Right now I’m going to compose a list of what I believe to be criminally underrated or underground metal albums/bands. Not that you care.
Suffocation – Effigy of the Forgotten (Suffocation as a whole are underrated but this album is probably the best death metal album ever and it needs more appreciation.)
Wormed – Planisphaerium
The Lord Weird Slough Feg – Down Amongst the Dead Men and Traveller
Morpheus Descends – Ritual of Infinity
Defeated Sanity – Psalms of the Moribund and Prelude to the Tragedy
Immolation – Dawn of Possession and Here in After
Possessed – Seven Churches
Psychobolia – Fisting You All
Cormorant – Metazoa
Fleurety – Min Tid Skal Komme
Ved Buens Ende – Written in Waters
Wastelander – Wardrive
Solefald – Discography
Skinless – Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead
Demilich – Nespithe
Thorr’s Hammer – Dommedagsnatt
Warning – Watching From a Distance
!T.O.O.H.! – Rad a Trest
Mortician – Discography
Incantation – Discography
Malignancy – Intrauterine Cannibalism
Lymphatic Phlegm – Show-off Cadavers – The Anatomy of Self Display
Lair of the Minotaur – The Ultimate Destroyer and War Metal Battle Master
Darkthrone – Sardonic Wrath
Grayceon – Grayceon (Giant Squid just slightly more interesting, imo)
Fuck… I’m Dead – Bring on the Dead
Eternal Suffering – Drowning in Tragedy (One of the best slam albums ever, imo. Really defies the stereotypes.)
Dot[.] – Discography
Cyaegha – Steps of Descent
Coffins – Discography
Capricorns – Ruder Forms Survive
Bongripper – The Great Barrier Reefer
…and Oceans – A.M.G.O.D.
Reverend Bizarre – Discography
Panopticon – Collapse and Panopticon
There are more, but I don’t want it to stretch on any longer considering most people won’t give half these a chance. I love you if you at least try them though. I understand some stuff isn’t for everybody as extreme metal is a weird and harsh genre that shouldn’t be discounted of its art because of bad stereotypes it receives. Why the hell am I talking about this here and now? Just listen to this stuff and buy their stuff.
