2019 has been the best year for death metal since 2018. We are living in the platinum age of metal. I was looking through my bandcamp today, and this was all released this year.
Here is my top 5.
2 of which came out today.5.
Chthonic Deity. It's only an EP, but this thing rips. The opening riff on track 1 is savory. If that doesn't hook you in, the rest of my list is not for you. Also, this the guy from Blood Incantation and Spectral Voice. So the CV is intimidating.4.
Ripped to Shreds. Another EP, but this band this lives up to it's name. Band.. I mean dude. It's just one dude. But it's not all rhythm section. Dude crushes some solos on the last track that could live on any rock record.3.
Blut Aus Nord. How do you say it? I dunno, though they've been in the game for a long while. He/they (depending on the record) tend to switch up sounds between albums. This more in line with his melodic black metal, similar to Saturnian Poetry. It's one of the longer records on this list too, but it still left me wanting.2.
Blood Incantation. Is the hype worth it? Yeah.1.
Obsequiae. Nothing else sounds like this band. I listened to the album once and woke up in full chain mail armor on the Fields of Evermore. This is some epic medieval shit. Love it. Album of the year.
