Goreaphobia- Omen of Masochism




When you think about it, this band's name doesn't really make sense. Fear of gore? Don't they like gore? Wouldn't Goreaphilia make more sense? Anyways, this band is like a rawer Morbid Angel or Nocturnus. None of the synth or avante garde grandeur, but lots of groovy earth heaving rhythms, diabolical, bassy tremolo picking, and keening interdimensional solos reminiscent of the great Trey Azagthoth.

Afterlife- Surreality




Here we have Surreality, the one and only album by Indiana's own ethereal death metal act Afterlife. This album sounds like the album that should have been between Death's Spiritual Healing and Human. The songs are made up of violent, detuned, Stockholme-flavored death metal, infused with slow, melodic leads, awkward prog tinged riffs, and pleasantly prominent bass that brings Atheist to mind. One listen to "Divine Enlightenment", in my opinion the standout track of the album, should show you what I'm talking about.
