i'm kinda disappointed by th inclusion of so many metalcore/deathcore bands. the black dahlia murder, between the buried and me, whitechpel, suicide silence are not death metal.
hate!, have you listened to the berzerker or anaal nathrakh? i think i suggested them to you in a different thread.
i've been really into blut aus nord ately-crazy avant-garde/post-black metal from france and an avant-garde black metal band called mirrorthrone. it's all one guy and he has another one man band called weeping birth that's "brutal black metal." what's everyone's thoughts on this "slam death metal" that's popping up?
Berzerker, I am on the fence about, part of it is just brutal for the sake of brutal, but it's just not..... agoraphobic nosebleed? I put him in the same group as XXX Maniak, kinda fun to listen to but ultimately I don't give a shit. Anaal Nathrakh on the other hand.... I used to always get them confused with Rotten Sound until I became a fan of both. I like them a good deal.
If you are liking weird as fuck black metal, I cannot suggest these bands enough
portal
gnaw their tongues
deathspell omega
and the new funeral mist is the best black metal album i've heard this year (leviathan/acherontas split is pretty damn close)
i listened to "exit" by rotten sound and it was so sick! i just gotta hope metal haven (an all metal CD store in chicago) has that next time i go up there. i wanna get last days of humanity too. i've been getting nito the more rutal shit lately, so give me any suggestions if you got them. i recommend "servile insurrection" by severed savior. really good technical brutal death, but not super technical. i haven't heard portal or gnaw their tongues, but i gotta give deathspell omega another try. i fell like i should be able to really get into them (especially because i read bataille, who they're inspired by), wolves in the throne room, and axes of perdition.
i'm liking this black metal band profundi. just nice, modern black metal. and i see what you're saying about the berzerker, but their good for just fast, aggressive shit.
and i agree with wiggerslam, BUT cemetery rapist is pretty sweet. "you'll never catch me chris hansen" is just a hilarious concept.
