Can someone rec me some catchy, technical death metal albums with a plethora of riffs using pinched harmonics? few things scream death fucking metal more than awesome riffs with excellent pinched harmonics. Thanks in advance


Not the most technical of bands (moreso than a lot of DM, just not full-blown techdeath), but Infected Malignity fucking love themselves some pinch harmonics.

Seconding that and the Iniquity rec.

If you check IM go for the The Malignity Born from Despair album, the RE:BEL ep sucked by comparison.

I'm looking for some melodic death metal bands similar to Darkest Hour, (old) In Flames, and Carcass (Heartwork).

What's the most similar album to "Silence of the Centuries" by Depravity? Must be slow to mid paced, melodic, full of "evil" riffs and bear a little bm inflence just like that ep. Must be european (no US DM revivalists).

Demigod's Slumber Of Sullen Eyes? I think that's as close as it gets, although it's more "in your face" and doesn't bear such a creepy vibe. Desecresy's The Doom Skeptron is also a good take on that kind of sound. The leads on that album are textbook Depravity.

Can't quite get what you mean by BM influence though... :scratch:

The title track has some tremolo riffs that employ that textbook bm guitar tone. That's what I had in mind when I said "bm influence".

Demigod? Too fast. Not really what I'm looking for. What I want is that crrepy atmopshere and speed kinda kills it. IMO, that's the only problem with that EP. I'd like it even more if the predominant pace was similar to the beginning of "Sleepy Ocean". Hell, even the title of that track is evocative.

Incantation - Onward To Golgotha

also missing:

Immolation - Close To A World Below

This. Also, Deathevokation's album would be good, it's melodic and somewhat accessible without losing it's vigour.

Looking for foreboding, raw, and atmospheric death metal that makes use of slow/mid-tempo drumming with tremolo guitars. Best example is Innumerable Forms. I already know Incantation; and bands like Mitochondrion/Antediluvian aren't what I'm looking for.

Did you try the Desecresy album then? It has more of the doomy vibe you're after, although the pace gets faster every now and then. It's really hard for me to come up with something capturing the vibe you're after, and even more with that specific sonic subset that's Depravity's style. I don't think there are that much bands playing like that.

Would Dead Congregation fit the bill?

Well, I'm sure you know them anyway.

That also makes me think of Impetuous Ritual, Father Befouled and Imprecation.

SoF was a bit too "gangsta" for me, but Fetal Decay hit the mark squarely, as did Internal Bleeding! Cheers!

I've also discovered "Misery Index" and really like their sound as well.

From like a week ago, but Enforsaken's The Forever Endeavor is one of the best albums in this vein, and it will remain a mystery to me why it's not talked about in the same breath as all the other classics. There isn't a song on this thing that isn't fucking tremendous. Huge riffs one right after another, amazing solos, catchy hooks, and a singer who actually knows how to put words to death metal. (Just don't get their other album; dunno what happened but there was a nosedive in quality.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRDZXyBUE6E

Gardenian has their moments. Their Soulburner album is somewhere between interesting and awesome. Lots of variety in the songwriting, beware of power ballads with clean singing (I like them; I can see how others might not share my enthusiasm).

Can you advise me something like bloodbath's "nightmares made flesh"? It is fantastic mixture of melody and haviness.

I'm basically looking for Satanic melodeath, kind of like Reinkaos by Dissection I suppose. I'm not looking for something too similar, though. Just something catchy and at least musically better than Reinkaos.

Try this. One of my favourite albums of that style, although it's a bit blackened. ;)

thanks, already knew about Unanimated. Thing is, they aren't a little blackened, they're pretty much straight up black/death metal, Necrophobic-style. Compare the song you recommended me to this
I'm looking for just plain ol' melodeath.

Got you! It was just the first thing to come to my mind, given your description. And the lyrics on that album rule.

As for actual (pure) melodeath with satanic lyrics... hard to say really. Usually melodeath bands have that kind of lyrical involvement when they verge more towards the "blacker edge", if you catch my drift.

Big fan of them, you're right as I do know them. A bit too clean/melodic for what I'm looking for
Quote:
That also makes me think of
Impetuous Ritual,

A little too confined and complex sounding, lacks the rawness/simplicity of IF

Quote:
Father Befouled and Imprecation.


A little too much of Incantation worship. Not atmospheric/raw enough.

Like them all, just as I said, not exactly what I'm after.

Thanks though, for the recs.

Alright, I'll give Innumerable Forms a proper listen and see if it makes me think of anything, but you're probably already much better versed in these kinds of bands than I am.

The new Mammoth Grinder is as good as its cover art aka FUCKING AWESOME, it's more massive and crushing than their debuts and has cool leads. I also heard the new Altars and Temple Nightside, both awesome Australian death/black albums, it's gonna be a good year for extreme metal from down under for sure.

Thirded, it's sounds brilliant! I heard this yesterday and wondered if it had already been posted in the thread or not. A quick search gave me the answer.

Oh wait, full album stream - http://pitchfork.com/advance/167-underworlds/

Temple Nightside I'm eagerly awaiting for... but where did you hear the Altars album? VERY keen to get me hands on a copy when it drops. Also there will be a new Funerary Pit album soon, so more brutal goodness from my beloved shores.

That Mammoth Grinder track sounded disappointing. :( That's the first I've heard from the band, to be fair, but... eh. I didn't really get the feeling that the punk rhythms brought much more to the table than the riffs would have by themselves. The riffs themselves weren't really anything special, either, and I didn't really think it was as massive as Metantoine seemed to describe it as. It wasn't terrible at all, but the quality of the cover art is extremely misleading.

EDIT: Oh, there's a full album stream now. Listening to a couple other tracks, still feeling distinctly underwhelmed.
