Some deadly pills …


There are some very recent death metal releases which hooked my attention. They are from relatively new bands and the releases are EPs or demos, so I’m posting them together.
One of the objects posted here is by Feral, a fine death metal combo from Skellefteå, Sweden.
The other one is from the death/black band Lvcifyre from London (UK).
A third one is from the “occult death metal” band Grave Miasma from London as well.

Feral play some nice, bold, groovy death metal with very catchy and “mischievous”, death’n’rollish rhythms, like “listening to Cannibal Corpse on the Toys' N’Rus”, as a reviewer wrote on a Swedish webzine. And the growled vocals, by vocalis Hook, are excellent: deep and nasty but even I can understand what he sings about (well, almost ...). I’m posting their second EP.
Lvcifyre include two members of the UK-based black/death band Adorior. What I’m posting is their debut EP, containing two tracks drenched of pure evil, dark and unpolished death metal.
Grave Miasma, formerly named as Goat Molestör, share the drummer with Adorior. Terrorizer magazine wrote about them that “they sup greedily from the bloody chalice of Incantation and Sarcofago, staying true to the old school even as their own ritual poison seeps through”. I don’t need to add more …

Warriors


Some juicy blackened death metal from UK. I discovered these guys recently (this album was out in early September 2009) but I quite like them.

“Scythian's debut full-length "To Those Who Stand Against Us..." is a ferocious tour de force presenting Scythian 's unique brand of metal; malicious, down-tuned riffs that could have been recorded by Sodom in the mid-80's melt into truly magnificent choir-backed passages reminiscent of "Hammerheart"-era Bathory only to collapse into a frenzied blasting orgy of war, death and desolation; emerging once again from the chaos with some of the most virtuose guitar solos ever to be heard on a Metal recording. Enshrined in a face-melting production courtesy of Leon Macey (Mithras) that perfectly captures the sonic madness as it happens, "To Those Who Stand Against Us..." is one of the strongest debut albums in recent years and proves that Scythian are truly a force to be reckoned with.” (from myspace)
