I have not heard good stuff like this since the early 90's. Even better than the best 1990 classics, such as Obituary Cause of Death, Morgoth Eternal Fall, Death Spiritual Healing, Morbid Angel Altars of Madness.Krisiun Black Force DomainNecrophobic DarksideNecrot MortalNecrot Lifeless BirthObituary World DemiseObituary Cause of DeathObituary Slowly We RotObituary The End CompleteOrigin OmnipresentOrigin ChaosmosIn line with all the other albums from one of my favorite bands. It strikes me as very similar in sound to 2014's Omnipresent, which is my favorite album from Origin. This one is a solid 4, but I am giving it a 5 because it is simply disgusting to see rock bands like Skin Tension and Kardashev all the way up at the top of the list, while this solid death metal album is all the way down at the bottom.Ossuarium Living TombPsycroptic Ob(Servant)Psycroptic The Watcher of AllSanguisugabogg Tortured WholeSentenced Shadows Of The PastSuffering Hour In Passing AscensionSuffering Hour The Cyclic ReckoningSuffocation Human WasteSuffocation Pierced From WithinSuppression The Sorrow Of Soul Through Flesh4.5 superbCreeping Death Boundless DomainBest album of 2023. Finally a death metal album on this Sputnik Death Metal list. Can you believe it?Cryptopsy None So VileDevourment Obscene MajestyDischordia TriptychIncantation Onward to GolgothaKrisiun Mortem SolisIt's going to be hard to top the classic Black Force Domain, but Krisiun is reliably consistent and Mortem Solis is very much in line with the rest of its excellent discography. Why change a recipe that works? This should overtake Imperial Triumphant's Spirit of Ecstasy as the best Death Metal album of 2022 so far. Get that Kenny G metal out of there!Marduk Panzer Division MardukPortal VexovoidCurtain is possibly the coolest music video I have ever seen. The video is very similar in style to Phil Tippet's "Mad God" movie. All the other Vexovoid songs are very catchy and very dissonant at the same time... This album is absolutely amazing.Undergang Døden læger alle sårThis is soooo heavy. Very low, slow beats with monotone ultra deep death growls (somewhat similar to Demilich's legendary vocals). Just the way I like it.Wormed Krighsu4.0 excellentAbominable Putridity The Anomalies Of Artificial OriginAdramelech PsychostasiaArtificial Brain Artificial BrainBenighted IdentisickCosmic Putrefaction Crepuscular Dirge for the Blessed OnesCryptic Shift Visitations from EnceladusDust Bolt Trapped in ChaosGruesome Twisted PrayersGruesome Fragments of PsycheImmolation Acts of GodInhuman Condition FearsickExcellent classic death/thrash with awesome production and extremely talented members in this underated band. Super Terry Butler keeping Death alive while Jeramie Kling chants with Vader-like vocals. Classic formula with a fresh sound. "Fencewalker" and "King Con" left me speechless. Inhuman Condition is basically a continuation of Massacre.Napalm Death Resentment is Always Seismic...Nile The Underworld Awaits Us AllObituary Dying Of EverythingI have been listening to Obituary for over 3 decades, so obviously I wasn't going to let this one pass. I am happy to see that they are still true to their roots and haven't tried to "progress" like everyone else by adding clean vocals and soft instrumentals everywhere. There is nothing cutting edge here, but it works and it is quite good. In fact, this album seems better than most of their recent works. Happy to see Terry Butler on bass! Not an instant classic like Slowly We Rot or Cause of Death, but still, massive respect to Obituary.Pyrexia Sermon of MockerySchizogen Spawn of Almighty EssenceVery solid death metal Ukranian release that really impresses without having to resort to any gimmicks. Technically it sounds very similar to Necrophagist, but with much lower tones and much less happier mood than say "Onset of Putrefaction."The Berzerker Dissimulate3.5 greatDemilich NespitheGruesome Dimensions Of HorrorOrigin AntithesisOrigin Unparalleled UniversePortal ION3.0 goodDruid Lord Relics of the DeadAside from a couple of filler tracks, like "Nightside Conjuring" and "Ethereal Decay" the overall album is OK if you are into ultra slow, doomy death... very similar to Ossuarium and Tomb Mold, but not as good.Esoctrilihum Consecration of the Spiritus FleshHath All That Was PromisedNAILS You Will Never Be One Of UsPortal AvowVerberis Adumbration of the Veiled LogosVery slow and melodic metal with repetitive riffs. Reminds me very much of Watain, but just less flamboyant and much slower overall. It's an accessible black metal sound which should appeal to a wider audience, but it is not bad.2.5 averageBlood Incantation Absolute ElsewhereDecapitated Cancer CultureDeicide Banished By SinImperial Triumphant Spirit of EcstasySonum Visceral Void EntropyA bit gimmicky for my taste. The intros have violins, electronic organs, trombones, and trumpets to set the "evil" mood. But, evil doesn't last very long and already on track #2 it becomes clean vocals. By the time it gets to song 8, "Desolation," it has already morphed into an instrumental love song. What happened?2.0 poorAllegaeon DamnumHooded Menace Lachrymose Monuments of ObscurationPsycroptic Divine CouncilPsycroptic has always been a mixed bag for me. While Ob(servant) is one of my favorite albums, the rest of their discography is really just OK. This latest one makes overuse of choir, which ruins the whole thing for me. It seems like a fusion of church music and death metal at times. Wormrot Hiss1.5 very poorUlcerate Cutting the Throat of God1.0 awfulAeternam Heir of the Rising SunVery sad to see melodic alternative rock at the top of the Death Metal charts again. Sounds like the Friends TV show's intro song, but with an occasional church choir intro.
