A trio of hasbeen sellouts (Carcass, At the Gates, Mayhem) are headlining the annual beer and metal festival put on by shill metalcore SJW magazine Decibel.
Also playing are grindcore creators Repulsion, glam rockers Sumerlands, hipster whiners Pallbearer, and a bunch of other bands nobody gives as a damn about as they suck. Hessians should stay away; the only band almost guaranteed to put on a good set is Repulsion. Albert Mudrian should shake a bottle of IPA like the phallic infomercial dumbell termed the Shake Weight before cracking it open with his sphincter. What results will make it so the poseurs and buttmunchers who lick him out will get their dose of e. coli bacteria through slurping chilled, grapefruit-tinged sugar water. Hopefully they will all die of dysentery like your party in the Oregon Trail role playing game on the Apple ][ computer.

This site has really sucked for the last month (in particular).
Staff is busy.
Do you need a news aggregator? I would willingly help find relevant metal news, and throw it your way so you can post it.
Sure. Email me at editor at deathmetal.org. The pickings have been slim over the past few weeks while the writers (including myself) are busy working on longer articles.
Kev, why don’t you write some articles for these fucking teenage hacks and show them how metal exegesis is done.
I wonder what outhouse they found Monster Magnet living in.
This band is playing, if you don’t mind what do you think of them?

Spectral Voice sounds like sloppy nursery rhyme lullaby ditties coupled with a raging homo-erotic desire to sound like Onwards to Golgotha. 11/10!!!
maybe its my jadedness combined with aversion to new things, but it seems like OLD SKOOL DETH METUHL revival bands cannot come up with interesting tonal combinations to save their life, like theyre afraid of losing their cred if they incorporate a riff that evokes anything outside of “hey this sounds like an OSDM riff”
Dark Descent knows how to hype the fuck out of and sell a shitload of pre-orders for bands that all sound relatively the same in the OSDM dept but nobody has heard until they announce their release. I am guessing for a death metal band getting on this label is like winning $10,000 on a scratch off ticket as you suddenly have a small fanbase in the collector community almost overnight and can suddenly get on good shows. It is odd I don’t really like any of the newer bands, I went through a phase of buying all the new releases and I ended up never listening to them or being able to get through an entire album as a lot of is boring. It’s even more odd that the bits and pieces of oldschool death metal that make up the standard DD band represent everything I love about the genre but it doesn’t work for me and is instead actively pissing me off everything I hear it. It sounds like a check list of tropes, things that SHOULDN’T be tropes, sliced into pieces and sewn together haphazardly representing an abomination with no soul.
Dark Descent still hasn’t released a good full album by a new band yet. Best Dark Descent reviews:
https://www.deathmetal.org/news/sadistic-metal-reviews-dark-descent-into-uranus/
Ripper’s last album came out on Unspeakable Axe and their first record was on a Chilean label. Imprecation have been around since the early 90s.
Reminds me of last year’s the Krypts album (I haven’t listened to for a long time and don’t really miss) except that the cooler bits are missing. The main problem is that this is all much to laid-back, it’s all a background to foreground which isn’t there. Stoner stuff designed to make people fall asleep (or don’t disturb them while falling asleep). There’s nothing in there a mind could get a grip on, just an aimlessly seeming sucession of inoffensive bits (inoffensive to people accustomed to them).
Well since there’s a lot of replies I’ll just reply to myself to cover everyone. Yeah this band is too wishy washy for me along with almost all DD bands. Throw a bit of this influence here, snag a couple riff and combine them there and so on. Nothing very original, only related DD band I like is Phrenelith. Rest seem to just want to mash together all of their favorite bands which many classics did but instead of adding their own touch many DD bands just try to mash more together to try to sound unique. That’s why I still give some bands like Antediluvian credit although I think writers don’t like them. I think they can write a song and at least push for aggression and some originality
Finally some TRUE KVLT video games are mentioned around here! They could at least die while hunting via some wild animal attack or an accidental self inflicted gunshot wound.
You are promoting a “metal and beer” fest? How ironic. You suck. Next time promote some anal sex or something less gay.
On another note, new Morbid Angel:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrcZC3qDChs
First Impression: very underwhelming.
after a perfunctory first listen: 2 Covenant riffs with Domination chugcore in between. Gay
What to expect:
At The Gates – 1 old song then Lamb of God/Hypocrisy songs
Carcass – impeccably played Megadeth ripoff songs, sloppily played old songs that they cut short at a certain point
Mayhem – crap no one likes (that all sounds the same), playing a few old songs made by a dead guy
Repulsion – songs played with zero enthusiasm
Everything else is terrible.
All Hell and Full of Hell should surely crack beers in rectums and slurp dry the brown bloody discharge in circle jerk fashion.
Another pointless post from Mallrat.
But why?
This shit is so weak, save your money and just go to creamfields instead. Unless of course you’re an awkward, socially-inept faggot that only listens to metal. P.S. sorry, didn’t mean to hurt your feelings. P.S.S yeah right, I seriously didn’t, fucking loser!
The fifth time over the “resurrection” of a “never dying past” emerges for a new generation of gullible cocksuckers some carny shitfucks can sell tickets to. “I had a close encounter oldschool experience”
Dream Death is killer old school death/doom. Their album “Journey Into Mystery” was released in ’87 so, it is actually old school. That would be the band to see, but yeah this fest is mostly shit.
