Assorted Collection 55 - Various Metal Artists


Not since the great Chuck Schuldiner, godfather of the death metal genre, when concocting the first DEATH song or since Corpse Grinder vomited the first verse of the  VILE album has there been a more perverse, obscene and loud metal show!  We are here professing the voice of true heavy ass music which only the most pissed-off, weird and cool people like yourself would appreciate. The only show where the old school and the new school clash together! 

"What fans want is somebody that comes down from another planet that you will never possibly visit, and touches you, and goes away again. That's what a real good rock show is like. Aliens from another world come and kick you in the teeth and fuck off quick, you know? Hendrix was like that." -Lemmy Kilmister (Motörhead)

1. THE MODERN AGE SLAVERY - ARISE (SEPULTURA), Album: Requiem for Us All (2013)
The Modern Age Slavery band
Album Notes
When it comes to Italian Death Metal, Fleshgod Apocalypse and, at least more recently, Hour of Penance get as much attention as any band on the extreme side of (s)t(r)hings could possibly wish for. The land of pizza and pasta has spawned another leviathan of a band, though, thus giving birth to an unholy trinity: The Modern Age Slavery.

While listening to their first release, 'Damned To Blindness', had already induced a plethora of orgasms in me, their latest effort, 2013's 'Requiem For Us All', felt like the kind of album I had been eagerly awaiting for years. Well, not in the way a bum waits for their next welfare check, after they spent their last one on cheap booze during the first two weeks of the month, but more like a man with his head resting on the guillotine block, waiting for the hangman. And as it turned out during the very first moments of the record at hand, that analogy was quite appropriate, what with those razor-sharp riffs more than capable of chopping one's braincage off and those relentlessly blasting drums at the beginning of the title track, sitting right at the top of the tracklist.

2. CANNIBAL CORPSE - HIGH VELOCITY IMPACT SPLATTER, Album: A Skeletal Domain (2014)
Cannibal Corpse band
Album Notes
In all seriousness, A Skeletal Domain is a great album. It’s everything that a Cannibal Corpse record should and needs to be. There’s nothing really new, no punches, or nothing else but Cannibal Corpse’s own brand of death metal. From top to bottom, the album is pure and focused dark and brutal energy.

“Consistency is often confused with repetition. We are established with what we do as a band, and we could relax and not push ourselves, but we try to push the envelope. That’s what make this exciting,” … “Anyone who really listens to this album with an open mind will hear that it’s not same-old same-old.” -Alex Webster (bass) Read more at Metal Injection.

"High Velocity Impact Spatter"

Climbing
Heights unimagined unattained
To drop bodies from the sky
Falling
Alive in mid air moving fast
Heads exploding on the ground
Throwing
Corrupted souls in front of trains
Just to watch the bodies fly
Grinning
At the site of shredded innards
Brains exploded all around.

High velocity impact spatter.

Slamming
You into walls excesive speed
Creates catastrophic sounds
Scraping
Fresh blood and guts from off the pavement
Before stench of death sets in
Piercing
Between the eyes and unexpected
Liquid red spraying behind
Killing
Impact spatter brutal force
Something I will always need.

High velocity impact spatter.

A necro potion is made
From the remains of the dead

Daily ritual intake
Drinking remains of the dead.

Death after life after death
Only obtained in one way.

High velocity impact spatter

3. WOMIT ANGEL - SUMMONING THE SPIRITS OF AGONY, Album: Holy Goatse (2014)
Vomit Angel band
Press
Wömit Angel was founded in early summer of 2010 in Tampere, Finland, by three guys who wanted to create music that makes you to drink your ass off and to mosh your head off, just like Impaled Nazarene and Motörhead does, so it was clear from the start that you could hear the attitude in Wömit Angel’s furious and storming music.

4. MARTY FRIEDMAN - SOCIOPATH, Album: Inferno (2014)
Marty Friedman
Album Notes
"Inferno," FRIEDMAN's first album of original material in four years and his first in more than a decade to be released worldwide simultaneously. Recorded in Los Angeles with engineer Chris Rakestraw (Children of Bodom, Danzig) and mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Amon Amarth), the album features what FRIEDMAN recently told Guitar World is "the most intense writing and playing I can do," with the goal of "go(ing) completely ape-shit, in the most 'Marty' way possible."

"I'm extremely proud of the work I've done with Cacophony and Megadeth, but I was never interested in looking back or stopping there," FRIEDMAN says. "'Inferno' is the album that fans of my work with those two bands have always wanted me to make. I've finally made it, and completely on my own maniacal terms."

Notably, "Inferno" includes several collaborations with players influenced by FRIEDMAN, including Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom), Revocation guitar whiz David Davidson, the flamenco/metal acoustic duo Rodrigo y Gabriela and acclaimed rocker Danko Jones. In addition, the album features FRIEDMAN's first songwriting collaboration with Jason Becker since the pair played together in Cacophony. Ultimately, though, it's arguably the most compelling chapter yet in FRIEDMAN's improbable international journey -- one for which he's excited to have fans in all countries along for the ride.

5. EXODUS - BODY HARVEST, Album: Blood in Blood out (2014)
Exodus Band
Album Notes
While it's easy to empathize with Rob Dukes' predicament, the result of "Blood In, Blood Out" is an overwhelming success. This band is more recharged even than when pulling together "Shovel Headed Kill Machine" in 2005 and Steve "Zetro" Souza has plenty to do with it. The rest is left to some ingenious songwriting, punishing thrash and an old school refusal to die. Even the double-hammered breakdown on the slower "My Last Nerve" still deals some of the heaviest tones on this or any metal album to-date. This is one of EXODUS' finest outputs in their three-plus decades as a band and it deserves to become one of the toast albums of 2014. The cruddy circumstances leading up to it put aside, "Blood In, Blood Out" far exceeds what the fans could've wanted from it. Pared down to a simple sentence, this album is fucking sick.

6. OBITUARY - VIOLENCE, Album: Inkted in Blood (2014)
obituary band
Album Notes
As it seems to be a pattern this year in metal, "Inked in Blood" is dealt mostly on the slower side — if CROWBAR and AUTOPSY's latest offerings aren't indicative enough of this trend. OBITUARY has of late been experimenting with their sound on "Xecutioner's Return" and "Darkest Day". So it's no surprise then "Inked in Blood" resumes this inclination with relative unpredictability, which serves the album's cause. Speed is incremental on this album; heaviness is assured. Occasionally choppy, all over the place, but never boring, "Inked in Blood" is a winner in the fact it makes every grubby and gory minute count. OBITUARY's financial backers will consider this album a high dividend. Read more at Blabbermouth

7. MUNDANO - CADENA DE MUERTOS, Demo (2014)
Mundano band
Song Notes
Emerging from the crime infested, corrupt government and violent streets of Guatemala city comes MUNDANO. Essentially, Guatemala's premiere death metal act. Fueled by an upside down society, religious liars, political puppets, corrupt police, gangs and Guatemala's spoiled aristocrats; the band has managed to capture a sonic portrait of social decay through thier first debut 'Conteo de los Craneos' 2012. Mostly a sonic display of classic and modern death metal, the sonically abusive rythmn section is complimented by lead vocalist Christian Vanderberg's harsh gutural singing. MUNDANO has been busy writing material for a new release soon to be announced. As a first, the band has made available a demo version of a new track entitled 'Cadena de Muertos'. A gargantuan composition of modern brutal death metal which is showing the band's new direction in increasing the level of pain! The song is free for download at the band's reverbnation site.
MUNDANO is Richard Padilla (Drums) Oliverio Martinez (Bass) Andres Sandoval (Guitar) Christian Vandenberg (Vocals).
8. SLIPKNOT - THE DEVIL IN I, Album: Slipknot .5 The Gray Chapter(2014)
Slipknot
Album Notes
The band has characterized ‘.5: The Gray Chapter’ as a cross between ‘Iowa’ and ‘Vol.3: (The Subliminal Verses),’ at least in terms of musical approach, and it does indeed contain both the raw aggression of the former and the artistic reach of the latter. But rather than beat a crisis-driven retreat to a musical comfort zone, Slipknot reveal an encouraging willingness here to stretch themselves even further. Opening track “XIX,” for example, is a masterpiece of unresolved tension consisting mostly of disconcerting samples, a haunting viola drone, and Corey Taylor’s anguished (and very loudly mixed) vocals. After nearly three minutes of build-up, Taylor yowls like a trap door has just opened under him, and you immediately expect the full band to come crashing in together—but instead, there’s only weird sawing noises, bells, and animal sounds underlining the space where Taylor’s voice used to be. “Kill Pop” starts out with Taylor crooning over an atmospheric electronic groove, and ends with him screaming his guts out over a Metallica-esque rave-up. “The One That Kills the Least” features ringing, Cure-like guitars, layered vocals, and a crunching verse that leads into a soaring and melodic chorus. “Custer” begins with an intentionally smarmy Taylor monologue (“Listener aggression is advised,” he purrs) then explodes into one of the album’s most punishing cuts. “Cut, cut, cut me up and fuck, fuck, fuck me up” Taylor implores, again and again, before the track screeches to a halt.

9. SODOM - M16, Album: M16 (2001)
sodom band
Album Notes
If Bernemann's guitar work in the riff category can be compared to a rifle, then his solos are the ammunition. High-piercing, chaotic, and in a pure frenzy, the solos that he fires off left and right only reflect the magnitude of insanity found in the tracks. There's hardly any melody scattered throughout them, save maybe on "Napalm in the Morning", "Genocide", and when he mixes some melody on "M-16". The rest are straight up shredders, mowing down anything in their path. On "Among the Weirdcong", Bernemann sets the tone for the entire album, matching the songs ferocity with his own. The solos are truly a sight within themselves, and they are no small feat to accomplish. They ricochet off every surface and will always redirect straight for your cranium. Read more

10. NECROSIS - KILLING ENGINE, Album: Reenslaved to the Machine(2014)
Necrosis band
Biography
After 5 years, and some line up changes, the Chilean metal band NECROSIS comes back with 'Reenslaved to the machine. The album' was recorded at RAF Studios, Santiago, Chile and produced by its drummer Andy Nacrur, during 2013

It was the very first album released in vinyl format for a Chilean band at that time. The band split up in the early nineties after Alfredo Peña's suicide and reformed around 1999, recorded 'Enslaved to the Machine (2001)' and once again split up, this time due to musical differences and lack of time. The band expects to release in 2015, the remake of their album 'Reborn' originally from 2009.

12. ACCEPT - BALLS TO THE WALL, Album: Balls to the Wall (1983)
Album Notes
Accept's most notorious album, Balls to the Wall was also their biggest commercial success. Following hot upon the heels of their creative breakthrough, Restless and Wild, you'd also be hard pressed to find a more sexually charged record in any musical genre. Its hysterically nonsensical lyrics notwithstanding, the legendary title track remains an irresistible, fist-pumping masterpiece that came to epitomize the modern, slow-marching metal anthem as it became known. And when paired with second single "London Leatherboys," it arguably constitutes the most blatantly homoerotic couplet in the history of heavy metal (eat your heart out, Rob Halford). "Fight It Back" is about as close as the band gets to their old, semi-thrashing ways (taken to the limit the previous year with the maniacal "Fast as a Shark"), and it is the more melodic "Head Over Heels" and semi-ballad "Losing More Than You've Ever Had" that set the tone for Accept's future direction. The album's third undisputed classic, the driving "Love Child," kicks off side two with one of metal's great staccato riffs -- so good, the band revisits it nearly verbatim a few songs later with "Losers and Winners," which is nearly as powerful. And though not quite as celebrated, the remaining tracks are no less potent, especially the slowly building tension heard on the downright lascivious "Turn Me On." The bottom line here is that this, like its predecessor Restless and Wild, is an essential heavy metal album, and any fan worth his salt should own them both. But, for the sake of first-time visitors, Balls to the Wall is the slightly more melodic, less gritty of the two. Whichever you chose, you can only win. Read more at All Music.

13. JUDAS PRIEST - GRINDER, Album: British Steel (1980)
Album Notes
Predating Metallica's self-titled blockbuster by 11 years, Judas Priest's British Steel was a similarly pitched landmark boasting many of the same accomplishments. It streamlined and simplified the progressive intricacies of a band fresh off of revolutionizing the entire heavy metal genre; it brought an aggressive, underground metal subgenre crashing into the mainstream (in Priest's case, the NWOBHM; in Metallica's, thrash); and it greatly expanded the possibilities for heavy metal's commercial viability as a whole. Of course, British Steel was nowhere near the sales juggernaut that Metallica was, but in catapulting Judas Priest to the status of stadium headliners, it was the first salvo fired in heavy metal's ultimate takeover of the hard rock landscape during the 1980s. Packed with strong melodic hooks, British Steel is a deliberate commercial move, forsaking the complexity of the band's early work in favor of a robust, AC/DC-flavored groove. It's a convincing transformation, as Priest prove equally adept at opening up their arrangements to let the rhythms breathe (something Iron Maiden, for all their virtues, never did master). The album is built around the classic singles "Breaking the Law" and "Living After Midnight," both big hits in the U.K., which openly posit Priest as a party band for the first time.

14. IN THIS MOMENT - WHORE, Album: Blood (2013)
In This Moment Band
Album Notes
Blood, the fourth studio outing from Los Angeles, California-based arena metalcore outfit In This Moment, retains much of 2010's A Star-Crossed Wasteland's pop sheen, while adding new electronic elements to the mix. The first album to be recorded sans founding members Blake Bunze and Jeff Fabb, the record is steeped in the brooding, ornate, angst-filled, sonically meticulous craftsmanship that has made the group a festival favorite since its 2007 debut. The collection offers up 14 new tracks, including the blistering first single, "Blood," which was written by vocalist Maria Brink, lead guitarist Chris Howorth, and Juno Award-winning producer Kevin Churko.

15. CADAVERIA - VELO (The Other Side of Hate), Album: Silence (2014)
Cadaveria band
Album Notes
Silence’ is the title of Cadaveria’s fifth full length album, following the critically acclaimed ‘Horror Metal’, released in 2012 on Bakerteam Records, which gained enthusiastic consent worldwide and led the band on tour from Europe to South America for most part 2012 and 2013.

‘Silence’ was mainly composed in 2013 and recorded between May and July 2014 in three different recording studios owned by the band itself. It features eleven brand new tracks for a total running time of about 47 minutes, described as the perfect soundtrack for a contemporary horror movie, set in dark cellars, smelling of incense and seeping pain, rage and melancholy. The atmospheres are cryptic and otherworldly, but the mood and the musical approach are strikingly aggressive and concrete. The lyrics, written by singer Cadaveria, swing between the afterlife dimension and reality, unveiling the soul of their author as never before.

16. NECRODEATH - WRATH, Album: The 7 Deadly Sins (2014)
Necrodeath band
Album Notes

Legendary black/thrashers Necrodeath are back with their much anticipated new album ‘The 7 Deadly Sins’, following the critically acclaimed, single-track album ‘Idiosyncrasy’. The new effort goes back to the band’s roots, delivering 7 fast and brutal songs centering around the 7 sins. For the first time ever, the band used their Italian mother tongue to write most of the lyrics, as well as English and Latin, giving a different edge to the music itself. Also, 2 classic songs from the band’s catalogue have been re-recorded by the new line-up and included in the tracklist, ‘Thanatoid’ from ‘Fragments Of Insanity’ (1989) and ‘Graveyard Of The Innocents’ from ‘Into The Macabre’ (1987). The artwork features a provocative shot of renowned porn star Mila Ramos. The album has been anticipated by a 7-inch vinyl single release of the song ‘Wrath’. Here's how Necrodeath's drummer Peso commented the event: "'Wrath' is one of the most brutal, fast and uncompromising songs we have ever written. In a way, we have gone back to our roots. This song will definetely give you an idea how the album sounds: 100% Necrodeath. 100% Hell!"

17. NAILBOMB - COCHROACHES, Album: Point Blank (1994)
Nailbomb band
Album Notes

Point Blank wears its pedigree on its sleeve. Nailbomb's first -- and only -- studio album combines the thrash-metal fury of Sepultura with the robotic industrial clangor of Fudge Tunnel in more or less equal proportions, though the end product boasts slightly more Fudge overall than Sep, which may be slightly surprising considering that nearly the entire Sepultura lineup is present on the guest list -- both Andreas Kisser and Igor Cavalera are credited. Then again, there's also Dino Cazares of Fear Factory and Ritchie Bujnowski from Wicked Death, so the industrial and metal factions are pretty evenly balanced. The jacket sleeve picture -- a female Viet Cong suspect with a U.S. soldier's gun to her head, and the credits that, among other things, direct a "f*** you" toward "fake hippies," "Lenny Kranivitz," and "Skinhead O'Connor," give some indication of what to expect and, truly, Point Blank doesn't disappoint in the energy department. There isn't much here by way of melody, but Nailbomb does have a mean punk streak, a full complement of relentless grinding riffs, and an industrial-strength percussive roar. The lyrics are uniformly nihilistic and the album is riddled with left-field samples that add a disorienting, dehumanizing texture -- ranging from vocal snippets taken from Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer to the sounds of Max Cavalera beating up on his washing machine and Alex Newport slamming the brakes on a broken-down old car he drove at the time the album was being made. Nailbomb's aesthetic may be lo-fi (everything except the guitars and drums was recorded in Cavalera's house), but there's no quarter given when it comes to the ass-kicking that is full-on malevolent from the get-go. Cavalera and Newport wrote all the songs here, except for a cover of Doom's "Exploitation." Point Blank is abrasive, in your face, and loud as hell with the lid off. Too bad Nailbomb didn't live long enough to follow it up.

18. PRONG - BROKEN PEACE, Album: Cleansing (1994)
Tomy Victor Prong
Album Notes
The aptly titled Cleansing offers a cleansing of Prong's sound, tightening up their trademark drilling guitars while adding some slight techno and industrial touches, which only heightens the tension. Thankfully, none of this compromises the band, but only strengthens their already muscular metallic roar. In fact, it helps makes Cleansing their most varied and best record yet.

19. CONVERGE - SADDNESS COMES HOME, Album: All We Love We Leave Behind (2012)
Converge band
Album Notes
The brilliant hardcore band Converge have been around a long time, though you might not guess it from the manic energy crammed into their eighth album, All We Love We Leave Behind. If you go beyond the amped, break-neck intensity and listen to the compositions, it becomes clear the Boston band is nearing the 25-year mark: You don't just show up and write songs like this.

One of the quartet's not-so-secret weapons is Kurt Ballou, the guitarist (and backing vocalist, bassist, keyboardist, etc.), who happens to be one of the most well-regarded engineers in heavy music and an endless tinkerer who'd build a snare from scratch if it meant getting the sound he needed. The central core of vocalist/in-house artist Jacob Bannon and Ballou-- along with bassist Nate Newton and drummer Ben Koller, who both joined in 1999-- have been together long enough to know each other very well, and to play almost entirely to their own strengths.

20. SLAYER - ANGEL OF DEATH, Album: Reign in Blood (1986)
Slayer Angel of Death
[Lyrics & Music - Hanneman]

Auschwitz, the meaning of pain
The way that I want you to die
Slow death, immense decay
Showers that cleanse you of your life
Forced in
Like cattle
You run
Stripped of
Your life's worth
Human mice, for the Angel of Death
Four hundred thousand more to die
Angel of Death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Sadistic, surgeon of demise
Sadist of the noblest blood

Destroying, without mercy
To benefit the Aryan race

Surgery, with no anesthesia
Feel the knife pierce you intensely
Inferior, no use to mankind
Strapped down screaming out to die
Angel of Death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Infamous butcher,
Angel of Death

Pumped with fluid, inside your brain
Pressure in your skull begins pushing through your eyes
Burning flesh, drips away
Test of heat burns your skin, your mind starts to boil
Frigid cold, cracks your limbs
How long can you last
In this frozen water burial?
Sewn together, joining heads
Just a matter of time
'Til you rip yourselves apart
Millions laid out in their
Crowded tombs
Sickening ways to achieve
The holocaust
Seas of blood, bury life
Smell your death as it burns
Deep inside of you
Abacinate, eyes that bleed
Praying for the end of
Your wide awake nightmare
Wings of pain, reach out for you
His face of death staring down,
Your blood running cold
Injecting cells, dying eyes
Feeding on the screams of
The mutants he's creating
Pathetic harmless victims
Left to die
Rancid Angel of Death
Flying free

Angel of Death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Infamous butcher,
Angel of Death

21. ABYSMAL DAWN - THE INEVITABLE RETURN TO DARKNESS, Album:Obsolescence  (2014)
Abysmal Dawn
Album Notes
One can’t expect to be too surprised by an Abysmal Dawn record. On their fourth full-length, the L.A. death metallers chug forward with their traditional mixture of speed, technicality, and twisted melody, reminiscent of Origin, Gojira, and The Black Dahlia Murder. While the album’s opening cuts sometimes sound similar-bordering-on-repetitive, later tracks like “One Percent Incomplete” and “By My Demons” showcase frontman Charles Elliot’s talent for menacing atmosphere and creative riff- and vocal-patterns, while their closing Dissection cover shreds fantastically. Those seeking a reliable tech-death assault—one that suggests an awesome live show—need look no further. Read more at Revolver
