Death - Human


I'm just gonna keep ridin' this wave. And so are you. Download this now.

Human.
Gridlink - Amber Gray


I think I posted this a couple years ago, but I'm gonna repost it because the new album is coming out soon and all you dorks need to get acquainted. Short and furious just like the guys who played it.

Incantation - Upon The Throne Of Apocalypse



Incantation has a sound so deep and dark it can be hard for the uninitiated to decipher. It took me a couple listens, but I think I decided this is my favorite Incantation album. This record is rougher, nastier, heavier, and just stronger than Mortal Throne of the Nazarene and has everything I love about the New York death metal sound.

Devoured Death
Bolt Thrower - The IVth Crusade


This is by far my favorite Bolt Thrower album, and probably my favorite death metal album of all time. It's 1992 vintage and impossibly thick sound will make you forget there aren't any orcs with machine guns on the cover this time. Turn it up.

Where next to conquer?
Cretin - Freakery


This band does not get enough attention. Not nearly enough. Being one of the first grindcore bands I actively listened to, they definitely made a big impact on my musical tastes today. Also of note, I hear one of the dudes in the band is no longer a dude. Makes you wonder when you consider songs like Daddy's Little Girl.

I PLAN TO USE THE MONEY FOR HIS SEX CHANGE OPERATION.

Zoroaster - Matador


By far my favorite record from these guys. A truly psychedelic sludge voyage, enjoyable both as a whole and in pieces.

Matador
Morbid Angel - Domination


This is my favorite Morbid Angel album. It's great.

WHERE THE SLIME LIVESSSS.
Suffocation - Human Waste


Suffocation's first EP, a true monstrosity. The mix here is FAR superior, as some of the songs were issued on later releases. I love everything this band has done, but Human Waste is 24 minutes of absolute brutality, a word that gets thrown around way too much.

CATATONIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGHGHGGHGHGG
Fade To Bluegrass: The Bluegrass Tribute to Metallica


I love Metallica and I don't care who knows. Been listening to them since my age was in the single digits and I love finding goofy releases like this.

YEEEHAWWWWW!

Crowbar - Sever The Wicked Hand


WHAT IS BEST IN LIFE?
LISTENING TO CROWBAR AND THE LAMENTATIONS OF MY WIFE.

LET'S SEVER THIS SHIT.

Sodom - In War And Pieces


The newest release from everyone's favorite Teutonic thrashers. I'll probably post a few more gems from their discography later on. THRASH INSANE OR DIE IN PAIN!!!

BLASPHEMAH!

Cannabis Corpse - Tube Of The Resonated


I legitimately love this band. Awesome death metal that just happens to have a ridiculous name and lyrical content almost exclusively based around marijuana. Regardless of how you may feel about the perceived gimmicky nature of the band, awesome shred lies within your grasp.

Forbidden Plants
The Toll - The Toll


The Toll is the solo project of Will Killingsworth of Vaccine, Ampere, Orchid, etc. It's quite a departure though as The Toll is a giant, ugly wall of sound. Really fuzzed out noisy sludgy stuff that tends to come off as pretty contrived. The record was released through Youth Attack, so it definitely has that vibe to it. Not really sure if it's worth posting this or not, listen in if you're bored.

FRRRRRT.

EDIT: I changed my mind. After finishing the entire thing, this album is totally bullshit.
Nothing good or memorable came out this year. Listen to this instead.
Maybe I'll post more often in 2011, but I wouldn't count on it.

Interment - Into The Crypts Of Blasphemy


Death metal from Sweden! Grimey old school sound, it's like the 1990's are back from the grave. One of my favorite death metal albums of 2010.
