Bodysnatch - Insights Of A Rotten Theatre (2011). [BDM] This band offers everything from excellent guitar riffing, top-flight vocals, tight drumming, and creative songs, interludes, hooks, and structures. Elite production. |
2.
|
Abominable Putridity - The Anomalies Of Artificial Origin (2012). [Slam] Again some squeals or would be higher on my list. The drumming and kick-drum mix is pounding and probably the best in genre. The complex and tight guitar riffing is endlessly interesting. Elite production. |
3.
|
Deadly Remains - Severing Humanity (2012). [BDM] Along the lines of Pathology in vocal style and riffing formulas but simply done better. Creative accenting chord-work elevates the entire album. Very tight guitar playing and endless filthy riffs. Elite Production. |
4.
|
Begging For Incest - Orgasmic Selfmutilation (2012). [Slam] Would be higher save for the frequent pig-squeals, but offers filthy, creative riffs and top-notch slams with excellent sound among all instruments. Excellent production. |
5.
|
Pathology - Awaken The Suffering (2011). [BDM/Slam] A terrific mix of guitar riffing, cohesive drumming, and excellent low growls and gutterals. Filthy brutal sound with good bass, energy and technicality with some catchy hooks. Excellent production. |
6.
|
Abnormity - Irreversible Disintegration. [BDM] Crushing guitar and drum sound with precision and varying tempos. Excellent production. |
7.
|
Kraanium - Post Coital Fixation (2012). [Slam] Knuckle-draggin', slammy goodness. Cutting edge slam with perfect riffs and drum tempos. Stands out as among the best in slam for a variety of reasons, though not as creative as Begging For Incest in terms of diversity and originality. Excellent production. |
8.
|
Abysmal Torment - Omnicide (2009). [BDM]If it weren't for terrible production compared to the others ahead of this it would most certainly be in the top-5. Blinding string-skipping guitar playing, insanely heavy, brutal wall of sound with some of the lowest-tuned guitars ever (G#). Creative and brilliant chords and riffing. Poor production. |
9.
|
Visceral Throne - Omnipotent Asperity (2012). [BDM/Slam] One of the newest bands in the genre, featuring a blend of BDM and Slam that is relentless with energy and somewhat technical riffing. Keeps growing listen after listen. Very well done album start to finish and a newer, complex formula that is original and refreshing and just so, so good. Excellent production. |
10.
|
Katalepsy - Music Brings Injuries (2007). [BDM/Slam] Masters in the genre. This could easily be higher on this list. Many albums after this album came out try to emulate components of it. Fair production. |
11.
|
Defeated Sanity - Psalms Of The Moribund (2008). [BDM] Really a pioneering band in the genre that later spawned a lot of the bands' styles that have refined it and put their own take on it. Still, a masterwork of drumming and guitar brutality. Fair production. |
12.
|
Visceral Disgorge - Injesting Putridity (2011). [BDM] A well-done album with guitar-driven brutality and complex riffing, energy, and enough technicality to keep it interesting and catchy, at times. Good overall sound, gutterals. Perhaps a small amount of Dying Fetus influence, too. Good production. |
13.
|
Decaying Purity - The Existence Of Infinite Agony (2011). [BDM] Another Defeated Sanity-eque band that combines dark, speedy, subhuman riffing and drums and vocals that aren't out front. Fair production. |
14.
|
Defeated Sanity - Chapters Of Repugnance (2010). [BDM] Further establishing their proven formula of BDM with blinding guitars, well-crafted drum-work, and distant low vocals. Fair-Good production. |
15.
|
Pathology - Legacy Of The Ancients (2010). [BMD/Slam]Very similar to Awaken To The Suffering (above). A formula that works with very good musicianship, riffs, and drum-work throughout and stand-out vocals that fit nicely. Good production. |
16.
|
Disgorge - Parallels of Infinite Torture (2005). [BDM] Another somewhat pioneering band in the BDM genre that delivers guitar-driven complexity and filth throughout. Fair production. |
17.
|
7 H. Target - Fast-Slow Demolition (2012). [BDM/Slam] Creative and original with surprises, twists, and turns throughout. Heavy and crushing. Unlike any band on list but still exceptional and a regular visit to my player. Fair production. |
18.
|
Pyaemia - Cerebral Cereal (2001). [BDM] Perhaps the influence to the influencer (Defeated Sanity). Widely regarded as an album ahead of its time since proven to be true. Fair production. |
19.
|
Chordotomy - The Precious Ideal (2012). [Slam] Simplistic, original slam after slam that doesn't deviate from their own formula. Good ole' knuckle-draggin' slam from a pair of Germans that delivers and album with quality, simple tracks throughout. Not as stimulating as some others but something special is present. Fair production. |
