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 <I>"ClandestIne"I> than <I>"Left hand path"I> (Itsatrap.com/mp3.php?t=667">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 <I>"Left hand path"I> 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.
