It definitely sounds like one of those things you keep hearing in movies. I've read somewhere that showers being rape city ("don't drop the soap, heh heh heh") is another misconception because inmates are always supervised when they shower, so it simply doesn't happen.
Would’ve been cool to see GBK. That kind of black metal isn’t my style but they have good riffs. Also, the absolute state of “metal forums”. Part of the reason I’m here on the kiwifarms now is because I was banned from an Iron Maiden fan forum that I had been posting on for 14 years. Politics, if you can believe it.
I saw Municipal Waste (for the third time) and Cannibal Corpse (first time) last night. I caught a bit of Fulci at the start of the show and thought they were just OK. There were some good riffs occasionally but I thought the guitars were tuned too low and the mix too muddy. My taste in death metal is: if it sounds like Obituary, Carnage or Baphomet (New York), I’ll probably like it. The further you stray from that, the less likely I am to enjoy it.
Afterwards was Full of Hell and full stop that was one of the worst shows/performances I have ever seen. It was offensively bad. Dreadful mix of “brutal death metal” and what sounded like deathcore. I only heard 2 drum beats I like. Vocals, guitars and bass were just terrible. These guys that go on stage and just scream their heads off don’t understand a few very key things about music. ANYONE can go on stage and get emotional and scream and have this moment were they’re letting it all out, but the real skill in making death metal like that is actually reeling it back and putting it a package that, well, quite frankly, sounds good.
I think of all the greatest death metal albums I’ve ever heard in my life: For Victory, Cause of Death, Horrified, The Dead Shall Inherit, Nightmares Made Flesh, Dark Recollections, Retribution, Left Hand Path, etc., they all did that - made an emotionally effective piece of music in a digestible package. My point here is Full of Hell sucked majorly.
Municipal Waste was good. Truthfully my tastes/sensibilities has shifted slightly away from the “party thrash” stuff but they still have riffs and songs I liked. CC actually surprised me. They don’t really have one complete full length album that I like from start to finish. I think maybe Eaten Back to Life, Tomb, The Bleeding, or Bloodthirst was the closest I ever got to enjoying a full length from them. But they were solid live. Loved hearing Evisceration Plague live. Scrounge of Iron and Stripped/Hammer Smashed Face were awesome too.
My favorite from them, Sentenced to Burn, hasn’t been played live in about ten years, which is unfortunate. That one should make a return to their sets.
I discovered Razorback during a formative part of my life when I was balls deep into any grindhouse movie I could get my hands on and soy’d out at every sample and reference.

I too enjoy knowing what things are. I've been trying to sample some newer stuff that might scratch the same itch and it's not going especially well. Fulci seems pretty lame but that song with rapping is worth checking out if you need a hearty laugh. Druid Lord is like a poor man's Hooded Menace.
On the bright side, the new Hooded Menace seems really good after one listen. And it's time to admit that I'm not too smart to enjoy Mortician.
You know, I feel very similarly. I came to terms with myself being a closeted Mortician fan about 5 years ago. Definitely one of those bands where I don’t feel like they have a full length I enjoy start to finish, but they have a handful of songs I love.
When the guitars come in for the first time in Rabid, for my money, that’s about as good as death metal gets.

For a moment I thought that Battle Beast were doing a course correction on Steelbound, but it seems it's still the same soapy, cheesy garbage they have been churning out for a couple of albums now. As for the new, Sabaton seems to be too much mid-tempo and too similar soundings tracks. But after Carolus Rex it's been going downhill, so not that surprising. Will give both albums a thorough listen when I have time.
No, just hoping the band might turn it around at some point. I really like Noora's singing, I feel her talents are wasted with the stuff they have been putting out after Anton left.
