pov: death metal albums

they're so popular here that pretty much few other local acts have really emerged cos it's a heavy shadow to be in. Intoxicated is the other band that's blown up here, but they're actually an older band that went dormant for a while. since they've been back, they've gotten almost as many bookings as Teh Lord.

Cancer - To the Gory End
Embalmed - Boiling Humans
Dying Fetus - Killing on Adrenaline
Regurgitation - Tales of Necrophilia
Wombbath - Internal Caustic Torments

Purtenance - Member of Immortal Damnation
Funebrarum - Beneath the Columns of Abandoned Gods
Fluids - Ignorance Exalted
Putrid Pile - Collection of Butchery
Fulci - Tropical Sun

I really enjoyed Grave’s dominion viii recently, I think the consensus is that they long stopped mattering by this point, but it fucking rips imo, maybe it’s the remaster?

I don't know that one specifically, but most all Grave is pretty damn good.

also spawned one of the more hilarious Jeff Gilbert album reviews in Guitar World history, of their Extremely Rotten Live album, to which his review was merely "Yes, it is"

write-in vote for Malignancy - Intrauterine Cannibalism, which was one of a few albums I bought in college just from the album cover.

they're more known for their more tech-deathy later stuff, but this one is just raw dumb shit with good riffs.

funebrarum are some kinda direct hit right into my brain’s idiotic pleasure zone, i can’t even be critical about any of it, really

that said, the sleep of morbid dreams is ridiculously great stuff

5 recent-ish ones of crushing brutality:

Angel Morgue - In the Morgue of Angels
Coffin Rot - A Monument to the Dead
Imprecation - Damnatio ad Bestias
Sněť - Mokvání v Okovech
Vastum - Orificial Purge

yeah that Imprecation is great

really liked their last one too. i mean, they’re all great to some degree or other (of what i’ve heard)
