Imagine a deathcore band with lots of melody, an awesome vocalist (it has pig squeals too, but not all the time) and great humor (read the song titles). If you wanna listen to something like that, click to download.
So when this album was offered to me the description was "now that soilwork is dead, Darkane can take the throne!". This isn't soilwork though, most consider them in the "NWOSDM" (new wave of swedish death metal, fuck yeah acronyms)... however on this album they've learned more towards a thrash sound, perhaps a tad more similar to 'The Haunted'.
Vocal stylings are fast yelling. Less melodic than Soilwork, but hey maybe that's a plus for you. Instrumentation wise Darkane (on this album at least) seems dedicated to the chuggity chugga thunka thunk beat the shit outta out instruments stuff. That's the most professional explanation you will ever hear from me.
PS: did i mention this has voice overs? Yeeeeeeeeah.. about that.
I'll find a clean version ASAP.
First off, how many of you were actually born before 1992? Fine. Next, for the new guys posting on this god-forsaken blog. Write more, have some pride in what you post for fucks sake, don't just "genre, label, whine, dump". Give me a reason to give a shit.
You daft metal 'fa(ggots)ns' don't download shit because you see a name that sounds tempting and because its posted here (okay fine, you do cuz you trust us assholes to only let you care about awesomeness). We SELL it.
So, hellchild, the only way about 3/4 of you will recall them is cuz you have the split they did with converge. Let's look outside that, Hellchild, they bring the "oomph" that you do not commonly throw in when you think hardcore. They have the balls, the growl, the 'i don't care if you don't give a fuck, we're doing this cuz we can' mentality that makes music of this declaration great. If this isn't your cup of tea, fine. You took the maybe 11 minutes to snag this and you took the three to attempt to listen. Congrats.
id_ who may be a lil drunk, out.
oh, and this:
Hellchild are Japan's maestros of heavy core. Growling death metal vocals, guitars that spurt anvil heavy riffs, and rhythms that march you to hell are Hellchild's calling card. Although the individual elements that make up this din are commonplace, the way in which Hellchild have combined them is very unique. They are too fast to be just sludge, to slow and heavy to be just hardcore, and to groovin' to be just metal. Instead they are some hybrid that is greater than the sum of its parts. One thing is sure, if you're looking for originality, Hellchild is the one you need. The subtile balance between aggressivity and melody gives Hellchild an unique personality.
Not much to say here. Everyone knows Machine Head, and everyone knows that they're fucking great. Enjoy!

Really awesome swedish brutal death metal.
This band contains members of Suffocation, Dying Fetus, Decrepit Birth and Misery Index.
Deathcore.
This band is one of my all times favourites. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get their other full-length CD, so if you're the owner of it and would like to share it, please contact me or just write a comment and it would be highly appreciated. Anyway, this is a deathcore band from the USA and you can easily get very addicted to it. I heard this album 6 hours in a row when I got it, and has not yet been tired of it. They got breakdowns which can shatter everything, amazing riffs and the growls are just insane. Nothing can describe this, so I suggest you just down it and give it your own opinion. Enjoy.
Guys, check this awesome album out. They're playing catchy thrash/groove. However, they're not too popular, so i hope a lot of people will download and listen to it as much as they can.
One of the best slam death albums i've ever heard.
Very good old school death from the Netherlands.
It's deathcore, with electronic elements. Don't expect something like wecamewithbrokenteeth, it's much better.
Yes, that type of music exists - and I like it! I will introduce to you 3 band in this post. They are pretty new, only with EPs/demos.
Demo (2006)
In My Memory EP (2007)
The Intelligent Redesign EP (2007)
Brutal death from Slovakia, with frog-like vocals. Enjoy.
"Side project of Therion members who wanted to create a fresh and challenging combination of basically old death and violent thrash metal influences, but also with a drop of modern black metal."
"The concept of this album tells about the 4 Biblical Riders of the Apocalypse:
War, Plague, Starvation & Death who are all the mightiest of the destructive
Gods. The first part of the album observes the various atrocities by mankind,
and the punishments (plagues, earthquakes, wars...) by the Gods who tried to
redeem them throughout the ages. The second part tells of the mighty evocation
of the riders by a secret religious cabal, and the Rider's final war against
mankind. The last part is where the whole of humankind is eradicated, save for
one man, who will walk the aftermath of plague, war, starvation and death -
unable to breed... destined to die as the last of his kind." - Metal-Archives
It's an awesome goregrind album, but hard to find. Download it, if you like the genre.
Aeon is a very good swedish death metal band. It's my favourite album by them.
Rebaelliun was a brazilian death metal band, and it's their last full-length album. It's an awesome brutal death release.
Brutal death metal with high pitched vocals. I like it.
"Do you like BIZARRE slam? Dripping fan perhaps? Are you interested in finding something atmospheric, creepy, perhaps even a bit psychologically disturbing? You're going to wanna check out this newcomer band from Japan, with probably the coolest name ever." - Slam-Minded
First album of this new, but awesome brutal death band from Italy. It's insane, it's catchy, what else do we need?
First album of this mind-blowing brutal death band. Everything is excellent on this release. Download it!
Brutal death from Italy. I found this band on YouTube a long time ago. I enjoyed it very much, but i couldn't find their EP anywhere, so I gave up and forgot about it. But as soon as I found it, it quickly became one of my favourites. The vocals are just... sick. Enjoy it, like I do!
This album is made by some dudes from UK, and i bet you can't guess what their album is called. These British dipshits should all have a slap across their face for taking my name, and another one for placing it on a decent album. And yet another one for naming the worst song on the entire album the same thing. Don't even bother making a review on this. And sorry for posting more metalcore, I'll stop it from now on.
I guess I'll also have to give you the download link to the album since some may like it, even though I bet the differ. But I'll suggest you download it anyway, so I can get my RapidPoints.
Since this is my first post, I’ll review something from my own country – Denmark.
As We Fight is a metalcore band and with their two lead singers it gives a unique form of hardcore. I couldn’t decide what album to choose, so I had to review both of them. I found them through some random searching on YouTube and when I first listened to it I wasn’t surprised at all, but the album soon had to prove me wrong. This must be one of the best metalcore bands from Denmark, if not the best, and I quickly realized after hearing both albums simultaneous, that this was different from all the other shitty metalcore that you hear nowadays. As We Fight will release yet another album which is coming in April and I’ll probably be making a review on that too. Nonetheless, I’m already aware that this post isn’t the most exciting, so I’ll stop it and let you have your opinions about the albums while I read up on stuff for my new review.
Oh, and by the way: Hai I’m Chronicles. Don’t judge me on my first post.
Goregrind, death, pathology, et cetera. Will review it later.
id_ trying to sound smart:
I figure there was enough shit flinging going on in the comments of their latest album I would toss this up just to add fuel to the flames. I've heard/read enough arguing over deathcore lately that I have to ask "what is deathcore"? Sure, direct me to some website or name some bands, but that doesn't really give me an answer. I'm talking under the same gesture that "what is existence" or "prove to me I'm alive" ... et. al, it's all relative. If a band is heavy enough to you, it can be metal as fuck, Disturbed still makes parents nervous and your school mates think your goth.
So! Fuck what ya heard.
PS, fuck the amerikan public school system (private too for that matter).
id_'s actual review: It's got cowbell. I swear.
TL;DR version: HOLY SHIT BIG COCKS IN MY EARS!
When I noticed this album floating about on the intertubes, I nearly got a heart attack from the sheer magnitude of awesomeness I witnessed. I can hardly describe my admiration for this band, their album 'Receptive When Beaten' is some of the roughest, most misogynistic, hateful redneck deathgrind/groovy brutal death amalgamation ever recorded in history, and also one of my utmost favorites. These guys audially grab you by the throat and stab you in the eye while taking a shit on your sister's raped, dismembered, and burnt cadaver every time you play it, just to show you they mean business. No show-off technicality or slowing down so you could catch breath, just relentlessly punishing and straightforward. Sex Drugs & Deathmetal is not much different, although the rough sound has become slightly cleaner. There's also more emphasis on groove, but it's still the same kind of badass brutality. It's captivating as hell, you'll be headbanging as you hear the first notes, and it's very consistent. Few tracks stand out, and the ones that don't are also very catchy to begin with. As of now I've listened to it one single time, and I've already decided that I love everything about it. The music, the cover, the title, the attitude, everything. I couldn't find the lyrics but I never really care about them anyway, and I'm sure they're about some random hedonistic badassery as you might assume from the title. Fuck you, this is going to be among this year's bests.
Naming your band Suicide Silence would lead the common listener to the assumption that you wear tight pants, and eyeliner despite you're male, and that your favorite style is emo. This is only partially right though. The Cleansing epitomizes the straightforward, bludgeoning approach to deathcore which doesn't really leave room for anything but breakdowns. Variety is definitely not one of it's strong points, but if you're into 'chuggz' and roundhouse kicks, you'll enjoy listening to this.
Spanish brutal death featuring two members of Wormed. This instantly makes is awesome, not that it wouldn't be good regardless. It has every characteristic of modern brutal death, without being bland or boring. All songs are fairly technical but without lacking integrity. Most of the album is extremely fast, but it also slows down every now and then for a brief, heavy breakdown. The guitars are low-tuned, and besides the occasional tremolo-picked passes we have a shitload of pinch-harmonics. Phlegeton's vocals are still as inhuman as they always were. The grunts over here don't sound as rough as they do on Planisphaerium, but you can definitely tell it's him holding the mic. Degradation Pradox is a solid album, if you want some non-wankery modern brutal death that's actually memorable, get this.
Suffo worship at it's best. This could be titled Effigy Of The Forgotten part 2.
Grindcore with that extra-bit of "oomph" to make your testicular fortitude mighty and swell with pride. I'd say more but you don't read this do you?
Go steal a car and drive it into a hospital.

"Born from the desire of former members of influential powerviolence band Man Is The Bastard to create ground-breaking and powerful noise, The Bastard Noise have spent almost two decades and over 100 releases making haunting, disturbing and sometimes beautiful, yet cacophonic, oise. The Bastard Noise enlists the help of members of bands like The Locust, Boredoms, Honeywell and Agoraphobic Nosebleed to ensure a truly genre defying and defining sound." - release ad
This release can be described as 'noise' that's that. Tracks are a constant assault on the ears, with experimentation abroad. Minimal vocals are involved here but when they are they accompany the onslaught just right. Nothing with this release seems out of place, if your not into 10+ minute noise tracks, meh.

REMEMBER THERE IS A PERIOD BEFORE 'RARMY' AND I ENFORCE THE USE OF WINRAR TO EXTRACT THESE FILES DUE TO CLIENT ISSUES. GAHD!
A one man project from Germany that while deemed 'depressive black metal' reaches out beyond the suggested genre. Borrowing elements and influence from various genres this release sways to very mood driven sound.
Plus the label the guys on gives me the giggles.
Necrovore practically invented Morbid Angel's style of death metal before MA achieved any recognition. A treat for fans of classic death metal.
