Unsure how folks feel about this band, but I'm interested in this new era. Curious how the new vocalist will sound on new material. He seems a decent match for Bell here, but I need more.

 

Bell is too important to their sound, Dino really should let this band die already. But I get wanting to keep the $$$ going.

 

cannibal corpse are a band i could never take very seriously but man are they a fuckin blast to lift to lmfao

 

Cannibal Corpse are legit one of the best death metal bands ever IMO.

 

Eh, I'm always willing to give a new iteration of a band a chance, especially if this guy sounds relatively close to Bell.

 

The new Wounds of Recollection is a pleasant record if you're into blackgaze

 

my fight or flight response triggers when i hear anything black metal-adjacent described as pleasant

 

i certainly wouldn't go that far but they're definitely very fun especially barnes-era stuff

 

Who would you put over them then?

 

they're objectively in the Big 4 of death metal at the very least

 

deicide, morbid angel, demilich, sinister, incantation, immolation.

cc are the most successful dm band but i probably wouldn't even put them in the top 20 quality wise lol

 

Bolt Thrower should be at the top of every DM list.

 

straight fax

 

my top 4

Bolt Thrower
Cannibal Corpse
Morbid Angel
Decide/Death/Suffocation - I'd personally probably go with Death

 

respectable list, even if i don't fully agree with it. i love seeing other's opinions on this stuff

 

I interrupt your inane death metal band rankings convo to bring you another edition of THRASH METAL THVRSDAY

First is an album from Swedish tech death thrashers Carnosus. This came on shuffle after I was listening to the Tithe album and it fkin ruled. The vox remind me of Archspire (at times) and the riffs are Revocation-ish. Just came out on the 10th:

And I'll admit I'm getting a little lazy and posting a couple classics for these next two, but it's moving week and I can't be arsed to put more effort into it, so enjoy a few old cuts.

Xentrix, UK thrash from the 80's that I somehow missed. They put out 4 albums from 1989-1996, disappeared for over 20 years, and have released two albums since 2019. Here is the opener from their 1989 debut, reminiscent of Testament:

And another classic from Annihilator. I was never super into them because of the vocals, but they always go hard on the riffs:

 

New Big Brave

 

Happy Insomnium, Big Brave, Heidevolk, Megaton Sword, etc Day to those that celebrate.

also a new Voidceremony song dropped yesterday, album out April 14th:

 

Daath are back, i never got super into them besides appreciating some guitar wank but it's cool to see em again
