Thought the playlist started out a little patchy if honest with me only liking every other track until Gorguts kicked in then I thought it was flawless up until Herpes where I lost interest in the grinding slant that the list took on leading into sheer brutality.  Thankfully rounded off nicely with Nile though.

Main surprise for me is how much I like that Venom Prison track as normally I find myself firmly disliking what they do but that track got thrown up on some random Spotify playlist and it stuck with me instantly.  Definitely on the more death metal side of their sound but also a sensible vein of metalcore present still.  My brief forays into the Revolution style bands has definitely altered my opinion on "core" in terms of softening my stance on it and being more open to it in my listening.

The first band I will check out following on from the playlist is Atvm!  What an amazing track that is, not what I expected at all either.  Interesting stuff indeed.  On the other end of the timeline I am all over the death thrash of Psychic Possessor, never heard of them until today but will be giving that one a run through over the weekend also.

Cheers for adding in Ulthima now that I looked over the playlist a bit, been really enjoying that record this year, even if it might be a bit "shiny" sounding for traditional Death or Melodic Death Metal fans.
