Gates of Ishtar- A Bloodred Path (1996)

Gates of Ishtar

A Bloodred Path (1996)

Genre- Melodic Blackened Death Metal

So, I was going to post the new Abominable Putridity album but I figured shit, if you wanted to check it out you would have gone ahead and done so already. But so you know, the album fucking kills and you should definitely go check it out, then buy it at the end of Febuary. Anyway, Gates of Ishtar is from Sweden and sound nothing like Abominable Putridity. This album 'Bloodred Path' is their debut and its packed with outstanding song writing and delivers a constant head bob to the listener. Elements of death metal, black metal and classic heavy metal come together very nicely here. Check this out, especially fans of Ragnarok.

Vimanas- Demo (2012)

Vimanas

4 song demo (2012)

Genre- Death Metal, Grindcore

Not much info here, the first 3 tracks technically make up this demo with song 4 being an unfinished bonus track from 2011. Overall a very dark and chaotic sound, I've listened through it a few times already and I've really come to enjoy this unique lo-fi breed of death metal. Feedback is encouraged as this is a band request.

Gorey Gibbler- The Grindfeld Discography

Gorey Gibbler

The Grindfeld Discography

Genre- Sein-Grind

originally posted 12/27/11

I have been watching a lot of Seinfeld recently. Shocker. Gorey Gibbler was a one man grindcore band dedicated completely to Seinfeld. Genius. I knew it was only a matter of time before I posted this nonsense for ya. This guy was a fuckin riff machine, lots of fast, creative and driving riffage here. Blistering fast drum machine action, the vocals are few and far between and are highly distorted. GG relied more audio clips, fans of the show will absolutely love the samples and subject matter here. This download is actually an anthology of all the Gorey Gibbler recordings; 'The Griendfeld Chronicles' 'Sein-Grind vs Swine-Grind' and 'The Shape of Sein-Grind To Come'. Enjoy this whacky shit.

(updated link, with the actual discography this time...)

Horrendous- Sweet Blasphemies (2009)

Horrendous

Sweet Blasphemies (2009)

Genre- Death Metal

A exciting, well produced demo from one of my favorite new bands, Horrendous. The explosiveness of their song writing should be noticed right away, these guys are pushing modern death metal while still keeping a very open old school edge. The 'Sweet Blasphemies' demo was limited to 200 red cassettes and a small CD-R release sold though the bands website before signing to Dark Descent records. Make sure to check that amazing label out as well as pick up their new full length 'The Chills' by following this link.

((Re-Reissue w/full artwork))

Genre- Blackened Death Metal

originally posted on 11/13/11

The Daemon Project is a 2 man blackened death metal project based half in the United States and half in South Africa with all work being transfered back and forth over the internet. This link now has a high quality mp3 of 'Excrement of an Angel'. This track originally appeared on the EP in very low quality. Now hear all 4 tracks the way they were supposed to sound.

Update: Both members of The Daemon Project are now living in the United States. Hopefully more music will follow this news. The band has been on a 4 year hiatus.

Unearth- Malformed Cranium (1994)

Unearth

Malformed Cranium (1994)

Genre- Death Metal

Down boy, this isn't the tired old metalcore act by the same name. This is brutal old school New York meets Floridian style death metal from the early 90's, hailing from New Mexico. This demo is full of bass heavy grooves and an evil atmosphere, low swooning vocals and very doomy solos. A fun 5 song for fans of buzzing, old school death metal.

Incarnis- Castigation (1992)

Incarnis

Castigation (1992)

Genre- Death Metal

A solid demo offering from this obscure group of old school Virginia death metallers. Lots of groovy speed heavy thrash elements coupled with an experimental death metal overtone and blackened edges. Man, its too bad Incarnis never released a full length, I'm really digging on this shit right now.. Enjoy.

pretty sick logo, huh

Arkaik - Skingraft Hieroglyphics [Pre-Production] (2012)

Arkaik

Skingraft Hieroglyphics (Pre-Pro demo)(2012)

Genre- Techy Deathcore

Good stuff here, they've definitely matured a little bit and have taken on a more spacey sound with a bit more depth in the songwriting. Not bad, I look forward to more.

The Mayans were right! It's the end of the world (wide web)

Hey guys, I'm going to keep it short.

As I'm sure most of you know, MegaUpload is now gone, and Mediafire has undergone a serious purge as of today although I dont believe everything is gone... yet..

However, I am going to keep this blog going. Part protest, part crazy, all stubborn.

You can help me (and other bloggers) by continuing to visit and voice your opinions as well as any other ideas and suggestions you may have.

For now, if you come across a dead link for an album on this blog that you absolutely cannot live without please comment the blog post with your email information. I will do my best to get you the mp3's you crave, within reason...

Roger Klotz- Ignorance Eternal (2009)

Roger Klotz

Ignorance Eternal (2009)

Genre- Hardcore/Metalcore

What is it with New Jersey and bands named after 90's TV characters? Hack Morris and Danny Tanner are the 2 that come directly to mind. This is not another bullshit joke album though, I promise you, this one is full of well recorded riffage, excellent drumming and lyrics focused around the stupidity of a certain strain of pop culture. To my knowledge this 6 song EP is the only recording ever released. Unfortunately the band Roger Klotz was only around for about a year, luckily I had the chance to catch them at a VFW, great shit. If you like intense floor clearing breakdowns, high energy old school hardcore circle pits and fucking hate the Jersey Shore than this is an absolute must download.

Ignorance Eternal

Wolvhammer- The Obsidian Plains (2011)

Wolvhammer

The Obsidian Plains (2011)

Genre- Death/Black/Doom

A unique blend of blackened death metal and sludge with hints of death & roll and thrash that absolutely hits the mark hard. This 7 song full length from these US experimental metallers will crush the listener many times from beginning to end.
