INFESTED BLOOD.

You ever wonder what the sound of being sucked into a black hole through time and space would sound like?
I think it would be safe to assume that it sounds like THIS.

Infested Blood create some of the most caustic and agitating brutal death metal around - easily one of the most unique/underrated bands in the DM scene. If you enjoy the sound of a man vomiting broken glass & metal shards, ill car-crash guitar riff-runs, & relentless drumming that is - dare I say - "relentless", well then… here's your ticket to an endless vortex of eardrum battery...

COMMIT SUICIDE.

Way back in 2004 in Pittsburgh, PA these guys put out a beast of unsettlingly brutal death-grind.

Serious fretboard calisthenics (but with REAL riffs), manic-running bass lines, and drum patterns that the average person couldn't figure out the time signature of make this record stand on its own - even in this day and age where there's a million 19-year-old tech-geek guitar freaks running around, spouting off about their "brootal" bands, etc.

The internet says they are still on hiatus, but it sure would be nice to see if they ever became active again and try to one-up this release.

A great record for driving home in gridlock traffic.

GUTTURAL SECRETE.

This one goes out to all five of you who LOVED my last post!

These sick bastards from Las Vegas create a maniacal fury of blasting/grinding/intense death-grind with more than a few fucked/weird samples mixed in the fray.
The vocals are not-human-in-nature - oinky squeals all the way to deep-gut growls? You get it all.
Guitarwork? Masterful shredding indeed.
Drums? Lotsa doubled-up bass pedal action, lots of spastic blasting - so fucking tight!
Maybe the only weak spot is the bass, and there's nothing really to complain about there, just a bit more "in-the-pocket" than I'd expect for these fucked-up shit/death freaks.

This is a LOUD record that will definitely piss of everyone you know...

DRIPPING.

New Jersey seems to pump out some top-shelf brutal bands, doesn't matter if we're talking hardcore or metal here, folks.
You can't argue with that.

Dripping plays some extremely fucked up - I mean that in the best way possible - gurgled-out & gluggy brutal death complete with sick-ass samples, bass runs buried in mud, syrupy drum-flam-damage, adderall-addled vocal incoherence, etc. Altogether it adds up to a winning formula for me - one that I can say makes them one of my favorites for sure.

The internets says they are still active, but it's been years since they've released anything new. I'd love to see these guys onstage - it's got to be something amazing to witness this barely-controlled mess in a live setting.

POPPY SEED GRINDER.

Super-catchy brutal guttural grunt-style tech-death from the Czech Republic.
LIke how the "hockey haircut" is called a "mullet" these days, I guess the kids call this stuff "slam metal"? Whatevs, hipster.

This shit is straight-up brutal death; laden with lots of squealy leads, chunky riffs, guttural grunts & growls, a touch of the blast/grind to make a point here and there, & did I mention its also catchy as fuck?
