<i>In the Grasp of the Starving Dead</i> is Cryptborn's first release and it's definitely worth a few listens, especially for fans of slower, filthier, doom-tinged OSDM. The emphasis here is on the low, classic Swedish riffs and, while there's nothing new here, it's still an excellent preview into what yet another one of Dark Descents' upcoming old school death metal bands will have to offer in the future.

Here it is, one of the most anticipated OSDM releases of 2011 and it absolutely slays. <i>The Tomb Awaits</i> is chock-full of massive, overwhelming riffs as well as incredible production and mixing (again, by Dan Swanö), and it is every bit as good as their debut, if not better. This is a must have for 2011.

I thank all those who stayed followers during my hiatus as well as those who have joined since. I will do my best to make your wait worthwhile.
<br />
<br />To kick things off, here's the teaser for Entrails' new album, <span style="font-style:italic;">The Tomb Awaits</span>, due out this week and it has me very excited. If this video is anything to go by, it should be an excellent follow-up to <a href="http://deathmetalvault.blogspot.com/2010/06/entrails-tales-from-morgue.html">one of my favorite OSDM albums of 2010</a>. Enjoy.

It just seems to be one of those countries that shows a few promising acts but is so far behind the rest of the world, it could barely register a blip the size of a pigeon on the global death metal radar. Soul Devour is a relatively new death metal trio, having formed in 2006 and released one demo in 2008 before this, their full-length debut. They state their main influences lie mainly in American death metal bands, specifically Massacre, <a href="http://deathmetalvault.blogspot.com/search/label/Monstrosity">Monstrosity</a>, and Morbid Angel which sounds very accurate when you listen to them (especially In Dark Purity-era Monstrosity). <br /><br />Devoured and Daemonoz handle the vocal duties, one performing a low scream (in the vein of Deteriorate) and the other, a slower, deep guttural growl. This combination fits well with the varying tempo of the music which changes from mid to fast paced throughout the album. Even with the apparent revival of old school death metal that's been going on for the last two years or so, there are few new bands that I'd be comfortable putting in the American death metal scene in its hay day and saying that, not only would they survive, but flourish as well. With <i>Apocalyptic Anti-Human Annihilation</i>, Soul Devour proves that they deserve to be one of those select few bands and that they could turn a pigeon-sized blip into one the size of a small plane.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?jmnzrxfiztg">Apocalyptic Anti-Human Annihilation [Full-length](2010)</a></div>Celestiarchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14427667322263293797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560111337124884401.post-43484907152282453982010-06-28T21:10:00.004-04:002010-06-28T21:41:37.270-04:00Severe Torture - Slaughtered (2010)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sQnDcF3Rtb4/TClIQruRUZI/AAAAAAAAAZE/PrQ38U7YUcM/s1600/severetort_slaughtered.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 340px; height: 340px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sQnDcF3Rtb4/TClIQruRUZI/AAAAAAAAAZE/PrQ38U7YUcM/s320/severetort_slaughtered.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487997072379564434" /></a><br /><div align='center'>Band: <a href="http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=240">Severe Torture</a><br />Genre: Brutal/Technical Death Metal<br />Country: Netherlands<br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/severetorture"><img height='75' width='75' img src="http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae313/Celestiarch/myspace-logo-webtreatsetc.png"/ ></a><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Severe+Torture"><img height='75' width='75' img src="http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae313/Celestiarch/lastfm-webtreatsetc.png"/ ></a><br />Severe Torture redeem themselves with <i>Slaughtered</i>, their latest follow-up to 2007's relative disappointment <i>Sworn Vengeance</i>. Brutality isn't exactly the main priority here, as there is a greater amount of focus on melody and solos than their previous albums. Sure, there are a few more conventional Severe Torture tracks like "Unholy Misconception" or "Grave Condition", for example, where the music is about as unrelenting as possible and there isn't a moment's rest. This is, most certainly, a welcome improvement over their last album which didn't provide for too many distinguishable moments and, instead, relied on a technically sound but technically boring assault on the listeners' ears. With more lead guitar fills and more memorable solos, <i>Slaughtered</i> may be Severe Torture's most balanced work yet and one that should prove to be one of the top brutal death metal records come the end of the year.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?0zoz3d3jlnt">Slaughtered [Full-length](2010)</a></div>Celestiarchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14427667322263293797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560111337124884401.post-64452813555736273842010-06-28T16:55:00.005-04:002010-06-29T22:06:19.810-04:00Deteriorot - The Faithless (2010)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sQnDcF3Rtb4/TCkOu6JaR3I/AAAAAAAAAY8/oqOULso6qiM/s1600/intro_800.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 340px; height: 340px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sQnDcF3Rtb4/TCkOu6JaR3I/AAAAAAAAAY8/oqOULso6qiM/s320/intro_800.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487933819973158770" /></a><br /><div align='center'>Band: <a href="http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3622">Deteriorot</a><br />Genre: Old School Death Metal<br />Country: United States<br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/deteriorotofficial"><img height='75' width='75' img src="http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae313/Celestiarch/myspace-logo-webtreatsetc.png"/ ></a><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Deteriorot"><img height='75' width='75' img src="http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae313/Celestiarch/lastfm-webtreatsetc.png"/ ></a><br />Deteriorot is back with their second full-length, <i>The Faithless</i>, which has been a long wait for the cult following the band developed in the 90's and then bolstered with their debut, <i>In Ancient Beliefs</i>, in 2001. While the album does has some killer riffs, both standard, mid-paced death metal and slower, death/doom riffs, I still have the same problem with this album as I did with their last: the vocals. Don't get me wrong, I've always had a great amount of respect for Zavaleta as a guitarist, but the vocals are very similar to that of the half-clean, half-growled, not-quite-deep-enough style of Dave Ingram-era Benediction which is one I've just never found particularly appealing. Personal gripes aside though, <i>The Faithless</i> is well worth more than a few listens and proves that, even after eight plus years of inactivity, Deteriorot can still get it done. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ja4yq3kjznt">The Faithless [Full-length](2010)</a></div>Celestiarchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14427667322263293797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560111337124884401.post-13256207605852758292010-06-27T18:38:00.003-04:002010-06-27T19:29:11.816-04:00Chronicle of Tyrants - Nemesis MMIV (2004)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sQnDcF3Rtb4/TCfT2srxd6I/AAAAAAAAAY0/5Zl0FACF568/s1600/Chronicle+Of+Tyrants+-+Nemesis+MMIV+(Front).jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sQnDcF3Rtb4/TCfT2srxd6I/AAAAAAAAAY0/5Zl0FACF568/s320/Chronicle+Of+Tyrants+-+Nemesis+MMIV+(Front).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487587607635392418" /></a><br /><div align='center'>Band: <a href="http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=15631">Chronicle of Tyrants</a><br />Genre: Melodic Death Metal<br />Country: Germany<br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/chronicleoftyrants"><img height='75' width='75' img src="http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae313/Celestiarch/myspace-logo-webtreatsetc.png"/ ></a><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Chronicle+Of+Tyrants"><img height='75' width='75' img src="http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae313/Celestiarch/lastfm-webtreatsetc.png"/ ></a><br />It's rare to see a modern melodic "death metal" band actually pay homage to one of their supposed influences like Carcass or At the Gates without castrating the sound and making metalcore in the process. While telling them that their music, in no way, reflects what the original bands of the Gothenburg and Swedish death metal scenes brought to the table but, on the contrary, makes a mockery of them, might provoke a look of utter disbelief, there is, or was, at least one band out there that hadn't misplaced their sense of modern musical interpretation: Chronicle of Tyrants. Having never been signed and splitting up after releasing just one full-length, Chronicle of Tyrants isn't exactly a well-known name in the melodic death metal community but it should be. Putting the death metal back in melodic death metal, Chronicle of Tyrants does justice to many bands like Hypocrisy and Dismember, to name a few, by combining their subtle melody and relentless brutality all in one album. In every sense, <i>Nemesis MMIV</i> is a vastly overlooked, melodic death metal diamond on the rough.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?nnmnymwnbzn">Nemesis MMIV [Full-length](2004)</a></div>Celestiarchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14427667322263293797noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560111337124884401.post-79539823776961522002010-06-27T18:16:00.005-04:002010-06-27T19:31:25.224-04:00Svarttjern - Misanthropic Path of Madness (2009)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sQnDcF3Rtb4/TCfPg1I6ZrI/AAAAAAAAAYs/4aU9T186BWU/s1600/223052.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 340px; height: 340px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sQnDcF3Rtb4/TCfPg1I6ZrI/AAAAAAAAAYs/4aU9T186BWU/s320/223052.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487582833901463218" /></a><br /><div align='center'>Band: <a href="http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=96784">Svarttjern</a><br />Genre: Black/Death Metal<br />Country: Norway<br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/svarttjern"><img height='75' width='75' img src="http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae313/Celestiarch/myspace-logo-webtreatsetc.png"/ ></a><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Svarttjern"><img height='75' width='75' img src="http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae313/Celestiarch/lastfm-webtreatsetc.png"/ ></a><br />Svarttjern succeeds where so many other bands fail: weaving death metal into a true Norwegian black metal sound without watering down the two and becoming pedestrian. With one of the best vocalists in all of black metal (HansFyrste of Ragnarok), Svarttjern is evil with balls. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?zu0n3cuygbq">Misanthropic Path of Madness [Full-length](2009)</a></div>Celestiarchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14427667322263293797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560111337124884401.post-61691035058076511562010-06-27T12:49:00.005-04:002010-06-28T02:21:16.797-04:00Interment/Funebrarum - Conjuration of the Sepulchral (2007)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sQnDcF3Rtb4/TCeBaERjSLI/AAAAAAAAAYc/5U1QsGpF3Fg/s1600/Funebrarum+-+Conjuration+of+the+Sepulchral.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 340px; height: 340px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sQnDcF3Rtb4/TCeBaERjSLI/AAAAAAAAAYc/5U1QsGpF3Fg/s320/Funebrarum+-+Conjuration+of+the+Sepulchral.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487496955798177970" /></a><br /><div align='center'>Band: <a href="http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=12478">Interment</a><br />Genre: Old School Death Metal<br />Country: Sweden<br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/intermenthorde"><img height='75' width='75' img src="http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae313/Celestiarch/myspace-logo-webtreatsetc.png"/ ></a><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Interment"><img height='75' width='75' img src="http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae313/Celestiarch/lastfm-webtreatsetc.png"/ ></a><br /><br />Band: <a href="http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=11723">Funebrarum</a><br />Genre: Old School Death Metal<br />Country: United States<br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/funebrarum"><img height='75' width='75' img src="http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae313/Celestiarch/myspace-logo-webtreatsetc.png"/ ></a><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Funebrarum"><img height='75' width='75' img src="http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae313/Celestiarch/lastfm-webtreatsetc.png"/ ></a><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mtvy3zl4mmi">Conjuration of the Sepulchral [Split](2007)</a></div>Celestiarchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14427667322263293797noreply@blogger.com0
