MP3: Necrovation - Dead faith's purulence
I don't listen to nearly as much death metal as I used to, but when I do, I'm almost always reaching for something that appeals to the old-school. Coffins from Japan are a standout and of course the new Bloodbath is totally solid even if it is more "Clandestine" than "Left hand path" (as stated before), but there's also a bunch of far more underground acts worth mentioning and Necrovation is one of 'em. I'm sure I'm missing a lot too, so feel free to leave me suggestions in the comments. Anyhow, these Swedes play filthy death metal exactly the way I like it: Sunlight guitar tones, drums that sound like drums, phlegm-heavy vokills buried deep in the mix and tons of groovy breaks. It's got the melodicism that made the aforementioned "Left hand path" a genre landmark, but it's also got the basement-quality grunginess of Autopsy, another death legend. I still dig some tech stuff now and again, for instance the new Cynic is more than decent, but I think I'll always prefer my metal to be dirty and antisocial. No trends, no poseurs, much love.
