Stormtroopers of Death
Speak English Or Die 30th Anniversary Edition
Megaforce
wow… this is 30 years old.  Why not reissue it?   Doesn’t really sound that much better… I’m not sure if it’s remastered or anything, but a great excuse to play this again!

Culture Killer
Throes of Mankind
Metal Blade Records
Just a brutal metal release.  It’s almost death metal, too heavy to just be thrash… Just good ol brutal metal… and great stuff too.

Phantasma
The Deviant Hearts
Napalm Records
Melodic epic fe-metal type stuff.  Some tracks get into some cool heavier metal stuff… but a lot of operattic female singy stuff.

Honeymoon Disease
The Transcendence
Napalm Records
Swedish groovin’ female fronted stoner metal… more of a throwback to a Heart meets Thin Lizzy than anything.

Firespawn
Shadow Realms
Century Media
Catchy brutal death metal with a big groooove.

BLOODSTRIKE
IN DEATH WE ROT
REDEFINING DARKNESS RECORDS
DEATH METAL
Classic death metal with some melodic death stuff going on.  Vocals are pretty harsh and just overall brutal.

POKERFACE
Divide and Rule
Irond/Molot
Thrashy death metal.  Good brutal feel but with that classic heavy thrash driving things through.

SECOND TO SUN
The First Chapter
Self Released
Technical metalcore type stuff… all instrumental, so it also flows into a prog metal category for me too.  cool stuff.

Steak Number Eight
Kosmokoma
Indie Recordings
A little doomy, a little stoner metal, a little black metal, some prog rock/metal stuff and yes, some post-metal too.  So, yeah I’m a little on the fence here.

DIMESLAND
Psychogenic Atrophy
Crucial Blast
To me, the music is a bit prog metal, as it is progressive and kinda all over the place, but a bit in that “experimental” metal area too.  And a bit metalcore.

RAMLEH
Circular Time
Crucial Blast
Doomy post metal with a little bit of proggy feel.

Dodsferd
Wastes of Life
Moribund
Doomy black metal.

Anomalie
Refugium
Art of Propaganda
Kind of melodic death/doom thing with black metal undertones.

EPHYRA
Along The Path
Bakerteam Records
Melodic death/folk metal.  Some growly vox, some screamy stuff and some clean sung female vox too.  Catchy and definitely has that stringy folk element going on too.

WAILIN STORMS
One Foot In The Flesh Grave
Magic Bullet Records
A bit doomy, and actually the closest thing I can compart this to is Danzig… even vocally.

Darkest Era
Gods and Origins
Cruz Del Sur Music
basically a prog metal thrashy thing.  Cool stuff… Track one is pretty heavy and catchy… track two is a bit more of a power ballad-ey type thing.

PUNCHING MOSES
Humanity Pandemic
Seeing Red Records
Kind of a punky hardcore… still metal, just has a punky influence.

ESCARNIUM

Redefining Darkness Records
Good blackened death metal.

Otargos
Xeno Kaos
Kaotoxin Records
More good blackened death metal with some melodic stuff going on too.

Atomic Symphony

Female fronted prog metal.  Kind of your basic power metal with some proggy metal interludes… The vocals are good, but just don’t seem to have an edge.

SACRILEGE
Behind The Realms of Madness (Reissue)
Relapse Records
Reissue of the 1985 album.  And you want female vox with an edge, here you go!   Old school thrash

2 song sampler of some good melodic black metal.

SELF RELEASED
2 songs of some classic old school black metal with a good melodic groove… vocals are harsh, but the music reminds me a bit of Satyricon.

Mindset X
Oceans
(indie)
Some catchy rock n roll.  Not really for the mosh pit, but if you’re looking for some good new rock check this out.

BEDOWYN
Blood Of The Fall
Self Released
I guess I could call this melodic death… but it’s not really all that deathy… more like just good melodic heavier metal type stuff.  I guess as I delve deeper, there’s some harsher stuff in here… but it’s more on the melodic side than death side.

Blood of the Wolf
I: The Law of Retaliation
Self Released
Brutal death metal… no letting up on this one.

Our Souls Evolve
Self:Consciousness
Famined Records
A deathcore thing happening here.  Catchy, brutal and a bit djenty too.

Post-metalcore… mallcore singy emo modern metal stuff.  Hot Topic’s top something of whatever… So yeah, heavy, then whiney vox then no thanks.

Shallow Ground
Embrace The Fury
Killer Metal
Heavy modern thrash with Agnostic Front-like vocals… a bit of a hardcore feel going on too.
