Nile - "The Underworld Awaits Us All" (from "The Underworld Awaits Us All", 2024)

Does anyone have any good death metal recs for 2024 that I should check out before year's end?

I have a couple of suggestions for January if you want them, Daniel, but it's fine if you don't have space:

Kanonenfieber - "Gott mit der Kavallerie" (from "Ausblutungsschlacht", 2024)

Nile - "The Underworld Awaits Us All" (from "The Underworld Awaits Us All", 2024)

I can fit the Kanonenfieber track but not the Nile one Sonny. Do you want to be included in next month's time allocations? If so then I'll reduce everyone's time limits to 30 minutes each. Let me know ASAP.

Yes please, Daniel, if it isn't a problem.

It's not Sonny. Consider it done.

For Feb please Daniel:

The Fallen Prophets - "Beneath the Veil of Flesh" (from "Beneath the Veil of Flesh", 2024)

Black Curse - "Ruinous Paths…" (from "Burning in Celestial Poison", 2024)

Revocation - "Lessons in Occult Theft" (from "Netherheaven", 2022)

Exhumed - "Limb from Limb" (from "Gore Metal", 1998)

Exhumed - "Limb from Limb" (from "Gore Metal", 1998)

I've already nominated an Exhumed track Vinny. Do you want to choose something else mate?

Siderean - "The Sacred Sea" (from "Spilling the Astral Chalice", 2024)

Antagonyze - "Deadly Sorrow" (from "Interpretations of the Unknown Wilderness", 2024)

Bolt Thrower - "Celestial Sanctuary" (from "The IVth Crusade", 1992)

At the Gates - "Windows" (from "The Red in the Sky Is Ours", 1992)

Dissection - "Retribution" (from "Storm of the Light's Bane", 1995)*

*not sure whether this one qualifies - it's a quintessential melodeath track for me personally, but "Storm..." is absent from The Horde, so feel free to skip it if you consider its death metal credits not high enough.

Nice pick with the Invocation track, Sonny, it's my favourite from that record!

With Daniel stepping back from aspects of the site and Ben no longer having time to compile the playlist for the North, rather than do away with them I have volunteered to take on responsibility for compiling and updating the playlists for the North and Horde, as well as continuing with the Fallen. 

I wouldn't be able to produce three playlists every month, so I am proposing to change the frequency to every other month. I should be able to get new ones out on 1st February due to work already done on them, but following that, new playlists would be released on the 1st of April, June, August, October and December.

I would still like any sugfestions to be submitted by the 15th of the month following a new playlist being released, so by the 15th of February for inclusion on April's playlist.

I know it is a significant change to the scheduling, but necessary I believe in order to keep the concept alive. Let me know either here or via PM if this is a problem, or if you have any other comments regarding the changes.

The Horde is my fourth clan and I do not have the breadth of knowledge of death metal in it's multiple forms as Daniel and, indeed, most other Horde members have, but with the help and contributions of the usual suggestion submitters, I will endeavour to put out the best playlists I can.

OK, so after some further consideration I have decided to follow Vinny's lead with the Pit and move to issuing a new playlist every three months, thus allowing me to produce one a month, rather than trying to cram more in than I may be able to handle. I intend to stagger the three playlists for the clans I am responsible for, so here are the main points and schedules:

1. I will release new playlists for all three clans, The Fallen, The Horde and The North on 1st February

2. The next new playlist for the Horde will be released on 1st March and I would like any suggestions for this playlist in by 15th February please.

3. So the release schedule for the Horde for the rest of 2025 will be:

1st March 2025 with suggestions in by 15th February

1st June with suggestions in by 15th May

1st September with suggestions in by 15th August

1st December with suggestions in by 15th November

Let us see how this pans out and then take it from there. Sorry for the change of mind, but I think this is for the best.

Exhumed - "Limb from Limb" (from "Gore Metal", 1998)

I've already nominated an Exhumed track Vinny. Do you want to choose something else mate?

Sorry, it can be scrapped.

Vinny & Karl, as Daniel has stepped back from the playlists and features, you may now both submit up to 40 minutes worth of suggestions for the playlist.

Please submit them by 15th February for inclusion on the March playlist.

Daniel, if you still want to submit some then that is fine by me, your knowledge of the clan far exceeds my own and your picks better informed as a result, so are always welcome.
