(1988-2016) A Canon of Brutal Death Metal

This is a somewhat daring post because, although all of the posts here are somewhat based on subjectivity, this time it might be a problem. Some of you might find it highly useful, while for others it might prove completely worthless. Nevertheless I decided to compile my all-time-favorite Brutal Death Metal records mostly based on times listened. The final list is in alphabetical order since this is not a ranking among the listed releases. So I hope you enjoy scanning through it.

(2004) Imperial Sodomy - Demolished

This band's debut record is already featured on the blog, but their sophomore release is just as good, that's why it landed up here, too. Also the line-up is worth mentioning: it features Romain Goulon (of Disavowed/Arsebreed/Necrophagist fame) as well as members of Devilium.

(2000) Coffee Grinders - Grindcore Brothers 2000

So this is an unusual post for this blog since the band is rooted in the Goregrind scene (being a spinn-off of Poland's famous Dead Infection). Nevertheless I felt like it qualified music-wise since, well, it's fucking brutal. So I hope you'll enjoy it!

(1994) Crimson Thorn - Unearthed

And god was like: "Oh you really wanna do this Glen Benton?! Alright then, it's fuckin' on!" Sorry for this cheesy piece, but yeah, Deicide/Pyrexia influenced brutality here.
