We Are The Gore
Relapse
Brutal gory death metal. Great stuff with no fucking around.
Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats
Vol. 1
Rise Above
Old school sounding stoner metal, very throwback-y with a psychedelic stoner doom thing going on. Seems like this is a reissue of their first album from 2010
Gruntruck
Gruntruck
Found Recordings
Lost album from the early 90’s This band was in that grunge scene… has a melodic grungy sound, but with so many bands that came out at the time… this is kind of timeless.
My Ticket Home
UnReal
Spinefarm
Melodic modern metal, clean vox, some heavier guitar driven parts, some just more melodic and laid back.
Primus
The Desaturating Seven
ATO
First album in 6 years, first original album with “herb” since Tales from the Punchbowl. I have to say the last time I saw Primus a long time ago, they got to be too “jammy” for me live and then I kind of just lost interest, so did everyone else too I guess. Well, this new album is no Sailing the Seas of Cheese, but it’s quirky and unique… some big meaty grooves and that weird stuff that makes Primus, well, Primus. I think this will get better with more listens!
Samael
Hegemony
Napalm Records
Epic melodic death. heavy, catchy, great stuff me like!
Enslaved
E
Nuclear Blast USA
Melodic death/blackened prog metal. A bit in the extreme classic black metal, melodic death stuff and straight up prog metal, definitely more prog metal than earlier stuff from these guys… and leaning more in the Opeth side of metal. Great stuff.
Through The Eyes Of The Dead
Disomus
Entertainment One
Brutal death metal with a little bit of a “core” So yeah, it has a little bit of the brutal core going on, but really just full on brutal heavy metal. Good stuff!
MyChildren MyBride
Vicious World
Entertainment One
This is a bit of a doomy metalcore. A bit dark feeling, but still aggressive and fitting that metalcore mold. Maybe a little djenty and still a bit catchy/melodic in parts too.
Nachtblut
Apostasie
Napalm Records
German language gothy/folky melodic death metal, catchy stuff, a bit of a viking metal feel too.

Heavier brutal-ish melodic death metal. Technical, proggy, maybe a bit thrashy too. Great stuff.

Prostitution
Egyptian Blue

Blackened screamo death metal with some meedly melodic black metal doomy feel.
Band: Odradek Room
Album: A Man Of Silt
Label: Solitude Production
Usually when there’s a “post metal” thrown in a description I kind of just want to skip it… For some reason, this one played in the backround longer than typical for me and it does have some longer doomy stuff going on, but there is some cool chilled out prog metal/prog doom going on to make it interesting.
