Most the bands at Slaugtherday could definitely do with more exposure. Dead Existence are awesome - slow, intense and heavy. Divine Chaos are good quality melodic-death-thrash, although I don't think they've released anything recently and I think they were covered after their last release. NoMade Sense were good if a bit miserable on stage. Pombagira were the musical equivalent of auto-eroticism. Most the other bands I think have been covered.

Besides Slaughterday bands others are Flowers of Flesh and Blood, Armed Response Unit (Jamie informed me of these bad boys) and Defcon Zero who I haven't seen covered despite being raucous punk. Cross-Stitched Eyes are another band who are fairly recent and did a tour not so long ago and have been disgracefully ignored. Witch Hunt are American but are awesome and should both get some exposure and some live dates over here. On the Thrash side of things Chewin Druids are yet to be covered and Warpath released something to little response from Terrorizer as far as I know and I don't know if Damnas did either.

Anyway, that's plenty. I would really like to see something on Cross-Stitched Eyes, loving their stuff at the mo.

I reviewed Chewin' Druids last year and Warpath have had a Choice Cuts and I gave them a rave review. Will check out the other suggestions though, thanks!

I suggest The Lamp Of Thoth and even though they've been around a while i'd also recommend Centurion's Ghost for a bit of re-exposure.

Top quality doom that is.

I was in contact with them last year, they seemed keen but never sent me a CD :( I might prod them again as they are really good.
