That is one sweet list. Few of em I've never even heard of

halfway update: I’ve recognized every horror sample/reference so far!

oh and there’s also a lot of riffs!

Cheers Bloc! Check the ones you haven't heard for sure. I can guarantee that they all slay for days!

And nice Hyperion! How you feel about it now that it's over?!? I love that Leatherface cover as the closer! They definitely sample some great horror flicks too. They were one of the earliest Razorback Records band and that label is chock full of horror nerds jamming riffs. Razorback damn near single handedly reeled me into dm in my younger years of loving riffs and cheesy horror films. Frightmares guitarist Maniac Neil is in some other killer bands worth jamming like Blood Freak, Lord Gore and Whore. Their other guitarist was in another killer band called Fornicator that is so slept on it's practically like they never existed. Neil is one of my favorite musicians of all time though. Dude has an insane ability to churn out stupid catchy riffs like it's nothing

it really reminds me of like carcass and exhumed. lots of thrash and a few melodeath riffs here and there.

my favorite track was by sword, by pick, by axe bye bye. the final riff in that song rules so hard.

We've got the same favorite. Barbecutioner ties for it also imo. Agreed on that riff being a masterpiece. Oooof.

Definitely heavy Carass and Exhumed vibes. Always loved how the album has such a punky attitude all throughout also. A good chunk of my favorite metal releases have that same attitude in there somewhat. Early Razorback bands tended to have that Carcass/Exhumed influence it's especially noticable in the early work of bands like Ghoul, Engorged and even some of Neil's other stuff with Blood Freak and Lord Gore. Definitely give Blood Freak and Lord Gore a shot if you haven't heard them. Lord Gore dropped a comeback album that blew me away a few years ago and their first two older albums are riff city much like Bringing Back the Bloodshed. Blood Freaks newer stuff has went further into the dm direction and I straight up love their riffing on their older stuff and although the newer stuff is quite different it riffs just as hard. Frightmare has been playing Maryland Deathfest lately so I'm hoping they'll at least start touring again and maybe even drop some new material. I'd probably nut if a new Frightmare got announced lol

discog walk; first complete visit session on the remastered 2000 ed., perfect sound fitting the music style. Such a gentle giant of furious melodic energy. HQ LP. In 1990, old, not aged at all. Classic, it is. After, only one listening jam, haha, happens sometimes, more often for old album than for new album. Quickly becoming one of my favorite metal band. Sweet, my firm favorites bands need intra-competition, they will be served, hihi.

@Combustion, i copied/pasted your list, for those band/album, that i dont know, to download them and dig them. Thanx nice input. Very happy to had listen to your suggestions, worth it.

This is exactly, right here, right now, why i like this site, bluntly sincere, cannot always criticize this site to stay credible. I digress, cheers! m8s.

something about the production makes it lack oomph

Album Rating: 4.0

I can totally understand the cult status of this because it was released in 1990, which is crazy considering the amount of proto-tech death riffing in here. It's mind boggling this was released before Unquestionable Presence, Human or Timeghoul's demos. Thing is, despite all this I think this album lacks some meat at some points, and I recognize I'm not a fan of keys in metal (with a very few exceptions). Also I would have liked a more varied vocal performance. Great album and totally deserving the cult status anyway, because it still delivers the goods and the amount of proto-tech stuff here is crazy. I think Mithras is playing what this band would have evolved into at some point (keys dropped).
