Spanish black metal that brings to mind vivid religious images from the repetitive riffs and the chant-like vocals.
Meszaroth Sludge / Fuzz goodness with the new four way split from these bands featuring one of the coolest covers for a split album ever. Dopelord / Weedpecker / Major Kong / Spaceslug Instrumental stoner / sludge with a bassist and twin drummer lineup. The Lumberjack Feedback Naas Alcameth, the guy behind the awesome Nightbringer and madderning Akhlys returns with yet another project. Sounds almost Nightbringer but darker and more black. A perfect pick if you found the latest Nightbringer a bit too melodic, like me. Aoratos Death Attaxx!! Thundering and incredibly bass-heavy black/death metal from Israel. Zohama Great old school swedish death. Wretched Fate Pretty lo-fi doom death metal oozing with deep guttural vocals and shreiking solos. Caustic Vomit "Aggressive, filthy, noisey, blackened metal from the bowels of Ohio - Toledo. Sharing a member with Death Metal up-in-comers Mutilatred, these extreme metal fanatics created some truly disturbing Blackened Death that culls up some early Norwegian Black Metal vibes.." Meka Sickening death from Southern California. Crematory Stench Florida death featuring the member of Lascaille's Shroud on guitars and vocals. Soulmass

Well Totalitarian are back. They / he seems to have abandoned most of the eerie, atmospheric dissonance of the debut album in favour of a more straightforward, blasty black affair. Not sure it's going to be my bag now.

Oppressively heavy, drawn-out, emotional and dark one-man funeral doom from Tunisia featuring lots of organ and religious undertones. The eponymous track from their sophomore coming out soon this year. This is something to keep an eye out for. Omination

Adorable blackwave sort of thing. More like ambient black with some sinthy beats:  Outworlder - Droid Spiritual Also an epic 1-track avantgarde death metal ep:  Necro Cannibal Machinery - Serenity

Rather good dynamic black / death metal. Almost feels a little like one of those post-death bands at times but keeps it slightly in the proggy / tech realm despite sounding organic. Ceremony of Silence Sweet mix of black metal and cavernous sludge doom with swirling post-atmospherics. Wicked atmosphere. Vous Autres Very nice, languorous heavy doom with a slight psyche edge. The Well Cool sounding post-metal with atypical sound. Gets heavy and dense, and really dig the vocals here. The Haunting Green Ultra nasty atmospheric hardcore, in a very literal sense. Has nice rhythmic sections but with a thick, sludgy intensity. [EDIT: 2018 release however] Comess More nice heavy metal. This one has a giant pig on the artwork. Black Sites New Latitudes album. Big, dreamy post-metalscape with sleepy vocals. Latitudes Very good Swedish black metal. Not experimental in any way but they definitely have a unique sound. Blodskam One of the most "doom" doom albums I've heard in a bit. Fucking slow, proper downtrodden, spartan and empty songs, mega-tortured vocals and a little bit of noise influence. An Empty Room Spazzy mathcore with lots of short songs and a Cowboy Bebop name. SeeYouSpaceCowboy Already posted in the album thread, but the new Crowhurst track is too good to miss. Crowhurst

Pretty gosh darn massive and epic sounding black / doom. Also, the best DSBM band are back. Advent Sorrow Blue Hummingbird's full length now out. Not sure how I feel about it tbh, it's good for what it is, but what it is is not very BTC. Blue Hummingbird On The Left Modern, technical prog with Katatonia-esque vocals. Sermon

Incredibe, intense experimental black metal. I would definitely say for fans of Mories' work or someone who wants something a bit more approachable, but the breadth of sounds and influences involved may even put his projects to shame. Also amazing psychedelic d-beat from Brazil. These guys have created a pretty damn fine sound. Nice primitive thrash which I guess some people might call "blackened." Guessing that great art is by the person that did Obliteration's. Inculter Some kind of excellent metallic hardcore stuff. Eyes Sordide's new album is now fully listenable. It's excellent. Winding, earthy and challenging post-hardcore laden black metal with sweet bass. Sordide Finally, it's streaming. And now the new Funereal Presence is streaming. What a good few days for music.

Nasty ass black / death from Vitriol on Iron Bonehead. Wish I could find a bigger version of that art. Juicy ultra sludge. Blind Monarch Rather good progressive trad doom, has more of an edge than your usual. The Ghost Next Door

I don't do explanations of genres with my posts, sorry. I randomly throw stuff up here so you guys can take your chance with it. Gamble. Maybe you'll find something new.

Nicely produced tech-death, FFO of Anata and Gorod. Virophacus Morphinist keeping up the pace with yet another album. This time some pretty excellent sounding black metal with great, epic melodies. Morphinist Vindsval recommended black metal. Medieval, melodic and super riffy. Véhémence Not sure I really ever listened to Inter Arma, but I'll definitely be listening to this album. Single is some viciously percussive, Gojira-esque death / post / sludge doom (not sure why they're called black doom if this is what they sound like). Inter Arma Vanum album, comprised of Ash Borer and Yellow Eyes members, now fully listenable. Somewhat melodic black metal. A bit boring considering the pedigree.

Pretty nice black metal split. New Venom Prison track is predictably vicious. Sick, female fronted hardcore driven death metal. Her vocals sound much better than I remember. Venom Prison Weird avant-garde metal that is also good. Winterblind Spazzy structured, psychedelic prog sludge. Also good. Blunt Horse

Written by Starvynth on 17.02.2019 at 03:04 Most likely lol but even as a non-BMTH fan, I think the more enjoyable stuff on that album are the uses of electronics. Mainly I just really enjoy the opening track and one other.

Written by Quatropus on 17.02.2019 at 19:50 Well, I've never been a fan of them either, but I used to like e.g. Caliban 15 years ago and watched the development of metalcore from a distance. BMTH still played deathcore back then, now it's radio-friendly alternative rock - but not in a good way. I'm just sorry for their old fans. But imaging their new fans scares me quite a bit, to be honest.

Written by Starvynth on 17.02.2019 at 21:55 Oh yeah, I feel ya. I actually never listened to BMTH ever. I had friends who did listen to them but like at that time I was also diving deeper into like MeloDeath and Black Metal, as well as just the weird Prog shit lol. But no, I totally agree with the radio friendly statement. Also mentioned Caliban, I quite enjoy them a bit.

Written by Quatropus on 17.02.2019 at 22:36 I guess I liked old Caliban by accident only. In 2003, they played live and for free in the streets of my home town. It was a few months after their breakthrough album Shadow Hearts, but they were still quite unknown at that time. Anyway, some people did knew them and those fellows built a massive circle-pit right there in one of Cologne's biggest shopping streets. I literally stumbled into their gig (with ice-cream cone and shopping-bag in my hands) and didn't really know what was happening. But it was crazy as hell, I bruised myself several times and by the end of the song, my wafer was still there - but the ice-cream was spread all over the place and over quite some people. I bought their newest CD right there and it's still my most favorite metalcore album of all time. But I'm afraid we've gone slightly off-topic by now...

The new Helevorn album is a blast. Death/Doom with Gothic elements. Also lovely cover artwork.
---- Crackhead Megadeth reigns supreme.

Written by Quatropus on 18.02.2019 at 01:40 As already said, I mostly watched Metalcore from a (secured) distance and learned to love Caliban by accident only, but nevertheless, there are some very few bands I can recommend with a safe conscience: All Shall Perish Deathcore from Oakland, CA, but they remind me of old Caliban and The Black Dahlia Murder here and there. The Price Of Existence is their best album if you ask me, skip the rest if you don't like it. Purified In Blood Mixture of Metalcore and MeloDeath from Norway. I love these guys and all of their albums, but the debut Reaper Of Souls made the best impression on me. Raised Fist Hardcore punk/metal from Sweden. Well, they don't really sound like Caliban but if you happen to like any of the above, please check them out and let me know what you think. Sound Of The Republic is a good choice to get into this band. I recommend them because they make usage of some uncommon electronic and pop elements you would never expect from a band with hardcore roots. Luckily, they do not remind me of BMTH at all.
