Kind of a long shot, and not really much doom in it, but how about stuff like Hypocrisy's The Fourth Dimension? Like, early Depresy (first EP) or Amorbital for that kind of style. Probably a bit shy from what you're after though...

Hypocrisy is nice but Depresy is probably closer imo. I'd recommend Intestine Baalism, Holymarsh, Hooded Menace, and Vehemence. They all have that darker melodic sound than most of the melodeath bands produced without having it go into black metal.

I would suggest:
early Cemetary (An evil shade of grey to a lesser extent, Godless beauty and Black vanity)
early Tiamat (Astral sleep, Clouds)
early Amorphis (Tales from.., Black winter day)
and of course Desultory (Bitterness, but you can also try Into eternity and Counting our scars)

Gorement is very hard to match in style, though. Great choice.

I've been craving new technical death metal. What I've been wanting is possibly the style of Cynic's Focus mixed with Obscura's last two albums, with a strong progressive bent towards longer and more "epic" songs as well as possibly some unconventional instrumentation or song structures. That may be a little too specific, so feel free to give suggestions even if they don't totally match up.

Yeah, I got them. They're close, but a little lacking riff-wise, imo. Cynic's riff style is closer to what I'm wanting.

It's not an easy request when you put it like that though. The thing that's killing me is the epic/lengthy compositions, which makes me have only another fitting request in the form of Augury's second album. But if you found The Aura to be lacking I think the sentiment will be the same here.

Actually it's sounding pretty solid just judging by the first song I heard, I'll give it a thorough listen later. Not wild about the vocals, but they're usually secondary for me anyway. Thanks for the rec.

A shot in the dark here, but how about 'Inanimate Existence - Liberation Through Hearing'?

I am looking for dark, murky death metal with a sound similar to Drawn And Quartered on Return Of The Black Death

That is quite melodic and brutal with a crushing production

A tall order. Azarath is dark, brutal and has crushing production, and something like Destroying Divinity delivers more melodies with less of that deranged, cruel atmosphere. I consider that band, at their best, to be on par with Incantantation and the like, so it's really difficult to find anything as good.

Thanks, will check those 2 out. This album is just brutal without actually being brutal :lol: I'll get back to you soon

Yeah, if you mean that the music can be blindingly savage without having any characteristics of brutal death metal the subgenre, I definitely agree. Drawn And Quartered is considerably more brutal than most bands in that subgenre, even.

I am not sure if this is the appropriate thread, but the band I am infatuated with is tagged as progressive death metal.

I recently came across a band called Lascaille's Shroud. I have been spinning it non-stop and am looking for anything similar to it. The production reminds me a lot of Bound by Entrails last album, and it is very charming. Most of my friends pointed at Obscura, The Faceless, Augury, Scar Symmetry, Devin Townsend, Neuraxis, Scarve, and Vektor but I know all of these bands. I guess it is the production and melodies I am after.

Here is an example:

Azarath wasn't that impressive to these ears but Destroying Divinity was awesome. Thanks a lot Ilwyhan

Looking for unknow melodic death gems from the 90's like Eucharist, Unanimated... feel free to post more recent stuff since it has that old-school sound, without the clean production from nowadays.

I don't know if they're gems or particularly unknown either, but I'll just mention these here since you didn't.

Gates of Ishtar, Sacrilege (GBG), Julie Laughs Nomore.

...A Canorous Quintet?

Julie Laughs Nomore? The band's name is just as unique as their music. Nice one. The others are not really unknow, specialy Gates of Ishtar.

Just happened across the Malthusian EP MMXIII yesterday, thought people in here might enjoy a listen if they hadn't heard it yet:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0miw_zYniIw

Pretty nice swirling, cavernous death metal with great production stylings. Not the best DM EP in recent memory, but worth a listen for sure, and very promising toward future material.

I'm looking for a band that has fast and medium-fast thrash-y riffs like Slayer, but with vocals that are death growled and not shouted.

A good deaththrash band, if you will.

Imagine this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obP0m3zbHdY

But not a direct cover of Slayer and not deathcore.

I have to add another general recommendation for Depresy - despite a small catalog, they put out some of the best melodic death of all time. Hooded Menace is good stuff, but I wouldn't say they're "melodic" so much as Autopsy/Coffins style death/doom.

Listening to Augury's 'Fragmentary Evidence" right now, and while I'm not entirely sold on the clean vox (there are some really cheesy moments, like the female singer at the end of "Brimstone Landscapes") otherwise I find it to be pretty solid tech/prog/melo-death.

Which are the best 10 bands of Brutal Death Metal? Ive never listen to this style, i like things like Immolation, Incantation, Deicide, Vital Remains, Aborted but i think that exept Aborted all the other bands are just some of the best bands of regular Death Metal. Sorry for my bad english, is not my country's language.

I'd recommend Katalepsy's 2013 album Autopsychosis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JFum1Gzu8E - I'm not the biggest fan of brutal death metal by any means, but I thought this album was pretty damn good.

Also Guttural Secrete's 2013 album, 'Nourishing the Spoil.' Heavy as a half-decomposed elephant carcass, but surprisingly melodic.

I'm looking for more shit like Pestilence "Spheres". Especially something as just downright groovy as it haha I swear it's probably one of the greatest death metal albums I've listened to in a while.

Katalepsy, Defeated Sanity, Pathology (earlier stuff), Abominable Putridity, Suffocation all get a "seconded" from me, and I'd add to those Goratory and Abnormality (the latter with some of the best female death growls ever).

I am looking for a band with the style of Inferni. I love the melodicness of the album and the whole feeling of it. I am also looking for vocals that aren't very hard to understand.


I am also looking for some brutal (?) death such as War Master or Disfigurement.

I listened to Jungle Rot's Dead and Buried the other day and noticed that it wasn't dominated by tremolo picking as much as other DM bands. While there are tremolo picked passages throughout the album it is not at the forefront of the band's sound. Can you guys recommend me any other death metal bands with minimal use of tremolo picking?

witheredheath94: Tremolo riffs are particularly scarce in slam death metal, meaning bands that refined Devourment's style of brutal death metal to its logical limits. You can recognise slam bands from the fact that their names are taken from medical books 75% of the time, and album names are absurd gore nonsense. Every album starts with a 30-60 seconds long sample, and the remaining 27 minutes of the running time comprises extremely monochromatic death metal with high-pitched snare drums, extremely low death growls and highly scooped solid state distortion guitars.

Check out bands like Epicardiectomy, Vulvectomy and Cephalotripsy.

I'm looking for death metal bands with very warm guitar tones. The opposite of Nile, but also not muddy like mid-era Morbid Angel, and also not harsh like Incantation. Something like Immolation's Harnessing Ruin:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo8YBu92vxE

There are better examples in black metal, like Grand Belial's Key:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udhPiAkcrU0
