Seeking Recs

First Post May 21, 2020 10:37 AM

I am not a member of the Horde (although I would probably select it as a fourth clan if I ever get that far with the clan challenges) and, apart from a few bands like Nile, Vader and Bolt Thrower, I kind of lost interest in death metal after the early nineties, it's seeming obsession with and celebration of violence and brutality I found particularly off putting. 

Recently, however I have discovered a couple of prog-death releases that have re-ignited my interest in DM. These are Blood Incantation's Hidden History of the Human Race and Venenum's 2017 release Trance of Death. Can any of you member's of the Horde recommend me any album's in a similar vein. I particularly like the space, sci-fi influence on these records, so anything in similar vein would be great.

Here are some sci-fi themed extreme metal albums I would recommend, with a few of them being prog-death/melodeath:

Between the Buried and Me - The Parallax I + II (2011/2012)

Born of Osiris - The Discovery (2011)

The Contortionist - Exoplanet (2010)

Rings of Saturn - Lugai Ki En (2014)

Scar Symmetry - Holographic Universe (2008)

Shadow of Intent - Primordial (2016)

Vektor - Terminal Redux (2016)
