Nocturnus - The Key [1990]
[8.5/10]


old tech death from florida
this is some nutty shit
little noodly guitar solos thrown about everywhere
with gnarly speed riffing throughout
classic for death metal fans
and anyone a fan of the florida death scene

Kalmah - Swampsong [2003]
[9/10]


all i know is that if COB can be as popular as they are
these guys should be gods
finnish melo/power death
and it fucking slays

if anything throws you off about this album it'll likely be his voice
if so, check out The Black Waltz, voice is much more gutteral

2 - Burbot's Revenge

Gojira - From Mars To Sirius [2005]
[7.5/10]


i guess you can call this death
but some goove and grind/thrash in here too
actually really like the vocals on this one
and the guitar is unique
french - where metal grows on trees

2 - Backbone
6 - The Heaviest Matter Of The Universe

Carcariass - Killing Process [2002]
[8/10]


this will fuck yer brains out
tech death from france
at least the french are good for somethin
not a lot of lyrics -
this shit is fast, brutal and melodic
