A lot of Nile and Vektor recently man, been a very riffy week!



How about you pal?

Album Rating: 4.5

older Nile rules, but i haven't heard his last few albums. i have yet to check out Vektor, i'm extremely suspicious of how high the avgs are for their three albums for a modern thrash band lol.



been listening to death metal and some metalcore, gorguts from wisdom to hate, dismember, breathing process, horse the band, and i usually do a song shuffle once a day on my ipod. been checking out stuff from all the dm lists lately

Duuuuuuudeeee jam Those Whom the Gods Detest by Nile, so chunky!



Vektor are essential thrash dude, have some sweet BM and prog metal vibes going for them and the riffs are OVER 9000!!!!



HORSE the Band dude yesssss, that's a righteous jam! Gorguts should be called GOATguts, they're the best.

Suspicious? You should be excited.

Album Rating: 4.5

i just tend to not trust ratings, sometimes i have weird opinions about things most people love with some genres, but i'm not as picky with metal because metal is just awesome. i've jammed a bit of Those Whom the Gods Detest, i'm not sure if i'm as down with it as Annihilation of the Wicked but it still sounds good. Gorguts are def the goat.

Album Rating: 4.5

Gorguts are indeed the goat.



Check Vektor, though. Worst that happens is that you end up disliking it and you lose your friends, family, job, home, and respect from your peers as a result.

Guys, how awesome is Cold Hate, Warm Blood? m/

Album Rating: 4.0

Some of their best riffs agreed.

Album Rating: 4.0

Cold Hate, Warm Blood is the best. Y'all ever jam None So Live? One of my favorite live albums

Album Rating: 4.5

None So Vile is arguably the best dm album of all time



Cold Hate, Warm Blood is the shiiiittttttt m/ m/ m/

Album Rating: 3.5

This almost sounds like a completely different genre to me (compared with other DM I've heard), is it just 'brutal DM' with vox that don't really sound DM?



Yes I'm a peasant, just trying to put my finger on it, this almost like grind levels of insanity, except I actually like it.

There's just something in that Canadian water. Cryptopsy are a technical death metal band, but don't fall into the same category of modern day tech death IMO. They are masters of that controlled chaos sound

Album Rating: 4.5

I don't know what the specific subgenre is but yeah it is really damn unique. And agreed - I'm not a big grindcore guy at all, but I like those sprinkled little hints of grind in Cryptopsy.

Album Rating: 3.5

Unique? Oh man, was hoping there was more stuff like this.

Here's some other killer tech death bands from Montreal



Maybe you'll dig Unhuman

Have you heard Quo Vadis - Defiant Imagination

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIYQYEhY0q0

Album Rating: 3.5

Are Nile a different beast then? Brutal/technical/respected (or so I’ve heard).



Edit: thanks, will add them to my list

Nile is crap

Gotta agree with Unhuman, they are super over the top insane. Quo Vadis is sweet catchy and melodic tech death.

And don't forget to add Gorod and Augury to that list.

Album Rating: 4.0

Oh yeah man, Augury are from Montreal too. What a scene. I haven't jammed Fragmentary Evidence in a while. Always found them a bit more atmospheric than their peers

New Augury album coming soon

Ugh that album is pretty much a modern dm classic for me. Super technical, super prog, super atmospheric...

And how could I forget the bands Hieronymus Bosch and First Fragment

"New Augury album coming soon"

Omg I knooooow, I'm so excited. Been waiting for 9 years.
