the occasional thread for mean, nasty, ugly, evil metal that doesn't smell good and that takes itself way too seriously

bought a copy of this today. fuck yeah.

Drawn and Quartered - To Kill is Human

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ9oDr4J-fQ

Nice, would not have guessed that was a 2018 album.

This band Faff-Bey might fail on the taking themselves way too seriously thing but how many proto-black thrash bands were on Bad Vugum back in the day. Honestly some label like Hell's Headbangers should be falling over themselves to reissue this, it's better than 9/10ths of their retro shit.

Oh ofc some Finnish label reissued this album and their demos earlier this year.

not 'old', but kind of obsessed with the band Fluids lately. many call this the "Mortician-clone", some pejoratively, some in praise, but it's somewhat unfair. the main similarities are that they have programmed drums (but much quieter and more subtle than Mortician's endless battering ram), really sub-zero detuned guitar/bass and the vocals aren't too different, but riff-wise, they like to play hella fucking slow, whereas Mortician often do fast deathgrind that can be an incomprehensible blur of power chords at times. Fluids like to slow it down and pummel. Like Mortician also, no solos.

but they also do a lot of synth work, sometimes between songs or as an intro to songs, and it's unsettling. oh, and the final similarity is the soundbites, though Fluids doesn't take theirs from movies, but real life horrors.

if you're into things like complex riffing or, idk, significant variance, look elsewhere, but when I'm in the mood for this oppressive shit, it's pretty great.

though Fluids doesn't take theirs from movies, but real life horrors

this is basically why i don’t like them nearly as much as mortician. kicking off with your record with a guy reading his suicide note before presumably offing himself is just not my idea of a good time.

always loved horror movies, always hated faces of death…

Nean, thanks for posting Fluids. I could live w/o the intros too but I am sitting here at a laptop banging my head with joy to these fucking grotesque riffs.

Mutiilation - Vampires of Black Imperial Blood

Good shit! I always liked Suffer the Gestalt or whatever a lot too. And Black Millennium had its moments, think it gets downrated because he pretending to kill himself before it was releases or something.

really into this band i heard on the radio, Visceral Reaction. i guess they're in high school? lol. i think it's awesome.

for instance, this one. love this! chicago-area band. never did anything else i don't think. but i'm sure these guys went on to other bands.

really enjoying this. black/death stuff. they have a new EP. gonna play that next.

this also speaks to me. guess i'm just in a blackdeath mood. i blame the world.

love this! (hard to find a copy of the reissue in the u.s. but i will prevail.)

this makes my top ten of the year. if i had one. love the atmosphere. and its from the states too! which surprises me for some reason. maybe because i love it. but there are people hidden away doing good things here. hiding. hiding makes sense.

(to be fair to americans who don't hide i really did like that Horrendous album a lot and they are very popular in that world of theirs...)

There's a new Petrification album coming out in February. They're from Portland, Oregon, but they're on Svart, a label from Finland. Anyway, here's "Twisted Visions of Creation":

this is kind of 'random old metal' but i think fits this thread. i got curious about seeing what kevin drumm interviews were floating around out there, and in one of them he mentions this band from edmonton, revenge.

love Cerebral Rot

i never get tired of this record. someone should reissue it. unheralded sludge classic! i might have heralded it in Decibel Mag at the time. definitely one of my fave rock records of the 21st century.
