I can't remember which one of our old friends first promoted these guys around here but I am thinking it was either DDM or bongripper, whoever it was I want to say thank you! Over the years I have really grown to like this band and realized recently that I hadn't posted any of their material with the exception of their 2015 EP Bloodcvlts (clocking in at 40 minutes it is difficult to consider that an EP). They have so much quality material but I think this is my favorite album from them. This isn't Neanderthal death metal, this is for the thinking man.

Witness: -[*]-
Battalion has long since split up but their first 2 LPs, which includes this disc are excellent examples of war themed death metal done right. Heavy as a King Tiger and deadlier than an 88 trained on advancing infantry. Now in 2022, 2 of their members have resurfaced in Carnal Desecration who have just released their own top-tier slab of Belgian death \m/\m/

Here is a fairly obscure band, or at least to me. I had not seen this posted in any other places for a long time but it seems that CarlG had and he provided this 320 rip. These guys have an even better-sounding 2015 release that is currently available for NYP at their Bandcamp page, so check them out.

8. Sea of the Dead

Witness: -[*]-
On these earlier albums, Inanna had a more progressive/technical style than what is displayed on the newest release. I think I preferred this earlier work and they have a remastered version of this disc available on their Bandcamp page.

Viral Apocalypse is the second and final release for these purveyors of Italian technicality. The band changed their name to Ad Nasuseam several years back and I am not such a big fan of their style now but this disc here is highly recommended \m/\m/

Top-shelf Greek death metal from ancient Athens. I am fairly certain that every experienced death metal fan has heard this disc already but if for some reason you are not aware of Dead Congregation then do yourself a favor and become indoctrinated.

Witness: -[*]-
This band has been around for 30 years and this is the only disc that I have ever heard from them, simply because I have never sought them out since finding this a few years ago. This really isn't death metal and may not be appealing to all but for some reason on the infrequent times that I listen to this, I tend to listen all of the way through.

Anyone remember this killer piece of Belgian melodic tech-death from 12 years ago now? I hadn't listened to it in a long time but broke it out in the car the other day and now I'm remembering how good it was back then and now. Listen & Support!
