I am aware that BandCamp isn't as reliable anymore because it is owned by another company. I'm in the process of downloading these because a lot of them will be fairly underground and hard to find.
One of the best and most influential early grindcore projects in the scene. The mix is perfect, the band is tight and energetic, and the entire album feels cohesive but still has its surprises.
Rebellious Oblivion(My Sibling)'s Thoughts: "Introduced the Black Pague. 19/19"
Skinwalker - Man Walks Backwards into the Ocean
Modern powerviolence/hardcore/noise/honestly fairly genreless release. This is possibly the most edgy that music can possibly get while still being coherent. it hurts my ears. ten out of ten. :)
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS BAND. I FEEL LIKE IM GOING INSANE. IF YOU LIKE ANY SORT OF METAL, ESPECIALLY DEATH METAL, YOU WILL LIKE THIS. GUARANTEED.
This project describes itself as "SLAMMING TRANSSEXUAL GROOVE", so obviously it's good. If you like really clean production in slam, you might not be a fan, but I REALLY like the samples and the grooves on this one. The mix kinda reminds me of PHARMACUTICAL HOMOCIDE (yeah thats a real band name) and the trans themes are an obvious plus
Spotify absolutely sucks when it comes to copying names down...and everything else actually. I really need to just download everything. Anyways this band is like thrown or Knocked Loose if they were heavier and a little more experimental. Hardcore and metal is a classic combination and you'd think everything would be done already by now. But this has so much flavor! And it sounds really brutal at the same time!!
Suffocation - Hymns From the Apocrypha
So this was before my time but Suffocation was killing it in the 90s then kinda fell off? with some of their 21st century material? But THIS. THIS! is what I like from modern death metal. It sounds absolutely GIGANTIC and CRUSHING and it's technical and brutal at the same time and just so effective. Also has a rerecording of a song from Breeding the Spawn, now in spectacular 4K (meaning an actual audible mix). This band ABSOLUTELY still is capable of making AMAZING music.
