The albums pictured are as follows
Ordh - Blind in Abyssal Realms
Immolation- Descent
Invictus - Nocturnal Visions
Frozen Soul - No Place of Warmth
Vomitory - In Death Throes
The first two are almost certainly top 10 albums of the year caliber for me.
These posts are always weird. There are so many talented artists out there who deserve to be mentioned. These are really just five vocalists I feel should be mentioned based on their incredible performances over the course of their careers. I’d like to hear your selections as well.
Barney Greenway (Napalm Death) - Barney sounds like he’s actually possessed by a legion of demons. I don’t know if anyone else sounds as ferocious and imposing as him. The juxtaposition of his voice with his physical appearance only adds to it.
George Corpsegrinder Fisher (Cannibal Corpse) - He’s super consistent on every record he’s ever made. His vocals are super aggressive and he’s basically the standard against which all other death metal vocalists are judged in my opinion.
Ross Dolan (Immolation) - Immolation is the most consistent band in death metal. They’ve never dropped a record that wasn’t awesome and Ross Dolan is a huge part of that. His voice sounds like earth being torn open to swallow you alive. It’s like an unstoppable force crushing everything in its way.
Paul Kelland (Ulcerate) - Ulcerate are at the forefront of Dissodeath and they get a ton of well deserved attention for their instrumentation. I think Kelland’s vocals are perfect and really suit the music. He sounds simultaneously aggressive and composed in a way very few vocalists manage.
Johannes Persson (Cult of Luna) - Cult of Luna has a huge sound and you need a huge roar to anchor that sound. Persson provides this in spades. His Final Light project with Perturbator is super cool too.
I’m getting into brutal death metal and these are the bands I’ve primarily been listening to. Please give me some other bands to listen to and if you feel like explaining why certain bands are superior that would be appreciated too.
