You never see this anywhere, though that may be because they have some stupid political affiliations that prevent them from reaching a certain amount of exposure. The first thing to come into my head is Grand Belial Keys - Mocking the Philanthropist.
Most of the stuff I’d call underated amongst peers are probably revered as classics by some of this sites blog readers! If we’re talking pure METAL I’d have to name check Xentrix.įalling Cycle - Conflict (Unfortunately no longer together) They still have a myspace page though Sheesh, that’s a tough one so I’ll have to name a few recent listens at random… Acrimony “Tumali Shroomaroom” (UK stoner classic), Saidiwas “All Punk Cons” (great Swedish Umea HC/indie), Stressball s/t (Noo Orlins sludgecore), Discharge “The Beginning of the End” (they come back with a recording like that in 2004 and it doesn’t even hit the radar…). You probably already have these but I still think they deserve mention:Īntischism-Still Life (favorite 90’s hardcore record)ĭestruction-Infernal Overkill (best of the “early” black metal)įinal Fight-Under Attack (a modern day classic of melodic hardcore)īeyond ‘No Longer At Ease’ - so fucking good and the most interesting NYHC record in my opinion, but people don’t know it like they know a lot of other much less interesting bands. One band I never hear anyone talk about: Dead Blue Sky. I would have said Atheist ‘Unquestionable Presence’ or Cynic ‘Focus’ back in ‘93 or something but those bands eventually got their due credit to some extent. Probably Anacrusis ‘Screams and Whispers’. Venom “The Wastelands” - Seriously hook-laden thrash from an era that some Venom fans have long forgotten. Mitra “All Gods Kill” - Bottom-heavy Texan sludge straight from former Wrath frontman, Kurt Grayson.

Holocross “Holocross” - Insane speed & riffing, plus sinewy vocals that really set this band apart from alot of their contemporaries. Listen & be amazed…ĮXE “Stricken by Might” - Prob similar to what Slayer may have sounded like in 1982 but packing an assload more melody & atmosphere. And I got their CD for a penny on Amazon.ĭestruction “Least Successful Human Cannonball” - Unfairly slagged by Schmier purists who believe this lineup was total shit. NO ONE knows who this band is, but they’re one of the most amazing sort-of melodic death bands I’ve ever heard. And speaking of things you’ve already posted about, if you haven’t heard the recent stuff from Parlamentarisk Sodomi, it blows every grindcore release from the past five or so years straight out of the water. Acme’s “To Reduce the Choir to One Soloist” is legendary in the right circles, but that whole Acme/Mörser/Carol/Systral et al school of German metalcore never got its due credit in my humble opinion (though that Keitzer band you posted about a while back seems to be flying the flag well). As the Sun Sets’ “Each Individual Voice Is Dead in the Silence.” Definitely not the most underrated of all time, but it’s the first thing that springs to mind.
