It's another death metal month for MMMM, and this time we are going to take a look at one of those Incantation clones that seem to be everywhere these days. Not that I'm really complaining, for …

Mid-month Metal Masterpiece 69: Vulcano – Bloody Vengeance (1986)
September 15, 2015
South American black/thrash/death is known for a few things. The music is incredibly fast and raw, the drumming sounds like someone kicked the drum kit down a flight of stairs, and, overall, it's about as nasty …
I've been going around lately saying that about the only death metal I listen to any more is Incantation and the legion of bands they influenced with their focus on dark, evil, atmosphere over, like, …
Mid-month Metal Masterpiece 60: Hic Iacet – Hedonist of the Death
December 15, 2014

It should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with my taste in black metal that I rather love Impetigo's Horror of the Zombies. It is a type of death metal that eschews technicality for …
Mid-month Metal Masterpiece 43: Death – Leprosy (1988)
September 15, 2013
I've been going around for a while saying that I'm really not all that into death metal anymore. And, I don't know, maybe some of that is me preferring melody in a largely atonal genre, …
Immolation was always kind of an oddball band. They were somewhere in between brutal death metal and a more melodic style that focused on weird guitar harmonies and slower mid-paced sections. Gorguts would probably be …
