I think these guys will always be one of my favorite bands ever. Track 3 (The Morbidity Of White Pomegranate) reminds me of Pretty Soon Something Is Going To Change... by Norma Jean... it's not the same riff or anything, but it has a similar sludgy dissonance to it. I love it. In fact the whole album has a more subdued, darker, more dissonant sound than their older material. It seems these guys are starting to find their own sound as opposed to sounding like an awkward, if sweet, Envy clone.

UnderOATH - The Changing Of Times

I have a weird obsession with this album, something about it makes me want to dye my hair black (again). It could be because every song sounds intensely frantic enough that they could have very well been considered screamo if there wasn't a music video accompanying When The Sun Sleeps. To make things clear, I think they are screamo. They are definitely apart of that scene at least at that time. I only really enjoy this album thoroughly, mainly because the albums before this were too heavy and the ones after weren't. Anyways I think mappy could give a better description but he's a super duper dorky fanboy.

Hatcham Social - You Dig The Tunnel I'll Hide The Soil

Hatcham aren't new, but not too well known. Made a big blowout on the PS3 online network thing when they were signed to some sony label. Big deal? Well It's similar to the Jesus and Mary Chain in terms of slight fuzz and aesthetics. That's all. It's going up here because everything mappy posts is too noisy and evil, need to balance it out.

Thy Art Is Murder - Infinite Death EP (2009)
1. I'll Show You God
2. Whore To A Chainsaw
3. Parasitic Autopsy
4. Breeding Bacteria
5. Infinite Death
Thy Art Is Murder's second EP follows a similar style, but more technically, with tighter execution and 25% more mosh breakdowns. Less swamp creature gutturals, better standard death metal growls. Best/worst lyrics: Throw your fucking horns, your bitch is your disgrace, so bring it fucking wretch, your bitch is gonna get it. Bitch you're dead! Bitch you're dead! Bitch you're dead!
ERADICATION OF THEM ALL, WHORE TO A CHAINSAW, WHORE TO A CHAINSAW
Unfortunately, Brendan Van Ryn no longer screams for this band.
Thy Art Is Murder - This Hole Is Not Deep Enough EP (2007)
1. Like A Face To A Blender
2. Parasitic Autopsy
3. This Hole Is Not Deep Enough
Thy Art Is Murder is probably the best deathcore band from Australia, far far better than what The Red Shore turned into after Damo died. They sound like an Arizona dxc band with great harmonies, mad slams and a lot of sweeping. Mad swamp creature gutturals, Johnny Davy-esque mid range growls, and really shrieky high screams . Best/worst lyrics: You are the ugliest mother fucker I ever did see, you are the one who fucking bows to me.

Polaris - Belated
June Paik 10"

I remember there was a time when Last.fm reccs were enragingly inaccurate. Like, you like Through The Eyes Of The Dead, therefor you should listen to War For Ages type shit. Nowdays though, be lovin this shi. Maybe it's because my tastes have gotten better so it reccs me better music, I will ponder this.
Regardless, June Paik's a great freaking band. Think Orchid/Neil Perry worship, with tons of post-rock influence, and you get a visual of my jeans bursting due to excessive semen emission.
01. I
02. II
03. III

The Wakedead Gathering - Tenements of Ephemera
So far this is an extremely good start for death metal, this year. Band is loaded with Immolation and Incantation influence, and this dude, Andrew Lampe, somehow manages to play all of the instruments flawlessly... no drum programming, just some dude who can do everything needed to play badass death metal.
