@jake4480@c.im#ThursDeath this week is the excellent new LP 'Necrotic Terror' by Chicago's SWINGING MACE (it's just one guy, Brian Higgins, who is also the guitarist for Gored Embrace). It's not on Bandcamp, but it's on YouTube and Qobuz, both links below.
@jake4480@c.imBonus #ThursDeath? Sure, why not, I have it #NowPlaying. It's the new single from Joensuu, Finland deathgrinders BLISTEROUS. It's nasty, it's the first track from their upcoming EP 'Grotesque Prosection', I dig it.
@jake4480@c.imFor this week's #ThursDeath, we're going back to the late 90s/early 2000s. Gorestench was from France and weren't around long, but they recorded the fantastic 'Stench of the Dead' demo in 1999. This is a masterclass in OSDM-- brutality, wild riffage, killer drums, solid dynamics, great guttural vocals. The last track here is a bonus track, added from a 2001 compilation, and it's …
@jake4480@c.imThis week's #ThursDeath is EP 'Voidspawn Sacrifice' from last year by northern Italy's IGNOBLETH. This is death with dynamics, it has both faster and sloggy parts, and it also has some black metal touches (kinda war metal). And these guys are doing it well. The band members are super young, in their teens (16 and 17 as of last year), and already making amazing shit like this. Hope they k…
@jake4480@c.imThis week's #ThursDeath is GOUTED CORPSE from Cleveland, Ohio. They have a couple EPs under their belt, one last year, and this one from this year- 'Blighted'. Great dynamics, riffs, growly but understandable vocals. Maybe some thrash and grind in there too. Excellent, grody rippers of songs on this one.
@jake4480@c.im#ThursDeath this week is another older, broken up band that I've been digging lately. SLUGATHOR was from Espoo, Uusimaa, Finland, and was active from 1999-2010. They had a few LPs, but I think my favorite of theirs is 'Circle of Death', originally released in 2006 (this is the 2020 reissue). Grueling, cavernous OSDM here like the Finnish can really nail - the likes of which clearly influence…
@jake4480@c.imThere isn't a lot of 'revolt metal' out there, but there should be. Syracuse, New York's TOILER make exactly that on their new EP 'The Master's Tools', and that's why it's a killer #ThursDeath for this week. After a cool, chuggy/ambient intro track (THIS is how you make an intro track!) the other four songs grind and churn in all the right ways. There's crushing d…
@jake4480@c.imYo, kid, I heard you like 90s death metal demos. I gots another one for you with this week's #ThursDeath. BOTULISM was from Marlborough, Massachusetts and they only released one demo in 1997, 'Feasts of Lunacy', before disbanding in 1998. It was re-released last year. It's weird, it's riffy, it has some rattly snare, it's cool as fuck.
@jake4480@c.imI don't often talk about albums before they come out, but my favorite metal band just announced their debut LP for next month, so fuck it, bonus #ThursDeath this week. Seattle's DEGRAVED will unleash 'Spectral Realm of Ruin' onto a mostly unprepared world November 14, and there's a good possibility this'll be my album of the year, or close to it. The preview track! FUCK! 🤯 🤘🏽
