TimeGhoul - Rainwound
The guitarist (I think) has made a deal with Dark Descent Records to release the old demos + some unreleased material on LP/CD. No date set yet, but it's about time that band get the justice it deserves. Remember when one of the demos started circulating on the internet 4-5 years back or so, was like nothing I had ever heard before in the genre.
And on another note, on the discussion of Sacramentum as being black, death, melodic this or that or whatever. I myself put them in the melodic death metal genre (as it sounded in its inception, before the Gothenburg scene took it over) This goes for Vinterland and Dissection aswell, and surely some other bands of similar style aswell. That's just my personal aesthetical asswankery though, in truth its somewhere in the grey zone between black and death, and which side of the fence you want to put them. Well, who cares!
Anyway, here's some music, the band of a few acquaintances of mine:
And here's from a live gig with them, where me and a friend of mine got up on stage for some reason or another (we were pretty much intoxicated, hrrrmmm). I'm the non-blonde guy.
And here's another Swedish band, I know the members of this outfit a bit closer, even though they live in another town:
I'm more into progressive death metal, so, like the guy posting Opeth, genre elitists will probably shun me. I still consider this stuff death metal, though - although it could be up to interpretation. Who cares, really - in the end, music is music.
My favourites are Bloodbath, Six Feet Under, Cannibal Corpse, Opeth (partially death metal band (they have been transitioning slowly to prog rock last 5 years, but still, any part of this band kicks ass, so) , Gojira, In Mourning, Ikuinen Kaamos and some that I don't remember now.

Why post non-death metal in a thread dedicated to the genre then, if music is just music? :D Wouldn't it fit better in a general music thread then?
Opeth (most of their stuff anyway) I can give some leeway, since the music is deeply rooted in the genre, and I guess Gojira is aswell. But Meshuggah? I don't know man... Well, I've done my obligatory bitching and will refrain from it from now on. It's not like this forum is metal oriented and the discussion is really worth it.

Winter reminds me strangely of Winter because of the production. I have never been a huge Infester fan but I certainly digg em'.

Legendary song from a legendary album, I envy you! Even though I was very dissapointed at the new release their old stuff still stands as a testimony of excellence!
I have been in a couple of debates concerning weither or not Necrotism by Carcass is DM, I believe it is close enough so I will just drop this CLASSIC tune:
There's still a few new Morbid Angel songs from that new album that aren't completely embarrassing and facepalm to listen to. I'd drop everything in my life to go see them if they came close regardless of their new material.

You misunderstood me, man I personally think that all of those are death metal, which is why I posted them. However, I wasn't sure whether or not everybody would agree with me, which is why I had that little disclaimer.
Anyway, I just wanted to clear that up - like you, I don't want this discussion to cloud up all the awesome stuff in here.
