious InhumanityVader – Solitude in MadnessAborted – La grande mascaradeVentr – Numinous NegativityFaustian Pact – Outojen tornien varjoissa
gonna rep for a few that really stood out to me...
bog body / undulating torment split:https://stygianblackhand.bandcamp.com/album/the-gate-of-grief-undulating-torment
the bog body side is just really in my sweet spot. slow and heavy bass/drums duo that is also pretty propulsive. not unlike ride for revenge and has me primed for more from them.
undulating torment side is messy grind, also cool.
oksennus:https://necrolatryrecords.bandcamp.com/album/ty-n-orjat-paholaisten-y-st-nouskaa
nothing like the other oksennus material I've heard, which was more like gorguts. loose and jammy but great vibe. feels a bit like something corrupted might have put out on a split.
200 stab wounds:https://200stabwounds-maggotstomp.bandcamp.com/album/piles-of-festering-decomposition
this was pretty hyped I thought but only one other person voted for it so... death metal that grooves pretty hard for its brief runtime. "she was already dead" is my fav cut.
crushing the scepter:https://crushingthescepter.bandcamp.com/album/echoing-screams-of-madness-and-delusion
very sparse and atmospheric, feels a bit like disembowlment gone black metal.
deliquesce:https://deliquesceau.bandcamp.com/album/engineered-frailty
another short and sweet death metal release. love the twangy bass work. it's like 6mins long, just give it a shot!
kryptamok:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhg2YAHibPU
could mostly be the similarities between the covers but I always think of emperor's nightside eclipse when I play this one. obv, it isn't as good as that but... it's pretty damn good.

I was wondering who else on here was brootal enough to vote for the Ingested, Neanderthal. Were you also the other voter for Putrid Pile perchance?
― Judi Dench's Human Hand (methanietanner), Saturday, 13 March 2021 23:35 (three years ago) link
As I noted wayyyyy upthread so maybe it has yet to get dealt with, I accidentally double-voted for Ulthar and the proof is in the c & p below: if a re-count is in order then I bellow 'mea culpa' hellward in the OSDMiest of manners:

I didn't even know there was a new Oksennus last year. Thanks for the tip. This is why I look forward to ilm metal poll every year.
― BlackIronPrison, Sunday, 14 March 2021 01:04 (three years ago) link
Xpost I was! Love the Pile!
― Red Nerussi (Neanderthal), Sunday, 14 March 2021 02:01 (three years ago) link
Thank you pom and Neechy for running the poll! Also thanks to NYCNative for recommending Serpent Omega in one of the threads, it's the best metal album I heard last year.
― braised cod, Sunday, 14 March 2021 16:04 (three years ago) link
Yea thx so much to the pollrunners. Lots of good stuff in this thread.
Don't be so afraid of the hardcore-adjacent bands. I'm pretty sure Gulch was my #1.
― billstevejim, Sunday, 14 March 2021 16:33 (three years ago) link
Thanks folks!
I don't actually dislike hardcore per se, but it helps to set up a few artificial fences lest the process of exploring new music become even more overwhelming.
― pomenitul, Sunday, 14 March 2021 17:03 (three years ago) link
whoa at the 200 Stab Wounds. get in my ears!!!! \m/
― Red Nerussi (Neanderthal), Monday, 15 March 2021 01:03 (three years ago) link
yeah, it's slam, but there are actual riffs instead of "chug 5 power chords really slow for 45 minutes while kids windmill in the pit"
― Red Nerussi (Neanderthal), Monday, 15 March 2021 01:05 (three years ago) link
ie like Dying Fetus
(the actual riffs part, not Dying Fetus being the latter. i will shut up)
Yeah, this is great. Thanks for the tip.
― o. nate, Monday, 15 March 2021 19:24 (three years ago) link
only thing I didn't like was the Ruptured in Purulence cover. it's pretty weak and it's one of my favorite Carcass songs and if you aren't gonna go balls out on that song you might as well just not.
but everything else on the EP is dope.
― Red Nerussi (Neanderthal), Monday, 15 March 2021 19:25 (three years ago) link
Do you guys want the poll run at the same time next year or earlier?
― Oor Neechy, Monday, 15 March 2021 20:35 (three years ago) link
I feel like waiting until the ilm main polls die down is a good idea, so I'd say roughly the same timeframe.

Just bumping this to say that I finally got my copies of both #4 (Sweven) and #11 (Slift) this week and they are both absolutely incredible. Wish I'd have gotten to them sooner, they both would have gotten another high vote for sure.
