Nunslaughter

There should be more death metal bands out there like Nunslaughter. They play pure unrelentless old school death metal. No female vocals, no keyboards, no guitar solos, just pure untamed death metal the way it should be. I was graced to be able to listen to their second full length album "Goat", what a wonderous piece of music. After their first album which was released in 2000, three years later they produced their best album to date. Being around since the early 80's and not making an album till 2000. Their longest song is on "Goat", which clocks in around 3 minutes and 7 seconds. Most songs don't even reach 2 minutes in length. On "Goat" they have a sense of humor and also put their hatred for christians and relgion in the lyrics. This album is probably one of the best albums I have ever listened to. Recommended if you like Autopsy or Demo era-Death. Get this album NOW!!!

Six String Slaughter

Six String Slaughter, a new death metal band from Denmark. They just released their first Ep entitled "The World Slaughter Ep". An excellent Ep, good production, lots of melodys and still they manage to remain pure death metal in vein of bands like Morbid Angel and Kataklysm to name a few. All of the members have been in bands before. I obtained their new ep from the lead singer of the band, Daniel Wilkens. He was also in the band Deadicated. Highly recommend checking them out. They have a myspace and a facebook. Great new death metal!

Profound Lore

"This is a realm where middle ground doesn't exist. Fuck middle ground." announces Profound Lore Records on their website. Forget what you thought was heavy. It's a feather to Profound Lore. This is one of, if not the, heaviest labels in existence. It's dark, it's black, it's doom, it's noise, and it will scare the pants off you. The bands on this label shrug off not only the conventions set by pop music, but they also shed the archetypes of their own genres. Some of the acts on Profound Lore are so heavy as to be almost unlistenable, even for the hardest of metalheads. But the acts here are not slasher film gross-outs, they're haunting psychological horror masters. Some of these beasts include Alcest, Cobalt, The Gates Of Slumber, Krallice, Portal (Aus), and Wold. The site has a selection of free downloads to sample some of this sonic terror, make sure you pack an extra pair of underwear. Always cordial, Profound Lore apologizes if it takes awhile to receive your order. It's a long way from the depths of Hell to your doorstep.
