So finally our friend Foretold steps up with his best of list for 2014 and he seemed to have no problem narrowing down the field and being very specific with his likes and dislikes. There are a few here that I didn't pay much attention to, so now I need to go back and listen. Thanks for the intel dude \m/\m/
*Best Death Metal Albums of 2014*
-Omnihility “Deathscapes of the subconscious”
Pure technical brutality and a huge step up from their debut album! They
are gonna release a new album in 2015 I can’t imagine how much brutal
things can get!
-Thy serpent’s cult “Sedition, sorcery and blasphemy”
The title says it all! It has a raw edge that and the sound ins’t as wanky
as a lot of releases these days! Very organic sounding DM and great solo’s:
what can I ask more?
-Atomic Aggressor “Sights of suffering”
A debut album after almost 30 (!!) years of existence! This kind of
death/thrash is the kind that you don’t hear much these days, and who could
play it better then veterans that were there in the 80’s?
-Embryonic Devourment “Reptilian agenda”
Not as hectic as their previous album but still great! Can’t understand why
this band is so overlooked by many!
-Decimation “Reign of the ungodly”
Very interesting album which sounds different from their last. It sounds
technical, dark and still very organic which is a real plus in my book!
Can’t wait to see these guys live!
-Morfin “Inoculation”
This band together with the godly Skeletal Remains reminds me of the
glorious days of the mighty Florida scene in the beginning of the 90’s! Not
the most original kind of music but it’s played with passion!
-Unauspraulichen Kulten “Baphomet pan shub niggurath”
Chile strikes once again! This album has what a lot of albums lack:
ATMOSPHERE! This band proves that you don’t need to be brutal by having
1000 blastbeats in a song! The album comes close to what I believe DM
should be: haunting, dark and obscure!
-Emeth “Aethyr”
This band has been there for a long time and deserves much more attention
then their country mates Aborted! They have certainly a sound of their own
IMO and hey: finally an album where the bass is prominent in the mix!
-Ingurgitating Oblivion “Continuum of absence”
Not as brutal as their 1st album, but much more diverse which is a good
thing! Again, this is not music for everyone but once take the time to
discover this music, you will have and album that you will repeat over and
over again!
-Gorgasm “Destined to violate”
One of the few albums that mixes brutality and technicality in a great way!
Nothing more to say about this gem!
-Hate storm annihilation “Storm of hate”
Hate Eternal influenced blasting done in a convincing way! There’s a great
future in front of these guys!
-Resurrecting Judas “The eternal knot”
This band deserves more attention! They definitely have a sound of their
own and I can’t figure out why someone who likes Us Dm won’t like this
album!
-Annihilated “XIII steps to ruination”
A debut album yes, but made with members with a lot experience! Brutal DM
with interesting topics that avoid the usual lyrical cliché’s!
-The infinite within “Bestial void inevitability”
Non stop technical blasting in the vein of old Origin! Not the most
original band and not the best produced album, but hey: it’s their first
album and things can only get better from now on!
-Sabbatory “Endless asphyxiating gloom”
Raw, oldschool played DM with a lot of Thrash influences. Nothing more to
say!
-Rude “Soul recall”
This band sounds like a modern version of Pestilence’s “Consuming impulse”!
Thrashy, raw DM played in the ways of old! What a horrible logo but what a
great music, haha!
Origin “Omnipresent”
It’s not bad, but not what I expected from them….
Massacre “Back from beyond”
This album was not bad at all, but it definitely has too much filler IMO.
If the album had 3 weak songs less, it would have been MUCH better! Still
great songs on it! Too bad that this legend has called it quits………..
