Yo, 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.

I 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! 🤯 🤘🏽

#ThursDeath this week was an easy choice, I've been playing a ton of this ridiculous new LP 'Vermian Death', the debut record from worm-rotted Finnish band GRAVE HEX. This is some truly great, dynamic, nasty, churning, grueling, grody OSDM-inspired death metal. Yet again, the Finns don't miss.

For 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 …

This 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.

There 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…

#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…
