Melt Banana and Discordance Axis are just amazing. Have you seen the Discordance Axis DVD? It probably the most intense brutal thing ever. Jon Change put all singers to shame on it. If you haven't yet, check out his new band 'Gridlink'. It sounds like Vio-lence on crack and amphetamines. 'Swarrrm' from Japan are another great one.
Also check out 'Mindflair', a highly underrated Crust Grind band from Germany

Not yet man but i've been after that dvd for ages, i'll check out his new band for definite.

Another underrated German grind band are Keitzer, fooking amazing and the tightest live band i ever saw.

I think this forum might be due a Grind thread, really. I really want to expand my grind collection. It's not all for me but Terrorizer, Repulsion and Brutal Truth are all fucking excellent.

On topic, I really haven't checked enough Brit death to vote fairly. Carcass are awesome. It took me a while to move from thinking Necroticism was pretty cool to a truely premium DM album but I love it for the sumpremely crafted riff-fest it is now. Napalm Death are one of my favourite bands ever but I do not really consider them Death Metal. Some of the stuff is but not the stuff I really know (I have Scum, FETO and all their albums since Enemies of the Music Business - I know that's a big fucking gap but what can you do?) and so as a DM band I don't think I should vote for them. ENT did one DM album and, as far as I have been told, it was an ill-advised diversion. Besides that I'm pretty ignorant. So:

Benediction - that was Barney's band before Napalm, yes? Are they any good and where's a good place to start?
Bolt Thrower - only heard a bit of them. Didn't blow me away. Solid but that was it. I take it they are beyond solid due to people's excitement over them. Any recommendations of where to start?
Gorotted - Heard some tracks. I thought they were pretty good but I didn't proper love it. Saw The Rotted live (supporting Napalm) and was actually very impressed. Never got the album but was tempted after that.

Benediction - The Grand Leveller, Grind Bastard and Killing Music
Bolt Thrower - Realm Of Chaos, War Master, The IVth Crusade and ...For Victory
Gorerotted - Mutilated In Minutes...Severed In Seconds and Only Tools And Corpses

Do you like Killing Music? I think it's a bit of a boring album.

You're missing Those Once Loyal from the Bolt Thrower albums in my opinion. Its a great album and full of songs that would be classics live, if they played live enough.

one legged punk is right! THE ROTTED! OR GOREOTTED AS THEY WERE..
But TED MAUL are definately the sickest Death metal to come outta this shitty country for a longlong time! Whit Label, they're debut is sick. vbang out of order and produced by Fredrik Noordstrom too!

I fucking hate Ted Maul. Not because of their music but because they fucked about at bloodstock last year and pissed off everyone in our campsite.

So I pissed on their tent.

I was with two A&R people for that gig. Ted Fail.

Im not a fan of Ted Maul at all. Theres way too much hardcore elements involved for me.

I just thought it was complete shit

it's not even Death Metal...

Yeh... Same with The Rotted really.

We was with Ted in the camp site keepin you awake i'm afraid... haha... no stress about pissin on our tent... we couldn't even put it up properly and no one slept in it anyways... just tried setting it up for 5 hours during the middle of the night off our faces...
One of the complaints sent to Bloodstock was too funny!
They're good friends of us down in Laaaandan and I think they're wickla!
Hardcore/Drum n Bass/Death Metal... all good to me!

haha.. 'it's not even death metal' of course not.. silly me.. fuck's sake.
well.. looks like Ted are the Freshney of 'Not even fuckin Death metal' then huh..?
I thinks they piss on most bands.
Not Death metal bands tho obviously.

Ted Maul are total bollocks; an example of people trying to be 'extreme' and 'experimental' by mixing crap pseudo metal with drum and bass. I don't know why people feel that metal so desperately needs changing or 'updating'.

i'm all for change when it doesnt involve mixing 2 elements of music that i already don't like
