[Russia] Afterburner: Brutal Death

    Afterburner are a very progressive brutal death band utilizing various harsh vocal styles, melodies, fantastic classic solo work, while at the same time still delivering a completely brutal and devastating album. Plus it helps that the samples used throughout the album are top notch. http://vk.com/afterburner_group

Song recommendations: Entire "Dawn of Enthrallment" album

[Australia] Beyond Mortal Dreams: Death Metal 

    Beyond Mortal Dreams is a brilliant modern death metal band. Not relying heavily on blast beats, the band instead delivers straightforward heavy as hell death metal riffs and mind-shredding guitar solos. Perfection. http://beyondmortaldreams.bandcamp.com/

Song Recommendations: Lamia, Dreaming Death, Beast of Damnation

[Denmark] Deus Otiosus: Death Thrash

    Dues Otiosus is the perfect band for any lover of the thrash or death genre. The guitar work and drumming are fast and technical, and the vocals will punch you in the face.Exactly what the doctor ordered. http://deus-otiosus.com/

Song Recommendations: Pest Grave, Anything off the "Murderer" album

[South Korea] Infernal Chaos: Melodic Death

    Infernal Chaos are everything young melodeath bands should strive to be. The band flawlessly combines cultural inspired melodies with melodic keyboard synths and absolutely bone crushing fast and heavy guitar work. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Infernal-Chaos/148142955248758

Song recommendations: This Stop is the Hell, For Your Miracle

[lndia] Demonic Resurrection: Blackened/Melodic Death

    Demonic Resurrection has an impressive back catalog, but they really caught my eye with their recent release of "The Demon King". The band presents excellent symphonic atmosphere and structure in their songs, performing with melody and a high level of technical skill; practically forcing you head to bang!  http://www.demonicresurrection.in/

Song Recommendations: Trail of Devastation, Omega I, The Assassination

[Germany] Drowned: Death/Doom

    Drowned is a band that successful fuses the explosive riffs and technical ability of death metal with the atmosphere and song structure of doom metal. Light a doob and check out their album Idola Specus.  http://drowned.todeskult.de/

Song recommendations: Black Projection, Viscera Terrae, Antiprism 

[Chile] Death Vomit:  Old School Death Metal

Dark Tranquility, Insomnium, Valfreya, and Primalfrost @ The Opera House, Toronto (Jan 15, 2015)

       I have been waiting to see Dark Tranquility since I first heard the Damage Done and Character albums back when I was a young Yeti first developing my metal palate. Tonight I killed two birds with one metal stone as I witnessed Dark Tranquility and Insomnium tear the roof off the Opera House in downtown Toronto. The night opened up with a blast of power folk and black metal from local melodic demons Valfreya and Primalfrost. Despite minor technical difficulties, both bands performed brilliantly and proved masters of their crafts, perfectly priming the crowd for the headlining acts (even inciting a sword fight mosh pit at one point). Insomnium took the stage next, unleashing a hell storm of melodic death metal mastery. I was completely blown away by Insomium's technicality and stage presence, as every song they played forced my inner viking to come forth in the mosh pit. They opened with tracks off of Shadows of the Dying Son, but also played older classics like Unsung and Weighed Down With Sorrow. By the time Dark Tranquility took the stage the crowd was completely ready for what was about to happen. They played an unbelievable set, opening with The Science of Noise and some songs off Construct; also including some wicked back catalog tunes like Damage Done and Misery's Crown! Cheers to all the bands for such an unbelievable show /,,/. And as always cheers to the crazy dudes I clashed with in the pit! Check out a few pictures from the night below.
