Double post but their new tour is sit down only so I won’t be seeing them. Fucking lame
I’ve only heard ONWARD TO GOLGOTHA and even though i dont enjoy suffocating / brutal dm that much, i liked a lot (along with Immolation CLOSER TO A WORLD BELOW)
I promised a Power / Prog roundup, but because it’s my bday, this one is for my favorite type of metal: Tech Thrash / Death:
**
CORONER - NO MORE COLOR**
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vckfZBVxByA
This fucking rips. Coming from the neoclasical inspired PUNISHMENT FOR DECADENCE and before the progressive (and one of my fav albums ever) MENTAL VORTEX, NO MORE COLOR is the right balance between sheer thrashing and technicality.
DEATH - INDIVIDUAL THOUGHT PATTERNS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ugv42VD73QQ&list=PL3829E781BF24508F
My favorite DEATH album. So techy with zero wankery (songs clock at 4 minutes MAX) plus a top notch lineup (Gene “The atomic clock” Hogan on drums, BASS GOD Steve DiGiorgio on bass) make this an essential. Dont forget Chuck’s (RIP) riffing and tremendous lyrics.
OBLIVEON - FROM THIS DAY FORWARD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lChCYQlxOjI
This caught me by surprise like two years ago… tremendous bass, tremendous vocals and production, terrific album.
TOXIK - THINK THIS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTUAU8oMUPI
A hidden gem with plenty of bass, catchy vocals, social inspired lyrics.
ANACRUSIS - MANIC IMPRESSIONS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AJB-lFlmJ4
Very very very good melodic thrash with a lot of well infused technicality. Ken Nardi vocal range makes this quite the experience.
WATCHTOWER - CONTROL AND RESISTANCE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHflQYvZvsg
WARNING: The vocals are horrendous. THE ORIGINAL tech band delivers their best album, very very very fucking good, dont miss it.
ARTILLERY - BY INHERITANCE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5nl4P4CUkI
Yet another hidden gem, this time from Denmark. Very eastern influenced, very awesome.
That’s all for now, have to same some for the next roundup.
Happy (late) Metal Birthday bro.

Edit

[/quote]Voyager is awesome. I saw them last year and even though they were the opening band for Rhapsody they stole the show.
I really enjoy Nunslaughter’s old school death metal sound
Yea, Nunslaughter are pretty cool.

Rhadamanthys, from their Debut album Midnight Skies (2014), Progressive Symphonic Black Metal
Fucking Nocturnal Rites. Why are they currently MIA and not making an album? They’ve just been sitting in limbo since 2007.
It has been yeaars since i heard of them, i actually forgot that they existed
I found one of my old cds from them :rock:
This was one of my fav songs of it
Man I started listening to Obzen again, don’t know what the fuck was wrong with me when I was younger to just let this album fly over my head
