OSDM had so many great bands who fell into obscurity. Post albums and eps that are old school gems. Please refrain from posting albums that most DM fans know of. Descriptions in posts please. Detest - Dorval 
Crystal Age - Far Beyond Horizons 
Jumpin Jesus - The Art of Crucifying

To prevent just listing, how about you try to describe the sound of these albums? |

Demigod - Slumber of Sullen Eyes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh6wB4lQYO4 This album has one hell of a guitar tone. Has a very cryptic atmosphere. Adramelech - Psychostasia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN1LhsiXZ68 Often compared to Demigod. There are some catchy as fuck riffs in here. Fleshcrawl - Descend into the Absurd http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1Wmi6tZ8ZI Has a very strong doom influence. Recommended for fans of Autopsy and diSEMBOWELMENT. Massacra - Final Holocaust http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3epnOR7nklM Death/Thrash. Extremely fast and heavy throughout. |

Detest - Dorval http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6qYcehGQtE Really spacey and technical death metal. Crystal Age - Far Beyond Horizons http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avreO5bP7sc Insane guitar solos and riffs with Star Wars themes. Jumpin Jesus - The Art of Crucifying http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJUPsXL5tyY The only band I posted without sci fi themes. Once again technical as hell guitar riffs with a dual vocal attack alternating with screams and grunts. Yeah I forgot list threads weren't allowed so put a discription and possibly a youtube link with the albums. |

Gutted-"Bleed For Us To Live" Basically Dismember/Entombed covering "Cause of Death". Damn brutal. |

Also, I know this is fairly well known, but I think Incantation's Diabolical Conquest is miles ahead of their praised debut. |

I personally would like to hear more descriptions of these bands rather than just a youtube link. Imapler - Charnel Deity. Sludgy death/thrash from the UK. Only release by this band. Simplistic but I love the crushing riffs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DURdEhHspMU |

Fantastic old school gem that still kicks ass, even if hardly anyone has ever heard it. Crushing, yet melodic without watering down to any mediocre standards. |

Yeah, that old thread held a lot of gold, very worthwhile to go through it again. I believe I posted some good stuff I don't see mentioned that often in the old thread, so people can take a look there. It's getting late now, but I'll try to see if I can contribute better tomorrow. |

Accidental Suicide - Deceased (pretty cheap on ebay for first presses) Convulse - World Without God (reissued by relapse) Baphomet - The Dead Shall Inherit (also reissued recently) Unfortunately the only way to obtain a lot of these albums is to download. |

Psychic Pawn - Decadent Delirium  Malevolent Creation-influenced death metal from Arizona. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVINUx3XuDk Exoto - Carnival of Souls  Extremely catchy Belgian death/thrash. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0ujwIGy7ig Rhadamantys - Labyrinth of Thoughts  I rarely hear people talk about these guys. Epic experimental death metal from Holland. Had members of Creepmime. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7nS-ghdZxE Crucifixion - Desert of Shattered Hopes  Dark occult death metal from Texas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2vSOg0MXso Graveside - Sinful Accession  Excellent technical death metal from Russia. For fans of early Gorguts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVXoRrcxWjg ...and here's a couple that are probably impossible to find as they were only released on cassette in limited quantities, but I'll mention them anyway as I do consider them "gems". Unfortunately I don't have my tape player handy at the moment so I can't upload any samples. Danger Drive - Darkness Comes...  Dark, thrashy death metal from Poland. With better production and CD treatment this album had the potential of becoming a minor classic. I guess it has a special place in my heart because it was my very first taste of Polish death metal when I lived there in the early 90s. Feretrum - From Far Beyond  Completely killer Spanish death metal. Like a darker Left Hand Path meets a more chaotic Blessed are the Sick. As with Danger Drive, the raw production and tape-only release (100 copies!) definitely hurt this band. Maybe I'll post more later... |

Don't think I saw this mentioned in the previous death metal gems thread, so I'll post it here. Chemical Breath - Fatal Exposure 
One of the earliest death metal releases from Belgium and a damn fine one at that. Criminally under-rated stuff. |

Moondark - Demo 1993/The Shadowpath http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqgpRBdsrlg a short lived swedish death metal band with an over-the-top buzzsaw guitar tone, extremely good stuff here Morpheus Descends - Ritual Of Infinity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aao3B0fZRQc formed in 1990 as morpheus, this band is probabbly one of the pioneers of the NYDM scene. the music is raw, fast with a shitload of attitude Crypt Of Kerberos - World Of Myths http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Epfrdom4ngc one of the most technical/experimental bands from the early 90s swedish DM scene Toxodeth - Mysteries About Life and Death http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HhRAyYeEtI one of the greatest bands ever in mexico. the album is extremely technical and raw |

Catacomb (Fra) - In The Maze Of Kadath /In%20the%20Maze%20of%20Kadath/In%20the%20Maze%20of%20Kadath.jpg)
Finnish/Swedish style death metal from France. Good reference points would be Demigod and Gorement. Beheaded (Mlt) - Souldead 
While the band itself is not very obscure, this demo certainly is. Amazing Infester-esque brutal death with some melodic influences, there's even an acoustic guitar solo in the last track! Stargazer/Invocation (Aus) - Harbringer/H.A.S.T.U.R. 
Invocation's side of this split sounds like Blessed Are The Sick -era Morbid Angel mixed with Portal. Good. edit: Absorbed (Esp) - Unreal Overflows 
Fairly technical early death metal from Spain. I can't compare it to any bands right now, but it's awesome. |

Psychostasia is an awesome album as well though. |

Demented Ted - Promises Impure

Massacra-Enjoy the Violence. This is some brutal French old school death metal. Precise & interesting riffs with humorous and harsh vocals. From the song Enjoy the Violence: "Your neighbour is always fucking you around Put your fingers in his eyes and scratch them out You hate the collector and the income tax Keep your money and cut him to pieces with an axe You've had enough of cops and parking tickets Take your gun and riddle them with bullets"

I didn't like Excrement - Scorched. I am listening to it again now through headphones and it sounds better than when I reviewed it from listening to it in laptop speakers but it is still pretty dull. The drums are also not very well done in my opinion. |

Yeah, the drums are pretty bland. Aside from that though I like it; something about the atmosphere I find appealing. I don't know, maybe I just have shitty taste 
Purtenance - Member of Immortal Damnation 
Shamefully underrated. Formerly known as Purtenance Avulsion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEuGiXJ1 ... re=related Sentenced - Shadows of the Past 
Before they turned to shit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlDOsxU7 ... re=related Putrid (Fin) - God Forsaken 
Once again, shamefully underrated Finnish DM. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROPRoTplNTc Funebre (Fin) - Children of the Scorn 
One of the first Finnish DM bands apparently. Disappeared into obscurity after this album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYAE_EkJ ... re=related Sickening Gore - Destructive Reality 
This was this band's only release. Killer DM from Swizerland. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkXoEYBU ... re=related |
