It's going to be the new Devourment. They took a brutal death/slam album and gave it war metal production, it's crazy.

hopefully they got offered a ridiculous sum of money so trey spruance can finally finish however many secret chiefs albums he's got on the back burner

the Vultures Vengeance debut full length is good new trad metal from Italy although it probably isn't as good as their ep because it doesn't sound as much like Mercyful Fate.

Heaviest is probably the new Devourment although that Grenouille EP is giving it a run for its money. The un-heaviest, relatively speaking, is the new Disentomb which is a tremendous let-down compared to their older material.

I know you're not complaining, but I don't understand why some people are upset with the album's production. It's super slick compared to the slam metal classics.

Devourment's Molesting the Decapitated is one of my favourite metal albums and is a total classic, I would wholeheartedly recommend checking it out.

That youtube link I posted up-thread is the whole EP and has a link to their label's bigcartel. Other than that metal-archives? There isn't a ton of info out there about the band.

I think Butcher the Weak is their best but yeah Molesting is definitely a slam classic.

I have! I really liked that one as well, top 5 for last year IMO.

Mirror isn't quite speed metal- think 70s Priest and Scorpions worship. Still great though.

Other stuff I liked from the past couple years were Sabïre's Gates Ajar (although I got mad when I got to Daemon's Calling- it's a special kind of irritating when you rip off the Ace of Spades riff and Witching Hour in the same loving song), Vulture's The Guillotine, Ripper's Speed and Violence.

I wouldn't say any of this stuff is as good as Chevalier, VV, or Mirror though. gently caress, I think Traveler's S/T release this year is better than those and I don't think it'd make my top 5 this year. It's been a really loving good year for trad.

I was stopped at a red light listening to one of the new Devourment tracks and this guy standing on the corner, completely unprompted, told me that the music was "all over the place" which made it impossible to follow and therefore terrible.

Or maybe it's because he was drunk at 9:30 in the morning that he couldn't follow it? :thunk:

I just stumbled onto Obscura by Gorguts. It's 20 years old and somehow I have never listened to it even though 1998 was the beginning of my extreme music prime years. How did this album escape me for this long? It sounds so ahead of it's time.

I think I heard it for the first time when I was 16. The first 10 seconds basically twisted my head off. Obviously it's still one of my favorites.

Because it was ahead of its time.

None So Vile, Piece of Time, Effigy of the Forgotten, and Obscura come to mind immediately as albums so ahead of their time that they effectively set the standard for what was to come later.

make sure you listen to From Wisdom to Hate too because it's all killer, a bit more straightforward than Obscura but still wildly creative. the main riff of Inverted forever haunts me.

Colored Sands and Pleiades Dust are also very good. Gorguts rules. even the first two albums are very solid for death metal of that era.

you could try listening to Negativa too, its got a lot of the same weird poo poo as Gorguts while going in a different direction. RIP big Steeve, you were too cool for this world.
