Thx for the recs, I do prefer the messier, jazzier stuff so far (from admittedly limited experience)



P.S. “Disposal of the Dead” is a great entry point into DS, that half of the ‘dual EP’ is more straightforward than a lot of their material and the ‘Dharmata’ prog side is a little Atheist-like (although I prefer listening separately)

Defeated Sanity and Brodequin and both sick as hell, they just do things differently.

Also I think Defeated Sanity is definitely well-regarded outside of sput, considering the debut is their only album on rym that isn’t the top bdm album for its release year.

This is on the same level as Bleed The Future for me, in that it doesn't completely blow me away but I can see myself jamming this every few months for the next 10+ years.

a ton of bdm is groovy. there is an entire subgenre (slam) dedicated to writing exclusively groovy brutal death since it's one of the signature aspects

but i still think it every time one of these pops up on the "best" section and i'm left scratching my head because i've heard this album 400x in slight variation

I guess this is not for everyone but still one of the best dm albums ever for sure. The most replayable album of all time prob

“Release Date: 03/22/2024”

Anthracks: I remember it from Lenker’s thread because this is arguably one of the most homogenous / ‘samey’ genres in existence and I knew you were a proponent of its quality, so just thought it was amusing in that context. I’ve revisited that thread many times so it wasn’t hard to remember a comment of that ilk existed in there

mhm, and i do believe i mentioned in that comment that it's ironic that i feel that way because my favorite genre would be consensused as the most same-y genre of all-time



the difference is, though, that well-regarded and high-charted brutal death albums are actually quite rare. (though there does ((thankfully)) seem to be a surge in popularity thanks to bands like defeated sanity and now this.) whereas there are typically very many every year in the singer-songwriter-y tradition. for the record, i do enjoy the lenker album.

Yeah, I know you did admit that was the case. I think it’s understandably niche. Almost by design it’s a suffocating homogenous sound. No problem if you love it but I can see why people find it tiresome… I mean I do, at least in this form

Variation can and does exist in BDM tho, so I’m interested in exploring further. DS are of course held up as trailblazers and rightly so. Effluence are doing inventive things. And of course Crypto / Suffo hold up well, even if I also find the latter a tad homogenous at times (not always a negative)

You can extend it to all of DM in all honesty, so it’s not necessarily a criticism of BDM specifically, but I guess by concentrating on the more extreme aspects of the genre it is maybe more pronounced, more regularly
