For the longest time I thought Atheist were boring, but for the last two days I've been blasting the **** out of their first two albums. Debut is some awesomely brutal tech/death thrash with crazy riff snakes all over the place. Second album is off-the-wall, jazzy tech death that's so much more fun and whimsical than that sounds, and was probably beamed to Earth from a flying saucer full of stoner aliens in denim jackets. Almost like if Voivod kicked five times as much ass and wasn't lame as ****.

That's what you get for listening to [insert artist I don't like]: you go around writing off great **** like Atheist.

So apparently Death once covered KISS. And it was awesome. Who knew?

^^ Death could cover Mamas and Papas B-sides and it would be brutal and ****ing awesome.

A metal affluent friend of mine recommended Lair of the Minotaur to me a year or two ago.

Not quite sure how to categorize these fellas: they've got a potent mixture of melodic progressive metal with some crossover into heavier realms (you can hear elements of both death and black metal at times). Either way, they've got a knack for memorability.

As with many people I've kind of ignored Spiritual Healing for the longest, and this is bull****. It's actually a pretty unique album in death metal, as there are very few bands creative enough to evolve from primitive, ugly, 80s death metal to full on tech/prog death metal, so you also don't have very many albums so successfully transitioning from one to the other. Spiritual Healing has much of the accessible brutality of Scream Bloody Gore and Leprosy, but is mature, accomplished, and slick in a way that isn't boring or sterile. Kinda reminds me of Heartwork tbh, but with less groove and speed, and more of some of the sickest lead guitar on Earth. By the end of the week I'm fully expecting to be a Death fanatic.

What little I've heard of djent has not impressed me, but Decapitated do a brilliant job of combining Meshuggah with tech death. Heavy as ****, brutal as ****, but coldly mechanical at the same time. I can't remember the last time I was this into death metal. I like this development.

My favorite description of Arghoslent is still one found in a MA review: Pirates of the Caribbean meets the KKK

currently on Augury



Although I imagine I'll be coming back to this thread for some more recommendations. Rorschach sounded interesting. Will need to listen a bit longer.
