Tribulation - The Horror (2009)Release ID: 8184
This is what I want from death metal. It's super fast, great riffs, nothing pretentious, and the lyrics are full of raw gruesome gory content! I also just love the tonal qualities of the instruments here. Pretty good album art too.
In an alternate timeline Per Yngve "Pelle" Ohlin doesn't blow his own head off. He kicks Euronymous out and steers Mayhem toward death metal. The end result sounds something like this. Deathcrush pt. 2.
With repeated listening I think this will claw it's way into my top 20.
