See that Body Harvest is exactly the type of death metal I can't get into. Though I am now starting to enjoy some death metal, I have little interest in vocals that are impossible to understand. I have been finding a lot of interesting bands I can get into lately the more i listen.
Couple of recent favorites that I want to share with this thread.
Fleshgod Apocalypse This is one of my new favorite death metal bands for their fantastic mix of epic symphonic elements with opera, piano, and grand themes. Both of these albums have
New 2019 album
Prior 2016 album
Two other death metal bands bands that have grabbed me recently are Psycroptic and Gorod, whom I was able to see live recently despite one band being from France and one from Tazmania. They have a technical aspect to their music behind the vocals and interesting enough vocals that they engage me.
And another - Immolation's latest album has pulled me in as well. There is a lovely grind to the music while having interesting enough riffs that it keeps things interesting. They are playing in San Diego in October and I'm excited to watch and see how crazy the crowd gets.
The drummer alone has my head spinning. Amazing musicianship all around, technically precise, groovy as hell and brutal AS ALL GET OUT (bringing that phrase back, suckers!).
it's been a while since a metal release grabbed me, but I have completely fallen for the latest from The Faceless. 'In Becoming a Ghost' was released two years ago, when I thought I was over my tech-death phase, but apparently not. This is a great blend of melodious clean vocals (imo michael keene, the guitarist/innovator of the band, is really shining as a singer now too) and sharp guitar work, with the yelling and high-energy riffs charging in and out as needed.
