Origin - USA

Genre - Technical Death Metal/Grindcore

"Holy Shiiiiiit....What the......Listening to BRAIN DRILL is an experience akin to that of having your face blasted off by a Shotgun!"

"This is Technical Death Metal of the sickeningly brutal variety,

Imagine, if you will, old-school CANNIBAL CORPSE brutally dissecting SPAWN OF POSSESSION and you’ve got a vague idea."

"Armed with ten tracks of mind-bending, technical savagery and good ole fashioned churning Death Metal, BRAIN DRILL’s debut is one of the sickest releases to ever assail my eardrums"

"Marco(ex-vital remains,Vile)has to be one of the 10 fastest

drummers in the world! This guy plays at speeds that would put most drum-machines to shame, and his mind-blowing array of fills and tricks really have to be heard to be believed.

Dylan Ruskin puts in a outstanding performance also, His serpentine runs and stop/start riffs strike an almost perfect balance between the head-scratchingly technical, and insidiously catchy.

5. Century Of Exploitation

6. Through Purple Woods And Ashen Plains

8. Into Oblivion

9. Venomous Blessings

Origin - Germany

Genre - Melodic Death Metal

" LAY DOWN ROTTEN is a German band that plays a kind of Melodic Death Metal that hasn´t left the heaviness and the brutality aside. This is their third album, but their style is basically the same they already played in their beginnings, some years ago. They are clearly influenced by Swedish bands such as DISMEMBER and old AMON AMARTH, mixing melody and heaviness with skill, but it also seems they haven´t forgotten the Death Metal Americans like so much, something you can notice in the rhythm of songs such as "Century Of Exploitation", which sound half way between VOMITORY and SIX FEET UNDER. The production is very heavy and well balanced. The songs are very powerful and never boring"

Morgoth - The Eternal Fall (1990) e.p.

1. Burnt Identity

2. Female Infanticide

3. White Gallery

4. Pits of Utumno

5. Eternal Sanctity

Origin - Germany

Genre - Death Metal

"The first thing that strikes you on the Eternal Fall tracks is the wild kick drum sound, not to mention its strong sonics. "White Gallery" is a superb work of technical death metal with scary, flick music type of cinematic passages, whilst "Pits of Utumno" is the epitome of death metal riffage, blending cluttered atmospherics with magical tapping harmonics."

"Morgoth were big fans of Death, so much is obvious when listening to their ‘Eternal Fall’ EP. The Schuldiner immitation by vocalist Marc Crewe was very transparent, hovering somewhere between ‘Scream Bloody Gore’ and ‘Leprosy’."

Classic old death metal at a time when the genre was just forming

10. Prolific Murder Contrivance

11. Underneath Rorulent Soil

Origin - Belgium

Genre - Brutal Death Metal

"This Belgium five-piece have gotten progressively more melodic and experimental with each release, and as a result, they've also polarized their fanbase, and made many longtime followers outraged. Their third full-length, 2003's "Goremageddon," was their first to flirt with melody (with the use of occasional melodic solos); and 2005's "The Archaic Abattoir" took experimentation a step further by adopting a crystal clear production, some "Heartwork"-style groove, and even a couple open-chord progressions. And now, two years later, Aborted have released their far and away most harmonic, innovative, and controversial release to date, 2007s very aptly Carcass-esque entitled "Slaughter & Apparatus: A Methodical Overture."

"Aborted is a lean, mean bonecrushing machine. Slaughtered & Apparatus: A Methodical Overture will appeal to more than just grind fans"

"The album is a relentless barrage of lightning fast blast beats and furious guitar riffs. The songs are a maniacal mix of grindcore and technical death metal. The band's technical skill and musicianship gets better and better with each new release. Although the music is extreme and brutal, Aborted also adds melody and some catchy riffs to make the songs very memorable. "

"This supergroup is formed by Niklas Sundin of the mighty Dark Tranquillity on the guitar, and most of Swedish rockers, The Provenance"

"Laethora is a difficult band to categorize, treading the lines between doom, death, black, and thrash. Maybe characterization isn’t necessary; a simple “Heavy F-ing Metal” will suffice. March of the Parasite is a satisfying disc if for those listeners that enjoy raw, visceral metal. "
