So I'm a little out of the loop on metal right now, but I know that as far as UKBM goes Winterfylleth seem to be "big time" at the moment. However, Darkness is one of my favourite UKBM "acts", I've worked with him previously (re-releasing his As The Last Star Falls From Heaven opus) and he is a close friend and colleague. He has remixed and remastered his first 3 demos which are very highly regarded within the UGBM community. I've started uploading them to YT as they're long out of print and he's happy for me to do so.

Beast of Misanthropy up at the moment, two more demos will be up at some point and As The Last Star... also.

Two more exclusive remixed Darkness demos now up, Destruction Of Earth and Eternal Darkness.

Been obsessed with the Canadian band Chapel who do awesome Black Speed Metal in the vein of Tank and Venom meets early era Bathory. Seax is also in the same boat but with a rawer edge and cleaner, NWOBHM styled vocals. If you like these types of "worship bands" ala Midnight and the like then you should definitely check these 2 albums out...





...and listening to this right now:

[martialgodmask]

That Seax is good!

[jesusfaggotchrist]

ill have to check those out ryan. as for the bestial/war stuff, i think you're alone on that as i love the stuff

[bitewerksMTB]

Chapel is pretty good but I wish there was a band with a similiar style, but a little grittier, & more serious, violent lyrics.

[RyanWreck]

You listened to Deathhammer's "Onward to the Pits" yet? Less Speed Metal more Thrash with more energy and a very raw, late 80's German feel to it. The lyrical content isn't really "serious" but they aren't talking about girls, beer and leather like Chapel.

[jesusfaggotchrist]

that Chapel is really good, thanks Ryan. on the slightly more modern bent, I'll throw Ravencult out there.

Deathhammer sounds familiar but I do not believe I have given them a listen. Will check it out.

Best metal, for me, this year is the Teitanblood mcd. Hope he gets a full length going next year.

[jesusfaggotchrist]

Teitanblood better put something new next year

[RyanWreck]

I need to hear more Teitanblood. I had "Seven Chalices" and sold it, it was good but not something that I personally had no reason to own it when my record player broke since I didn't listen to it all that much. I still have yet to even hear the entire track "Purging Tongues" which I should probably do since everyone says how amazing it is.

[jesusfaggotchrist]

Seven Chalices is my bible to which all Incantation-esque black/death is measured by. of all, only Embrace Of Thorns' two full lengths stack up. Diocletian could be considered, but to me they're more Blasphemy than Incantation.

[RyanWreck]

Seven Chalices is my bible to which all Incantation-esque black/death is measured by.

How about Vasaeleth - "Crypt Born & Tethered to Ruin"? Now that is some solid Incantation worship done right. And second to that, for me, would be Disma.

I don't listen to a whole lot of Death Metal outside of the old Thrash stuff that started the first wave of Death Metal, albums like "Scream Bloody Gore", "Morbid Visions" and "Malleus Maleficarum" are easily some of the best Metal albums ever recorded in the history of the genre. I also have a soft spot for Deathpunk stuff like the first Bolt Thrower album and Slaughter - "Strappado". Bands like Stormcrow, Sanctum and the amazing War Master - "Pyramid of the Necropolis" album, are luckily still carrying that flag, that stuff is too good and too rare to die.

I find very little metal (any genre) that I like, or that is worth a second listen, and I find Seven Chalices to be brilliant.  One of the best metal albums of that first decade.  The best part is that it continues to resonate; a true rarity.

If you like Bolt Thrower influenced metal and/or crust, Limb from Limb - Death. Famine. Plague. (2007) is top shelf.  The 7" that followed wasn't in the same league.  If you heard that first and thought little of them, go back to the album.  Not Bolt Throwerish, but the Instinct of Survival - North to Nowhere (2009) is solid, and solidly heavy, crust.
