[QUOTE="demondave:1082322"]41. R.U. Dead? [GER]- Promotape [1992] Okay, I know the band name is ridiculous, but just trust me on this one. This was a full-length demo and never saw a proper release, but it's one of the most astounding slabs of death metal I've ever heard. The band was formed by Uli Hildenbrand after the dissolution of Poison and continued largely along the same track, with a more refined sound that seamlessly merged Teutonic thrash with Autopsy-style doomy death, while also blazing a trail with sprawling compositions [two of the songs on this record approach 9 minutes] and classy guitar interplay. In a lot of ways, this band laid the blueprint for bands like The Chasm and Dissection. A true classic lost to time. http://www.mediafire.com/?mwbd0jmtgfm 42. Internal Decay [SWE]- A Forgotten Dream [1993] To me this is like a rich man's Phlebotomized. Harmonic Swedish death metal with atmospheric synths featured throughout. Comparisons can be drawn to early Katatonia and Gorement. The second song "Repossessed Throne" is a true stand-out. 43. Abominog [USA]- Chaos Unleashed [1995] It should come as no surprise that this album sounds more than a little like early Deceased. King Fowley was the band's drummer for a time, and intended to put out one of their earlier releases on his label. This is pretty simple, thrashy death without much subtlety involved. But if what you seek is more material in the vein of Luck of the Corpse you can't really do much better than this. 44. Fallen Christ [USA] - Abduction Ritual [1996] Somewhere between the raw, primal barbarity of Blasphemy and the sophisticated dark death metal of Immolation lies this strange album, featuring the drumming of Alex Hernandez who would later join the aforementioned Immolation for three albums. The short songs [most are under 2 minutes] suggest a prevalent grind influence, but I frankly don't hear it. If anything, this record takes the bizarre, angular riffage of Here in After and serves it up in little bite-sized chunks. 45. Natron [ITA]- Bedtime for Mercy [1999] Another entrant from the disgustingly underrated Italian scene, Natron have somehow managed to go almost completely unnoticed on the international stage, despite sporting a pretty unique sound that blends the barbaric, blasting deathgrind of Assück [perhaps a hint of early Kataklysm with Voivod's discordance. The latter's influence is especially prominent on this album, which features a terrific cover of "Nothingface". 46. Astomatous [USA]- The Beauty of Reason [2006] This band features Lev and Nicolas of Krallice but the music here is actually quite good, combining elements of later Gorguts, Anata and even a bit of Godflesh. The songwriting is a bit too noodly at times, but the foundation is solid, and if they ever release a follow-up, it'll be sure to be great. 47. Orgone [USA]- The Goliath [2007] To the untrained ear, this will probably sound like another vapid wank-fest, not unlike Brain Drill, but this is actually a very engaging listen. The guitar pyrotechnics and mathcore rhythms are complemented with significant infusions of sludge and post-rock atmospherics. And the melodies aren't just rigid, mechanical scale runs, but actually feature compelling motifs. The closest direct comparisons would be The End of Nothing, Son of Sulphur and Everything is Fire. 48. Putrevore [SWE/ESP]- Morphed From Deadbreath [2008] This lumbering sludge monster of an album is a collaborative effort between the ubiquitous Rogga Johansson [Deranged, Ribspreader, Demiurg and more other bands than I care to remember] and Dave Rotten [Avulsed, Christ Denied, Repulse, Xtreem]. The obvious point of reference here is Rottrevore, whom I actually think these guys surpass, but there's also quite a bit of Carcass, Impetigo and Convulse in their sound. 49. Vengeful [CAN]- The Omnipresent Curse [2009] One of my favorites among a glut of great death metal releases from 2009, Quebec's Vengeful offers up a refreshingly aggressive brand of technical death metal that actually has balls to rival those of the genre's heyday. They don't fuck around with upper octave noodling, preferring to keep things low and harsh. The first seven songs here are solid, comparable to Spasme and more recent Sinister but the finale "Transcending" is the real treat, clocking in at a tick over 21 minutes and managing to stay compelling throughout. Perhaps the most ambitious death metal song in history, including guest vocals from the legend Luc Lemay.[/QUOTE]
