Example: Bolt Thrower - World Eater [England, 1989] [FFO: Benediction, Hail of Bullets, Memoriam]

FFO means “For Fans Of” and is not always needed, but can be very helpful in promoting lesser known bands.

Please keep posts related to death metal. Other subgenres (death/doom, melodic death, progressive death, brutal death, black/death) of death metal are welcome as long as the band is primarily death metal. If looking for general metal, please visit the Metal Community.

Old school death metal from Germany. Killer guitar sound, somehow sounds like a chainsaw and a grinder at the same time.

My top track from their latest album. Took me a while to get over their choice to add groove elements when their prodigious drummer passed (r.i.p) but I've come to appreciate their approach to songwriting - brutal and clean and very surgical.

These Danes started out under the name Nakkeknaekker in 2020 and have been touring Europe with growing popularity. Posted and linked is one of the better tracks from their anticipated debut, though all tracks are great, especially the opener.

My top fave track from Allegaeon's first album. Felt like these guys just came out of nowhere. Also love when new bands try new shit mixed in with thier typical genres, like the mid section to this song.

Shaarimoth - Lord of Putrefaction (infosec.pub)

Norwegian blackened death metal dripping with tons of atmosphere. Shaarimoth dwell and thrive in deep obscurity. One of my recent favorites to crop up over the past decade.

Kalmah - Moon of My Nights (infosec.pub)

Finnish melodic death metal favorite of mine. Kalmah have had a very consistent and underground career. Definitely underrated, they got a lot of flak for sounding too close to Children of Bodom. But after their 3rd album Kalmah really struck out in their own heavier style, with lower growls.
