cylinder's top modern bdm & slam
I've been very infatuated with this stuff lately. But now I'm at a point where I've gotten exhausted from all the digging to find new stuff. I need a break. Plus, I've found so many albums I love that I'd like to just spend more time with these and get to know them better. A lot of this kind of stuff that you've seen on my recent lists isn't necessarily stuff I actually like - part of the reason I've been so infatuated is because the music is often so comically dumb (that applies mainly to slam) and that there is an absolutely exorbitant amount of bands all over the world that play these styles, which made me excited to see how many good ones (or at least funny ones) I could find. So a lot of those kinds of albums would find their way onto my lists as well. These, however, are my very favorites. Even the more brain-dead ones (i.e. Cemetery Rapist, Colpocleisis, Toiletectomy, etc. ) I do enjoy unironically - because they're brutal, fun and they groove like mofos. Also, for the purists: forgive my conflating of slam with bdm: there's just so much overlap these days. Plus, when I go on binges of this stuff it's usually a lot of both, so I associate them with each other strongly now. And we have "slamming bdm" now, so that makes the line even blurrier. Also, no free death, because I see that as more of its own thing. Ok, enough chitchat, let's fucking go. |

This is one of the rare times when I prefer the remaster of an album. The original came out in 2012 back when they were just called Paroxysmal. The remaster came out in 2022 and it definitely amps it up a bit. Slightly redone cover art too. |

5s - ok, this album is super fun, but it's probably not actually a 5. I just have a soft spot for this guy. This project was one of the first extreme metal bands that I ever came across back in middle school on YouTube. I was so fascinated by it, especially by the "cricket" vocals (which I'm pretty sure this guy invented), even if I didn't know for sure if I actually liked it or not. Then he dropped off the map for like 10 years, then made an unexpected comeback this year. I follow him on Instagram and he seems like such a cool dude. Much respect for the grind of a one-man band, especially these days when it's super difficult to book shows because of your band name *eye-roll*. Oh, I got to see him live this year too and he tore the place to the fuckin ground. |
