The New Stuff Not much new OSDM out on the streaming services this week, but ABHORRENCE, MONSTROSITY and DEICIDE all dropped new tracks ahead of their upcoming albums, due out September 21st (Svart Records), 7th (Metal Blade) and 14th (Century Media), respectively. This is Abhorrence’s first new music in 28 years (good lord), Monstrosity’s first album in 11 years and Deicide’s first with new guitarist Mark English. Everything else was on there last week. Cheers! Apple Music Spotify…

Not much new OSDM out on the streaming services this week, but what is is good. Press play and read below. Spotify Apple Music The New Shit DRAWN AND QUARTERED have a new album called The One Who Lurks (Krucyator Productions). Raw and bowel-ish, firmly of the Incantation school of grime. Good stuff and it’s name-your-price on Bandcamp. Hammerheart’s working on reissues of MALEVOLENT CREATION‘s catalog and their deluxe version of The Ten Commandments dropped today. This…

Disincarnate merch!

By Jason Muxlow | July 26, 2018November 21, 2018 by Jason Muxlow

Something by the name of Craft Kanilea is reissuing DISINCARNATE’s 1992 demo on cassette. Limited edition of 150 and it sounds like they’re mostly gone, so step on it if you’re interested: https://craftkanilea.bigcartel.com/product/disincarnate-soul-erosion-demo-tapes James Murphy also posted a link to a very small run of Disincarnate zip up hoodies by another European outfit. A bit pricey, but damn is that nice and they have some other killer OSDM shirts and hoodies to make international shipping worth it…

Been a bit of a dry year for OSDM but summer’s finally hot and everything’s turning up deliciously rotten. Press play and read below. Spotify Apple Music The New Shit DRAWN AND QUARTERED have a new album called “The One Who Lurks” (Krucyator Productions) and ATROCITY came out of nowhere with a killer followup to 2013’s Okkult and while there’s a bit goth in the choirs and bombastic bits, it’s a death metal record…

Find our curated playlist on Apple Music & Spotify

By Jason Muxlow | July 25, 2018November 21, 2018 by Jason Muxlow

A while back, I started making playlists on Apple Music and filling them with any new death metal that fit the SV mold of being either: Reissued music originally released before 2000 New music from bands that were around before 2000 (ex: new Broken Hope) New music from newer DM bands featuring members who were in DM bands before 2000 (ex: new Gruesome) Three months in, it’s still fun and seems sustainable so I’m going…

Thursday Three: Cadaver & Friends

By Jason Muxlow | July 14, 2016November 21, 2018 by Jason Muxlow

Here’s a three of mid-tempo death metal-bordering-on-thrash that exchanges brutality and violence for something a bit more cerebral. There’s something to be said for taking your time. Cadaver — “Into the Outside” from …in Pains (1993) Coroner — “About Life” from Mental Vortex (1991) Inner Thought — “Words” from Perspectives (1995)

Thursday Three: Latter-Day Unleashed

By Jason Muxlow | May 19, 2016November 21, 2018 by Jason Muxlow

Unleashed has had a remarkable career. Exploding out of the gates with “Where No Life Dwells” (1991) (reviewed here and recently reissued on vinyl (again)) and “Shadows in the Deep” (1992), the Swedish killers settled into more sustainable mid-tempo groove for “Across the Open Sea” (1993), “Victory” (1995) and “Warrior” (1997). They took a bit of a break after “Warrior”, but came back in 2002 with the half fun, half dreadful “Hell’s Unleashed” which kicked off…
