New single is fucking relentless!

That new song sounds pretty promising indeed! I've heard the band's debut but wasn't really impressed by it, though it's been a while since I've heard it.

One of the many bands on Profound Lore/Relapse/Prosthetic that I listen to and think, are they really doing anything unique? The single is pretty solid and ripping, but at the same time it feels like this style is reaching Cascadian Black Metal in 2012 levels of oversaturation. Maybe I'm missing something but it just feels like there are a thousand bands in the US alone doing this exact same thing with only the tiniest differences (OSDM but fast! OSDM but super slow! OSDM but slightly more technical!) and it's starting to wear me out.

I think it's that a lot of these types of bands are coming more out of the woodwork, especially with the mid 2010s having Blood Incantation and Tomb Mold leading the pack. This definitely has been a trend over the last few years, especially with many of the Cascadian bands being more-or-less dormant (I think that trend died when Agalloch broke up) and those still around are going darker in tone as well.

It's a trend, I think. I personally like the change as I was starting to feel like the tech-death boom was starting to meld together in a big whopping slab of weedlydeedlydoot, and it's nice to hear more bands being raw, aggressive and dark and barking up the Immolation/Incantation tree. Sure there will be a bunch that'll jump the bandwagon before things shift again, but it's up to us as listeners to find the cream of the crop. I think this is pretty gnarly.

Pre-ordered, such a sucker for this sound.

Another single is out:

while not drastically different i think the hardcore background shows through enough to make em stand out.

Actually, people have said we've more or less reached the point of critical mass with Incantation worship bands as well.

Isn't it weird how there weren't that many Incantation sounding bands until the last 10 years or so, and now it seems every third death metal band to come along seems to be an Incantation worship band?

The caveman riffs only crowd seems to like jocking Obituary, Autopsy, Bolt Thrower, and Benediction a bit more. Incantation was probably more around the middle of the past decade. Incantation is definitely an influence here, but this sounds nothing like them.

The full album stream is up:



This is definitely one of the most chaotic, discordant OSDM albums I've heard this year. There's something about the relentless and manic vibe that appeals to me, and the album doesn't overstay its welcome.

I'm liking this one a lot so far. A contemporary death metal album that's actually abrasive, aggressive and extreme. A nice change of pace from all the mid-tempo, caveman riff, death doom bullshit that has no business being as popular as it is.

Yeah, this is a huge step up. I liked Bestial Hymns of Perversion, but the caverncore production sucked a lot of potential impact out and it was a bit too beholden to bestial black tropes for its own good. This is just fucking mean. It's an absolutely cutthroat album and the increased OSDM elements give it a lot of extra meat and chunk that they were lacking before this.

Yeah it is a bit weird - like, why now, when Incantation isn't exactly a new band? Maybe a lot of younger bands just realized all at once that we need more SATAN in our death metal and Incantation and Immolation just sprang to mind since they aren't exactly new to that.

Anywho, back on topic - so far I'm digging this new album by Of Feather And Bone. Mother fucking savage.

I think as far as trend goes, this one is actually pretty cool. I mean, there's a ton of great death metal being released and that's what's really important. This album is really cool but so are Blood Incantation, Spectral Voice, Tomb Mold, Black Curse, Voidceremony... Even though their influences are pretty clear each band is also doing it's own thing. And that's just in the US, plenty of other great stuff everywhere else.

I don't know, everybody was complaining that trends were all "hipster garbage" or whatever because of Cascadian black metal and Alcest and now that there's a trend about a classical sound with tons of interesting bands people are complaining too. Guess people (myself included) just like to complain.

Yeah, this sounds good.. Definitely gonna pick it up.

I'd say the same about the trends in general. Is it really a problem if a certain sound/style is trending right now? As long as good music is being made, what's the big deal? If these tunes stick with you past the trends, I think it says a lot about where your tastes lie and how lasting said music actually is.

I'm all for death metal trending no matter how many bands are doing it. Can't get enough of it tbh and if some of them are mediocre those are the ones I won't revisit. No such thing as too much music in my eyes. This album is pretty awesome though. Gave it a quick listen the other day and was pleasantly surprised. Need to go back and check their previous work. This was my introduction

heard it yesterday and its a ripper.

Well put!



So I believe we can confirm that this record absolutely fucks.

Most people probably won't agree with me but this gave me so much immolation vibes I had no other choice but to pick it up. So damn fucking good
