Thou Shalt Suffer was one of the many side projects of the Norwegian circle of second wave black metal bands. This project features Ihsahn, Samoth, and Ildjarn. Instead of the usual lo-fi black metal, Thou Shalt Suffer plays (or played I should say) a rather odd type of death metal, with extremely guttural vocals and effectively used keyboards. This compilation feature the original Into the Woods of Belial demo, the Open the Mysteries of Your Creation EP, and a rehearsal from 1991.1) Into the Woods of Belial2) I Seek the Path of Obscurity3) Chimera Dimension4) The Goat of a Thousand Young5) Succumb to Vestigia Terrent6) Painful Void of Time7) Spectral Prophecy8) Into the Woods of Belial9) The Goat of a Thousand Young10) Chimera Dimension11) I Seek the Path of Obscurity (Burp Mix)12) Obscurity SupremeMyspaceDownload
Ever wonder what flamenco would sound like if it was crossed with hip hop? Well here it is. Ojos de Brujo plays flamenco with a bit of a twist. Instead of the traditional style, they adopt an extremely modern method with blends flamenco with hip hop and jazz.1) Color2) Sultanas de Merkaillo3) Todo Tiende4) Runali5) El Conforto No Reconforta6) Tanguillos Marineros7) Brujo Silencio8) No Somos Maquinas9) Bailaores10) Corre Lola Corre11) Feedback12) Piedras vs Tanques13) Respira14) NanaMyspaceDownload
I promised you albums right?Slow, heavy, crushing DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM. Not to mention a little bit of psychedelic-ness (is that even a word?) thrown into the mix. Final verdict: Do check out.1) Goddess2) The Search3) Your Highness4) Black Wall5) Swan SongMyspace

So it's been a while since I last posted stuff. School started and I'm still trying to back into the swing of things. You can expect two or three new albums over the next few days.
Here's another band reppin' the 732. Imagine a cross between Converge, Napalm Death, and Pig Destroyer and you've got Burnt By The Sun.1) Inner Station2) Cardiff Giant3) F-Unit4) A Party to the Unsound Method5) There Will Be Blood6) Goliath7) Rust | Future Primitive8) Beacon9) The Great American Dream Machine10) The Wolves are RunningMyspaceDownload link removed at the request of record label
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!As you can clearly see, I absolutely love the Waste. Here's their latest effort, Massive Aggressive. It's a bit slower and the lyrics are a bit more 'mature' (they stopped singing about zombies and beer), but it still kicks ass.1) Masked By Delirium2) Mech-Cannibal3) Divine Blasphemer4) Massive Aggresive5) Wolves of Chernobyl6) Relentless Threat7) The Wrath of the Severed Head8) Upside Down Church9) Shredded Offering10) Media Skeptic11) Horny for Blood12) Wrong Answer13) Acid SentenceMyspaceDownload link removed at request of record company
Behemoth are back with their 9th full-length album, Evangelion. This one is without a doubt a step up from Demigod and The Apostasy. They even debuted at 56 on the Billboard Top 200! Along with Crack the Skye, this is one of the best mainstream metal albums released this year.1) Daimonos2) Shemhamforash3) Ov Fire and the Void4) Transmigrating Beyond Realms ov Amenti5) He Who Breeds Pestilence6) The Seed ov I7) Alas, Lord is Upon Me8) Defiling Morality of Black God9) LuciferMyspaceDownload
There haven't been too many great melodeath releases in the past couple of years. However, Be'lakor's Stone's Reach is among the few recent melodeath albums that won't (or at least shouldn't) be forgotten. Instead of going for the usual Children of Bodom, In Flames or Arsis styles, Be'lakor plays something similar to Opeth's Blackwater Park and the legendary Heartwork and Slaughter of the Soul. The only complaint I have about this album is the average song length, which is hardly a problem and is canceled out by the band's mastery of the genre.1) Venator2) From Scythe to Sceptre3) Outlive the Hand4) Sun's Delusion5) Held in Hollows6) Husks7) Aspect8) Countless SkiesMyspaceDownload
What we have here is technical death metal, but not the kind with all the guitar neck wankery. True, there's still intricate guitarwork on No Tolerance For Imperfection, but what makes Man Must Die tech death is their complex rhythms. If you like death metal, this is a must-have album for this year.1) No Tolerance For Imperfection2) Gainsayer3) Kill It Skin It Wear It4) It Comes In Threes5) This Day Is Back6) Hide The Knives7) Dead In The Water8) What I Can't Take Back9) Reflections From Within10) How The Mighty Have Fallen11) Survival of the SickestMyspaceDownload
After going away for a week and another week of being just plain lazy, I'm here today with the third part of my Whiplash series.1) Misconception- Hour of Penance2) No Compromise- Xentrix3) Stranded in Hell- Nuclear Assault4) Death Metal Darkness- Demonical5) Hammer Slammer- Gama Bomb6) Isaz- Necrophobic7) Destructed Life- Violent Force8) The Waking Cold- Aurora Black9) Necrotechnology- Death Mechanism10) Demiurge of Thermonuclear Damnation- Blasphemophager11) Battered Youth- Gothic Slam12) Triangular Tattvic Fire- Melechesh13) Altar do Sacrificio- Wardeath14) Blasphemies of the Flesh- Carnage15) Stare into the Sun- Gwynbleidd16) Destroying the Manger- Nocturnus17) Iron Tears- Flotsam and Jetsam18) Through the Skin to the Soul- Ripping Corpse19) Live Like an Angel (Die Like a Devil)- Venom20) Suffer the Children- Napalm DeathDownload
WHOAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!Ok, so nobody cares, but whatever.
Aaaaaaaaaaand, I'm back. Today we have Powerwolf, an extremely cheesy, yet oddly entertaining, power metal band. With song titles like "Resurrection by Erection," "St. Satan's Day," and "Catholic in the Morning...Satanist at Night," it's not hard to see why I like this so much.1) Opening: Prelude to Purgatory2) Raise Your Fist, Evangelist3) Moscow After Dark4) Panic in the Pentagram5) Catholic in the Morning...Satanist at Night6) Seven Deadly Saints7) Werewolves of Armenia8) We Take the Church by Storm9) Resurrection by Erection10) Midnight Messiah11) St. Satan's Day12) Wolves Against the WorldMyspaceDownload
I was pleasantly surprised with Goatwhore's new album. Naturally, I was expecting another A Haunting Curse, but this album has a heavier, thrashier feel to it. As far as lyrics go, it's still the same Goatwhore we've all come to love (or not). Overall, Carving Out The Eyes Of God is an improvement from Goatwhore's last album.1) Apocalyptic Havoc2) The All-Destroying3) Carving Out The Eyes Of God4) Shadow Of A Rising Knife5) Provoking The Ritual Of Death6) In Legions, I Am Wars Of Wrath7) Reckoning Of The Soul Made Godless8) This Passing Into The Power Of Demons9) Razor Flesh Devoured10) To Mourn And Forever Wander Through Forgotten DoorwaysMyspaceDownload
Minor Threat is one of many bands that shaped hardcore punk into what it is today. This compilation contains Minor Threat's three EPs, the Out of Step album, and songs from the Flex Your Head compilation.1) Filler2) I Don't Wanna Hear It3) Seeing Red4) Straight Edge5) Small Man, Big Mouth6) Screaming at a Wall7) Bottled Violence8) Minor Threat9) Stand Up10) 12XU11) In My Eyes12) Out of Step (With the World)13) Guilty of Being White14) Steppin' Stone15) Betray16) It Follows17) Think Again18) Look Back and Laugh19) Sob Story20) No Reason21) Little Friend22) Out of Step23) Cashing In24) Stumped25) Good Guys (Don't Wear White)26) Salad DaysDownload
It should be known that there is no such thing as a bad Neurosis side project. Steve Von Till's work under the name Harvestman is strong evidence. In a Dark Tongue, Harvestman's sophomore effort, features a cross between Neurosis' brand of sludge and northwestern US folk metal.1) World Ash2) Karlsteine3) Birch-Wood Bower4) By Wind and Sun5) Music of the Dark Torrent6) Eibhli Ghail Chiuin Ni Chearbhail7) Headless Staves of Poets8) The Hawk of Achill9) Carved in Aspen10) Light Cycle11) In a Dark Tongue12) Centre of the WorldMyspaceDownload
You know how every year there's that one mainstream album that kicks ass? Well this year, that album is Crack the Skye. Instead of the usual obnoxious groove metal, Mastodon opted for a sludgier and more psychedelic sound on this album. Scott Kelly of Neurosis appears on the title track, performing guest vocals.1) Oblivion2) Divinations3) Quintessence4) The Czar: Usurper/Escape/Martyr/Spiral5) Ghost of Karelia6) Crack the Skye7) The Last BaronMyspaceDownload
A true classic. What more needs to be said?1) Five Years2) Soul Love3) Moonage Daydream4) Starman5) It Ain't Easy6) Lady Stardust7) Star8) Hang on to Yourself9) Ziggy Stardust10) Suffragette City11) Rock N Roll SuicideDownload
There's so many ways to describe Glorior Belli's new album. Raw, sludgy, evil, brutal, French, etc. Either way, here's one of the best black metal albums released this year.
1) Once in a Blood Red Moon
2) The Forbidden Words
3) Swamp That Shame
4) There is But One Light5) My True Essence6) In Every Grief-Stricken Blues
7) Nox Illuminatio Mea8) The Blazing Darkness (Of Luciferian Skies)9) Fivefold Thought10) Fires of the Sitra Ahra11) Meet Us at the Southern SignMyspace

Unsurprisingly, the Italians have given us another amazing extreme metal band. Raw, brutal, blackened death metal. Plus, the production isn't complete crap and isn't too polished. And did I mention the imagery is ridiculous? 1) Intro / Dawn of Chaoscratic Tyrrany2) Bringers of Extermination3) Abyss of Lust, Chaos & Death4) Curse of the Phosgene Fog5) Devastating Radioactive Torments6) Holocaust Summoning of Nuclear Storm7) ...Of Atomic Orgies & Demoniac Elements8) Demiurge of Thermonuclear Damnation9) Teratogenesis of Doom10) The Return of Bestial Vomit11) Nuclear War Now!12) Perverse DelightMyspaceDownload
I don't know much about Hüsker Dü, let along their branch of punk. However, this is awesome and that is all that needs to be said. Think Nirvana without an incredibly overrated guitarist and without the MTV.1) Something I Learned Today2) Broken Home, Broken Heart3) Never Talking To You Again4) Chartered Trips5) Dreams Reoccurring6) Indecision Time7) Hare Krsna8) Beyond the Threshold9) Pride10) I'll Never Forget You11) The Biggest Lie12) What's Going On13) Masochism World14) Standing By The Sea15) Somewhere16) One Step At A Time17) Pink Turns To Blue18) Newest Industry19) Monday Will Never Be The Same20) Whatever21) The Tooth Fairy and the Princess22) Turn on the News23) Reoccurring DreamsDownload
If there's one thing that makes me happy, it's when a melodeath band has balls, just like Ignominious Incarceration. It almost sounds like Amon Amarth meets Suffocation.1) Avarice2) Deeds of Days Long Gone3) Elegance in Aggression4) Saviour5) Of Winter Born6) Solitude7) Dynasty Damnation8) Tide of Pestilence9) In the Face of Absolution10) Elusion of MortalityMyspaceDownload
Every year a bunch of old-school bands who haven't been active in ages release their "comeback" album, which usually ends up not being so great *coughmetallicacough*. This time, we have Brutal Truth's first full-length album in 12 years. Fortunately, this album is far from being called a piece of crap. Evolution Through Revolution features the same fast, aggressive, politically-driven grindcore that made Brutal Truth famous in the 90s.1) Sugardaddy2) Turmoil3) Daydreamer4) On the Hunt5) Fist in Mouth6) Get a Therapist, Spare the World7) War is Good8) Evolution Through Revolution9) Powder Burn10) Attack Dog11) Branded12) Detached13) Global Good Guy14) Humpty Finance15) Semi-Automatic Carnation16) Itch17) Afterworld18) Lifer19) Bob Dylan Wrote Propaganda Songs20) Grind FidelityMyspaceDownload
Centaurus-A is a new death metal band on Listenable Records. Their debut Side Effects Expected is one of my favorite albums released this year. Centaurus-A, just like every other tech death band, shows extreme influence from Necrophagist, especially in the solos. However, these guys bring something else to the table: their brand of tech death is infused with a healthy dosage of thrash.1) The Praying Mantis2) Narcotic3) Drop Off4) Morning Tremble5) The Ease6) Incident/Accident7) Arson8) Dripping Red Canvas9) Selfmade Cage10) Resistance Ain't FutileMyspaceDownload
If I had to describe Russian Circles with one word, it would be groovy. Yea, I said groovy...what the hell? Anyway, Russian Circles is an instrumental band, playing post-rock with a little bit of a sludgy edge to it. Here's there latest album, Station.1) Campaign2) Harper Lewis3) Station4) Verses5) Youngblood6) XaviiMyspaceDownload
Once again, the Italians prove their extraordinary skill when it comes to death metal. Fleshgod Apocalypse is a relatively new band, with Oracles as their debut album. These guys aren't exactly your normal brutal death metal band. There's classical interludes scattered throughout the album and the guitar work is undoubtedly influenced a great deal by classical music. It almost seems as if Fleshgod Apocalypse could be classified neoclassical death metal.1) In Honour of Reason2) Post-Enlightenment Executor3) As Tyrants Fall4) Sophistic Demise5) Requiem in SI Minore6) At The Guillotine7) Embodied Deception8) Infection Of The White Throne9) Retrieving My Carcass10) OraclesMyspaceDownload
So Paco de Lucia is basically a living god. His album Zyryab combines a traditional style of flamenco with jazz fusion, creating a somewhat mysterious atmosphere. Jazz pianist Chick Corea plays on the title track and "Almonte" and flamenco guitarist Manolo Sanlucar plays on "Compadres."1) Soniquete2) Tío Sabas3) Chick4) Compadres5) Zyryab6) Canción de Amor7) Playa del Carmen8) AlmonteDownload
So I made another playlist, but this one has only nonmetal stuff on it.1) Lips Like Morphine- Kill Hannah2) The Power of Equality- Red Hot Chili Peppers3) Signals Over the Air- Thursday4) Los Angeles- X5) Midnight Tango- Al di Meola6) Wicked Garden- Stone Temple Pilots7) Have a Cigar- Pink Floyd8) Would You Be Impressed?- Streetlight Manifesto9) I Disappear- The Faint10) (Used To Be A) Cha Cha- Jaco Pastorius11) Siberian Khatru- Yes12) Everything Sucks- Reel Big Fish13) When I Come Around- Green Day14) I Don't Wanna Be A Soldier Mama- John Lennon15) Another Generation- Fishbone16) The Time They Are A Changin'- Bob Dylan17) Little Girl- Death From Above 197918) White Wedding- Billy Idol19) Chemical Warfare- Dead Kennedys20) Sea of Sorrow- Alice in Chains21) Fire Woman- The Cult22) Attitude- The Misfits23) Hermanita- Aventura24) Pet Sematary- The Ramones25) Sonic Reducer- Dead Boys26) Buffalo Soldier- Bob Marley27) Entre Dos Aguas- Paco de Lucia28) Seeing Double at the Triple Rock- NOFX29) In Too Deep- Sum 4130) Santeria- SublimeDownload (Part 1)Download (Part 2)

Here's Otkroveniya Dozhdya, a Russian band whose name I can't remember for shit. These guys play a melodic style of funeral doom.MyspaceDownload
Fen's basically one of those proggy black metal bands that sound like Enslaved. Nothing really special but I'd put it in my favorite albums this year so far.
1) Exile's Journey2) A Witness to the Passing of Aeons3) Colossal Voids4) As Buried Spirits Stir5) The Warren6) Lashed by the Storm7) BereftMyspaceDownload
You know those folk bands that make albums with five 10-minute songs that are super epic and awesome as hell? Yea? Finsterforst's one of those bands. Imagine Moonsorrow with a little bit more of a black metal edge and more folk instruments...oh yea, and German instead of Finnish.
1) Urquell2) Das große Erwachen3) Seines Glückes Schmied4) Sturmes Ernte5) UntergangMyspaceDownload
So I'm finally back to the underground albums. This time we have Warbreed from Argentina. Simply put, melodeath that'll be kicking your ass for an hour. You can thank my recent interest in WWI and WWII for this. This album specifically follows Germany and the Soviet Union in World War II.1) The Hidden Legacy2) Nightfall Over Auschwitz3) Sippenhaft4) Алый Снег (Blood-Red Snow)5) Silence and the Beast6) The Forging [of Glory and Decay - Part I]7) The Hour Of The Wolf [of Glory and Decay - Part II]8) Farewell Germania [of Glory and Decay - Part III]9) The Spandau Enigma10) A Little Lesson Of History11) The Homecoming12) Another Unknown Soldier13) Rotterdam In Flames14) Bound For Ultima Thule15) Rendition of The TruthMyspaceDownload
Short Sharp Shock is one of the key bands in the sudden surge of retro thrash. Imagine a darker Municipal Waste and you've got SSS.
1) The Dividing Line2) Oil and Water3) The Bastard Stench4) Waiting Game5) Toxic Bee6) Thrash With A Small Moustache7) Can't Burst the Bubble8) Bored9) Invertebrate10) Purple Reign11) Hammerhead12) Sk8+Destroy13) Ride the Best-Fuck the Rest14) Flick the Switch15) Time's Up16) Street Leech17) Cherry Island18) 3.0619) Last Defence20) Unrest in the NorthwestMyspaceDownload
In order to save time, I'm only uploading stuff to Mediafire now. Whenever you see a download link without the site next to it, assume it's Mediafire.
Once again, I'm posting material made by a friend of mine. My buddy Arafat lives in Bangladesh and is the vocalist for two bands: Auflader and Zero Burn. Auflader is a melodeath project, whereas Zero Burn is deathrash with a hint of groove. Both bands are totally awesome!1) Deathlike Silence- Auflader2) Reign- Zero Burn
