TERMINUS: extreme metal podcast
Music:Music Commentary
TDMG is back from an out of town trip just in time to present a death-metal focused episode ranging from the oldschool to the... well, the mid-00s are now basically oldschool. Will TBMG survive the onslaught of blasting and legitimate guitar chops? Listen to find out. First off, though: the new 7" by Ossuary, presenting an alternate take on early 90s doomdeath filtered through the prism of some of its most sinister cousins.
13 years past their last volley, New Jersey's own Deteriorot return from the grave(?) with a new full length. An obscure favorite of TDMG, Deteriorot plays an occult and doom-ridden style of death metal equally informed by New York and Scandinavian styles. "The Rebirth," though, distills these regional mannerisms to their most primordial elements. An album as carefully plotted as it is rigorously minimal, this one is highly recommend to fans of deliberately primitive extreme metal as a whole.
Closing out the show is a 2020-style Terminus pick with Ophidian Memory's "Our Shattered Garden." Pulling on threads of mid-00s popular extreme metal, Ophidian Memory plays a tech and prog-brushed manner of melodeath informed by both the classic (Swedish melodic black/death) and the highly modern for its era (popular melodic metalcore.) The result of this perhaps unexpected trip down memory lane is a record with outsized ambitions, tremendous melodies, and a plucky, confident attitude that reminds us why The Black Dahlia Murder was so cool in the first place.
