Macabre's most recent release, now six years old, is just as entertaining as when it first dropped. Though they pretty much only play shows around the Chicago area, we can always look forward to them (one day, someday) playing at a festival outside of Illinois. High production value like "Dahmer," an even louder, sharper and violent sound than before, and even more humor, this is it. "Jack The Ripper" is a song comprised completely of a letter said killer sent to the London police. "The Wüstenfeld Man Eater" is about Armin Meiwes, the German cannibal who put a want ad in the newspaper looking for a young man to be eaten, also the subject of a song by Rammstein called "Mein Teil." "The Iceman" is about hired hitman Richard Kuklinski, a Polish guy who couldn't be made by the mob so he was just contracted instead. My favorites off this are "The Hillside Strangers," "The Iceman," "The Wüstenfeld Man Eater" and "Morbid Minister."

1993's Macabre breakthrough album "Sinister Slaughter," hard for many to access and a favorite among many others. A collection of songs about various killers, murderers, psychopaths and rageaholics throughout time from the Zodiac Killer to Richard Speck to Albert Fish and Charles Whitman. I do not have a single track on here I don't like, but my personal favorite is "Vampire Of Düsseldorf," about Peter Kurten, a serial killer from Germany who struck the hardest in 1929, killing a wide range of people from an 8-year old girl to a middle-aged mechanic and at least 7 others with 9 attempts at murder. He would stab most to death and said at his trial that it was purely of a sexual nature; that the excessive stab wounds on certain victims were because it took longer to achieve an orgasm. Anyways, the song itself has a catchy piano opening and the chorus is also by far the catchiest for me. "Sniper In The Sky" is about Charles Whitman, the man who killed 14 people at the University of Texas in 1966 from the tower and observation deck of an administrative building. I made sure to list which killer each song is about because they are each interesting reads. The album cover is a parody of The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club," with celebrities' heads replaced by notorious killers. One of my favorite album covers ever. Enjoy!

A musical biography of the life of Jeffrey Dahmer. Interesting, funny, morbid, and really good! For those who can appreciate a darkened laugh. Reading up on Dahmer a little can help while listening to this too, as some of the lesser-known references might register faster. Regardless, even if you have no interest in serial killers, Macabre is incredible and the "Sinister Slaughter" and "Murder Metal" albums will be uploaded soon too.

Baltimore, Maryland's pride, born from being former members of Dying Fetus, another local outfit playing similar tunes. Over the years Misery Index has gotten more experimental but have stuck to their typical formula for the most part, which is in no way bad. If anything they are faster, tighter and more brutal than ever. The production values have definitely risen and so have their abilities.

A rather huge departure from their previous album "Zos Kia Cultus (Here And Beyond)," strengthening their battery of fast, fast blackened death metal. Though already rather popular in the metal underground for that album, this one kickstarted another resurgence in popularity for the band.

There's a lot of people in the D.C.-area and Richmond and up and down the east coast that wishes this band never broke up. Tons of people still remember how insane Majority Rule shows were, whether they were playing the show with Darkest Hour, Pg99, City Of Caterpillar, Municipal Waste, whoever. Their music was a blend of extremely heavy with calming center to each song-- it was never quite heavy metal, never quite hardcore, never quite punk. It brought together an interesting audience and everyone went crazy for them whenever they played; the crowd was always whipped into a high-energy frenzy. They formed in 1996 and performed until 2004 with their second and last album, "Emergency Numbers," but "Interviews With David Frost" has something unforgettable about it and all these years after high school, I still blast this record every week.

The album that broke Sepultura through to many fans around the world and follow up to 1989's "Beneath The Remains." They had begun to experiment much more than before with sounds like classic Latin percussion elements, a more punk-ish edge and the pulsating sounds of industrial rock and metal that was gaining popularity at the same time around them. Not many Sepultura fans will choose other Sepultura albums over this one as their pick for the most ambitious and over all great release.

The blasphemous follow-up to their "Demigod," you can expect more extremely intense heavy-as-and-fast-as-hell Polish blackened death here. This is their first album to also chart on the Billboard 200, which depending on who you ask, is good or bad. They put out a music for "At The Left Hand Ov God," which these days is not unusual for a metal band really but for this particular style and genre, having one of such high production when you aren't Amon Amarth is rare. Many song titles refer to Jesus and the desecration of; "Rome 64 C.E." refers to the city of Rome during the time when it had supposedly burned during the Great Fire of Rome, where the apostle Peter and others died, which becomes the direct reference point for "Slaying The Prophets Ov Isa." Isa is the Arabic word for Jesus. "Pazuzu" is about the Babylonian mythological creature of the same name, representative of the southwestern wind, the bearer of disease. "Christgrinding Avenue" refers to the Via Dolorosa, the street in Jerusalem where Jesus carried his cross on his way to the crucifixion as noted in the Stations of the Cross. Enjoy!

The fifth live album by Judas Priest, and first since they reunited in 2003. They are in top form here, with great live versions of tunes like "Judas Rising," "Between The Hammer & The Anvil," "Eat Me Alive" and the epic "Painkiller." There are a few newer tracks on here, which in their defense, are the better songs off the disastrous "Nostradamus." This was released on July 14, 2009 and should motivate you to want to see them during this summer tour. Buy this then go buy concert tickets.

Death's final studio album, thought of as more of a progressive and experimental album than their previous releases with most songs averaging in at the 6-minute mark. It also contains the vastly different and very emotional instrumental "Voice Of The Soul," and their brilliant rendition of Judas Priest's "Painkiller," which shows vocalist Chuck Schuldiner pushing his vocal limits seemingly combining his own voice with that of Rob Halford's, and even throwing in a very unexpected and rare clean vocal ending (and not in a bad way at all). Although most would say without hesitation that "Symbolic" is better, this is still an incredible album to go out on before they released a live album in 2001 to raise funds for Chuck Schuldiner's brain cancer treatment.

The full title is actually "Astro Creep 2000: Songs Of Love, Destruction And Other Synthetic Delusions Of The Electric Head." Released in 1995, this album was a huge departure from their previous records and has a much heavier, much darker tone to it, also leaving behind the sleazy, mid-to-fast-paced rock 'n' roll metal sound that was present on 1992's "La Sexorcisto." "Astro Creep" had a more stable sound, a far more evil tune to it and the lyrics center more on the Satan, Hell, murder, zombies, and even drawing some inspiration from a movie called "Blade Runner," as presented on the Grammy-nominated "More Human Than Human."

This is coming out over a month before its street date, so understand the quality may be sub par and the ending sounds like it might have been cut off sooner than it is supposed to. I will certainly be buying this when it comes out August 11! If you liked Behemoth's previous two albums, you will most likely love this one too. It's right up the same alley with intense (tastefully) triggered drumming, demonic vocals and church-crushing guitar blasts.

When I hear this song in its highest quality, like with headphones on, I think it is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard in my life. You may disagree, but I will upload this whole album next so you know the glory of this band, album and specifically this song.
It took a very long time to realize it, but I've enjoyed not having a set goal for myself so much that I have forgotten I'm worrying about so much less right now. Worrying about dumb, petty things, still, naturally, but there's no gun in my mouth yet!

Sweden's Nasum recorded this album in Osaka, Japan on January 9, 2004 at Club Quattro and is the final nail in the coffin (hopefully) for the Nasum legacy. I have become rather bored of live albums over time but this is beautiful; Nasum, in about 25 minutes running time, are able to keep it intense sounding enough to keep your interest all the way through and accomplish what some bands take almost an hour and a half doing, or multiple albums even. The sound is crisp, Mieszko sounds pissed the way we like it and the band keeps it tight, and it makes you feel jealous that many of us here in the United States never got to see this in person as we intended following the success of "Shift."

Though not from this album, I couldn't find any other live tracks particularly from it... so here is a song that is featured on the album:
This album marked a big change in the direction for Immortal compared to their earlier albums as it had a "cleaner" sound and more a thrash one as well compared to the straight up lo-fi black metal they had been doing up to the previous album, "Blizzard Beasts." It was well-received by both old fans and critics alike and their next albums had similar sounds. They also have another one coming out later this year!

One of the greatest albums of the 90's, "The Philosopher" is probably one of if not the most well-known Death songs ever, with a music video and even a spot on "Beavis & Butt-head." More technical, experimental and sometimes jazzy compared to their earlier records; don't take that as a softening sound.

An absolute essential, classic metal album that has not been worn out since its release. Timeless pieces of art! The tempo is slightly slower from previous Death albums (I will upload a couple soon), but that does not mean this album isn't still fast; it's also one of the most well-crafted melodic death or thrash metal albums ever. Treat yourself to some of the sweetest sounding guitar riffs and solos at the hands of Chuck Schuldiner, as well as some of metal's smarter lyrics and the most mind-numbing fast and technical drumming from behemoth Gene Hoglan.

If you're not used to long songs or intros, give them a little time... it's worth it, and the opening guitar parts are all extremely beautiful.
From Wikipedia: It could be described as a concept album, as many of the tracks describe economical ways to dispose of dead bodies ("Pedigree Butchery", for example, proposes that dead humans be turned into pet food, "Carneous Cacoffiny" proposes to use human body parts as musical instruments and in "Inpropagation" human remains are used as fertilizer).
If you were young and read the lyrics, they just sounded confusing and foreign and "too smart," but as a much older person now... it's about the same. The musical direction is changed from their pretty straightforward grind sound to a more uniform death metal with some memorable guitar solos and the familiar grind sound still there. Incredible even after multiple listens in one session!
Michael Amott on guitar went on to form the much celebrated and incredibly dumb Arch Enemy (I'll admit I like their material up to "Burning Bridges"). Amott formed the band with Johan Liiva in 1996 after they disbanded Carnage in 1990, the other members of Carnage went on to make side awesome band Dismember a full on project.

I would be setting world records on the amount of crystal meth I'd be taking in if I lived in this area. Kudos to you suspender-wearing no-chins, for I couldn't do it. I love the country but not when it's also coated in places like Logan's and Outback-- ruins the landscape. I'd prefer a bunch of country and nothing than country and rednecks who think they are still living the country life. This is where weird sexual fetishes are born and civilization ceased creating culture. I feel I have stepped in light brown stuff that has more personality in the smear I make with the patterns on my shoes than this whole town had. I think I saw enough nature freaks with boots and colored tights for one weekend, too. Someone needs to filter this area's internet access.
ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL. I only have the original CD with eight tracks so I don't have the reissue tracks from the later releases but am working on purchasing or just downloading them later and putting them up if anyone wants them. This is ripped from my own CD so there is a SLIGHT possibility there will be a pop or skip, if you find one PLEASE let me know so I can upload a clean track as this isn't a hard album to find online.
Dissection is a fun band to read about, mostly due to their goofy former lead singer Jon Nödtveidt, who shot himself in the name of Satan inside a lit circle of candles on August 16, 2006.

Five songs that go in an even heavier, epic-sounding direction. There is a misspelling on this upload, but track 3 should be "Trialed By Fire," and not "Trailed By Fire." It was noticed post-upload. Sorry about that! While that song is being mentioned, think of it along the lines of Dissection's tune from 1995's "Storm Of The Light's Bane" -- "Thorns Of Crimson Death."

Finland's Rotten Sound bears a strong resemblance to bands like Napalm Death, Nasum's heaviest material and a faster Coldworker. An extremely fast grind-ish death metal band with extremely tight sound shows these guys aren't just beating around their instruments and competing with fruits who are using drum machines and Myspace rankings to get shows in their hometown. Nasum fans, who are all missing out due to Mieszko Talarczyk's death in Thailand in 2004 at the age of 30 in the tsunami, would be doing themselves a favor by at least listening to a song or two from these guys. They've been around since 1993 and only getting heavier, faster and filthier over time. The lyrics are heavily influenced by politics and the state of world affairs (naturally mostly the negatives!) but it would be strange to hear an anthem praising the Patriot Act from this band as well.

Japan's Sigh started as a black metal band; one of the first few in Japan, as most at the time were coming out of places like Norway and Sweden. They went in a more thrash and death metal sound through the 90's and into the 2000's they adopted a far more experimental sound, now often being labeled as "avant-garde." Their singer, Mirai Kawashima, has described the style of the music as a "German thrash-metal-meets-symphonies" style. The band added a second vocalist and saxophonist, Dr. Mikannibal, a female recruit. Samples from "Me-Devil" were used in the trailer for the documentary "Global Metal." Released on The End Records.
To the few of you have that do or have come here, I fixed some old links to files that went dead. Megaupload seems to be the only one holding up so most of the future downloads will be through them. If you know anyone better that keeps their files up for long periods of time, please give me a heads up. Just trying to get quality music out to people! If you have requests or suggestions, please email them to me as I'm always open to new ideas too.
New York City hardcore, thrash, youth crew, whatever.
