Pretty much the only thing I really feel like listening to these days is old-school death metal. Well, that and Elmo, but we'll revisit them at another time. I'm not particularly angry or anything, I just like the way it sounds, especially when it's played in its rawest, more purest form. No blazing blastbeats, no overcooked technicality, just pure sickness -- that's what Tyrant is all about. Their debut LP (today's mp3 is the title track) is actually a couple years old now, but I only just recently got into 'em so it's new to me and perhaps maybe new to you too. Not that it sounds "new", but that's precisely the point! It's a perfect tribute to old masters such as Hellhammer/Celtic Frost, Autopsy, Venom and so on, infused with the classic tones that Sweden is known for. Fitting that the members of the band are all old heads too; so many youngsters seem to miss the point or refuse to take it seriously. These dudes have their hearts in it, that's for sure, and they know exactly what they're doing. "This is the rebirth, reclaim the flame! It's time to raise the dead!" Hell yeah.
Tyrant - The rebirth... (reclaim the flame)

Repost! This song deserves top placement again, not just because m/store/product.php?productid=612">I just received copies of their CDEP for resale, but simply because it needs to be heard. I think these dudes are one of the biggest potential breakthrough acts of this year, so listen up! Oh yeah, and glad midsommar!
