I just want to celebrate my favourite two death metal bands - particularly their incredibly strong and consistent on output over many decades. Neither band ever hit the Big time but they just ploughed their furrow, creating fiery, tempestuous death metal that never lets you down and is always subtly expanding its vision. Everyone knows the original Classics but I would love to just bring some love and illumination to 2 later albums, the doomy, dark as night Vanquish In Vengeance by Incantation and the smouldering and mindblowingly consistent Atonement by Immolation. Would be great to hear favourite albums, particularly less known ones and just people’s opinions on these vintage death metal bands.

Hello,

I've released the sophomore record of the one-man prog-death band Dog in the Burning House. The album was written, recorded and mixed in Istanbul and Ottawa over the course of 6 years. It is heavily influenced by Strapping Young Lad’s City, mixed with influences from dissonant death metal outlets such as Ulcerate and Deathspell Omega, and a small taste of the insanity of The Dillinger Escape Plan and Meshuggah. Above all, I wanted the record to be fun to listen to from start to end. Therefore, the focus is on riffs that are fun to play and listen to over meandering atmosphere and explorations.

The songs Risus Sardonicus and Remembrance are good examples of the overall music here if you would like a lead. The intro song Remembrance is about picking up guitar after a long period of not playing and is comprised of three parts, starting with a more melodic opening, leading to a groovy riff that alternates between 3/4 and 4/4 and closing with an explosive dissonant section.

Risus Sardonicus marks the midpoint of the album. It starts with a high tempo riff, progressively becomes slower and groovier and finishes with a The Dillinger Escape Plan style riff over a Winston Churchill sample.

Lyrically, the theme is about being stuck and in between two worlds. It is about not being able to move on or being able to understand whether to want to move on. It is also about carrying the weight of an old world after moving on. Most of the music and lyrics were written during a time when I was a doctor in a COVID clinic in Istanbul, trying to land a PhD position abroad so there is a bit of that too.

Below are the links to the album in major streaming platforms and Bandcamp. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Looking for bands with a similar sound to Dragged Into Sunlight. I’ve only delved into Portal which I know aren’t too similar but I feel like kinda coincide with them nicely.

Thanks!

I love the sound of this album, the absolute crushing weight of it all and I'm craving more. I also just want to get into more Doom Metal as it's a genre I haven't really delved into much.
