10.	Welcome to N.J.	03:52
11.	Poltergeist	02:37

Nokturnel is an American death metal band from the early 90's that often gets over looked. Formed by Tom Stevens after his former band Savage Death (one of the earlier pioneers of death metal) bit the dust, Nokturnel blends high speeds with technical riffs to create some really fucking savage songwriting. It reminds me of the first Deceased album, as it's full of Voivod-esque riffs and ridiculously fast drumming. Check this out, any fan of early 90's death metal will dig this.

The Chasm - Farseeing The Paranormal Abysm (2009)

2009, Lux Inframundis

1.	Entering a Superior Dimension	08:23
2.	Callous Spectre/Vehement Opposition	08:27
3.	Fiery Rebirth	06:52
4.	Farseeing...	01:45
5.	Structure of the Seance	06:56
6.	Vault to the Voyage	11:13
7.	The Promised Ravage	06:38
8.	The Mission/Arrival to Hopeless Shores (Calling The Paranormal Abysm)	11:52

Most bands tend to lose direction and the original vision they had after three or so records. The Chasm, on the other hand, is one of those bands that has always stayed true to their sound, while at the same time writing music that's loaded with creative riffs, complex arrangements, and blistering speed. This is the band's seventh album, and in all honesty, I haven't stopped listening to it since I received it in the mail. Everything about this album is just pure metal - the riffs are pretty thrashy and quick with some pretty impressive finger work thrown throughout, not to mention some pretty bad ass solos. Neveyr heard The Chasm before? This is as good a place to start as any. The production is pretty clean without being polished, it sounds nice and big without anything being overpowering. Half the songs don't even have lyrics, but it doesn't even matter, the music says everything it needs too.

16.	Orgy in Excrements	01:57
17.	Voices	02:07
18.	Walls of the Coffin	01:19

The third Autopsy album sees the band playing more with shorter song lengths and punkier influences in their doomy death metal. This album, like "Shitfun", has some of their most disturbing lyrical content, and much like that album, gets overlooked by many fans. Highly recommended death metal from the masters!

20.	Burnt to a Fuck	03:46
21.	Excremental Ecstasy	03:16

Everyone always talks about the first two Autopsy full lengths, and often over look the last two the band put out before they originally broke up. Here we have their forth, and filthiest, album - "Shitfun". Here we see Autopsy wear their punk influences on their sleeve more than ever, while still retaining their death metal core with some doomy parts. Lyrically, this is probably the most disturbing Autopsy record, themed around sex, sadism, perversions, and death. Do not overlook this record! Personally, I feel Autopsy has never done a bad record, and this is no exception. Hail to one of the greatest death metal bands of all time!

Kerasphorus - Cloven Hooves at the Holocaust Dawn

2010, Nuclear War Now! Productions

2.	Aesoth Paradigm	04:32
3.	Disturb the Furthest Stars	03:38
4.	Swarm Intelligentsia	04:45

Kerasphorus is a new death/black metal band featuring the thunderous bass work and vile throat of Pete Helmkamp (Order From Chaos, Angelcorpse, Revenge), the militant drumming of James Read (Revenge, Conqueror, Axis of Advance, Cremation) and a guitarist who delivers some brutal riffs. Maniacs who want to hear the elements of the bands these other guys have been in thrown together with some death metal riffing, this will do the trick.

10.	The Rapture of Ghosts	05:19
11.	Power and Shame	03:44
12.	The Comfort of Cowards	05:52

Immolation have been going hard with their unique brand of death metal since the mid 80's. Their latest offering proves to be one of their best records in years. Where many fans have critiqued "Harnessing Ruin" for it's simple song structures and "Shadows In The Light" for it's hollow/modern production, "Majesty and Decay" takes us back to the albums preceding those ones, both in the song writing department and production. Trademark Immolation riffs roll out with their unique sense of rhythm and bizarrely evil touch of melody.

Here is Deceased's first full length offering, and their most death metal oriented release, before they started adding more heavy metal elements to their music. This album is really barbaric and blunt, but contains some really great songs that have punk-esque hooks that are sure to remain in your head (see: "Haunted Cerebellum").
