The New Music Thread : The Horde Edition

French brutal death metallers Benighted have a brand tenth new album coming out on 19th April entitled "Ekbom". I'm partial to some of their records so I might need to check this one out.

Some more new releases for April:

Full of Hell - "Coagulated Bliss"

Pestilence - "Levels of Perception"

Deicide - "Banished By Sin"

I’ve seen Obituary live a couple of times & they’re always rock solid. This will definitely be worth a look.

The long-awaiting seventh full-length from US death metal stalwarts Necrophagia looks like it's finally going to see the light of day next month & is entitled "Moribundis Grim". With the possible exception of 2011's disappointing "Deathtrip 69" album, I usually find Necrophagia records to be worth a listen but don't feel that they've ever really commanded return visits. I'll no doubt give this one the once over at some point though, if only for old time's sake.

The brand new Six Feet Under record "Killing for Revenge" (unbelievably their eighteenth full-length) is due for release next month which doesn't excite my much. Everything they've done since their very solid 1995 debut album "Haunted" has been thoroughly disappointing so I can't see how this release is gonna change that.

I always enjoy these Maryland deathgrinders so I'm looking forward to investigating this recent live set.

San Diego slam death metallers Pathology have a new album coming out on 17th May. It's entitled "Unholy Descent" & is their twelfth full-length thus far. Their last two records have been pretty decent so I will no doubt be partaking in some of this stuff too. Who knows? Maybe it'll be a fucking banger like their 2012 classic "The Time of Great Purification".
