Indeed. I don't know which is better. Convulse or these guys. Either way, some of the most underrated DM ever.

I hear death metal, black metal, melodic death metal, and god knows what else. I don't know how the **** to categorize this, but it's ****in' ace, man!

Sentenced - Capture of Fire

so many great Finnish bands.

some of my favorites (excluding the 2 you mentioned):






and of course, one of the best Death Metal albums of all-time:

currently listening to:



This is one of the most unique sounding Death Metal albums I have heard. The addition of violins give them a sound that is one of a kind.

One of the essentials in the style.

ps. time how long you laugh when looking at the album cover and post results:

probably my favorite song by them:

Oh what I would give to see Gojira live...hopefully the upcoming album means a stateside tour near my locale

conjures up images of muscular Brazilian warriors facing off against a demi-demon

Weird but awesome combo of death metal and electronica.



I've seen them live, it was...okay. The music was cool, but they were just reserved onstage. They came off as a support act rather than a legitimate world class metal band.

Melodic, brutal, epic, this band has it all.

I actually prefer the stuff they after this on Elegy and Tuonela.

Really? I Love "Elegy".... but I think they had something really special on the first 2 albums.
