Bolt Thrower - War Master (1991)
The intro to What Dwells Within gives me chills every time! It's magical!
 

Accidental Suicide - Deceased, Milwaukee, WI 1992
 
Abominant - In Darkness Embrace, Kentucky 1997
 

Nailbomb - Point Blank
An awesome if forgotten mix of pissed off thrash metal, groove, 1980s hardcore and industrial. 

Southern hard rock/metal band (Carolina) southern author, cynical comic novel about nihiism, lost faith and false prophets set in the deep south (Tennessee) makes perfect sense to me. Unless maybe you think southern metalheads can't read or something?  /s
 
I enjoyed it. I'd definitely put it in my top 20 death metal albums of this year so far. Can't really find fault with your assessment, but I'm not looking for originality. Just gimme 35 or 40 minutes of cool headbangable riffs and I'm a happy man. I'm not under any delusion that Vomitheist will go down as the greatest Swiss death metal band of the 21st century. I agree there's nothing happening here that Vomitory hasn't done better in the past. But a $5 death metal album like this is disposable to me in much the same way movies are. Play it a few times, enjoy it for what it is and next year I'll find another action film or another dm album to give me my next HM-2 fix. Shit, I can't even go out and get a quad flat white for $5 US, that'd be more like $7, and I wouldn't expect that to last me any longer than a death metal album. And unlike the flat white at least with this I can play it 10 - 12 times get my $5 worth out of it and then some. And seriously, this is still miles better than Megastaine album #14 or Iron Maiden album #15.
 
NP: Pungent Stench - Masters of Moral ~ Servants of Sin, Vienna Austria 2001
 
 

Throneum - The tight deathrope act over rubicon
 
This shouldn't work, but somehow I like it. This is now a second Throneum album I'm listening to and it's the same odd sound on this one. Kind of sludgy riffs, drumming is at the same time sharp and wild, vocals aren't typical death or black metal either. Overall it feels kind of proggy too. I don't understand half of what's going on, but I still like it.
 
Other bands that I've been listening to for the past 7 days aren't nothing surprising in my books. Lots of Graveland, Blood chalice, Förgjord, Inquisition, Clandestine blaze, Vomitory, Behexen and so on...

Amebix - No Sanctuary
Amebix - Monolith
Discharge - Hear nothing See nothing Say nothing 

Sodom - 'Til Death do us Unite (1997)
 

Haemoth - In Nomine Odium
 

Sarcófago - Hate
Its channels like this that make me wish I spent more time on Youtube and less on Bandcamp and Tidal
Death Metal Supply - YouTube
 

Caustic Vomit - Festering Odes to Deformity
Caustic Vomit - Eloquent Requiems of Necrotic Decadence
 

Mr. Bungle - Mr. Bungle (album)

Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous

Conclusion. Bugger, I rather like it.
CLARET ASH - Worldtorn: Anemois The good bits are good -  and that is most of it - but the acoustic track is just an excuse for someone to show he can play the piano. I've heard plenty of piano.
NP - MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA - Inner Mounting Flame. I haven't listened to this album for a few years. It's interesting to me to remember the hype and even criticism of Billy Cobham's drumming back in the day - he was an unprecedented overpowering rock noisemaker. Nope. He is a very adept but tidy jazz drummer well adapted to the rockier forms of this music.
But we could go again. where's your sense of fun.
