Alien/Sci-fi themed death metal?

[Beast Man]

Just had a Nocturnus binge and got me thinking. Also listened to that Hypocrisy alien album recently and that much more excellent Wormed album from a few years back....anyone any more suggestions in this vein?

[Carnage]

Blood Incantation have a pretty good spin on it:

Timeghoul is the peak

[Nazgûl]

Great shouts so far.


Try Dephosphorus, who have been labelled as astro-grind. All of their albums have sci fi concepts, lyrics are here on the Bandcamp page too if you want to follow along.

Artificial Brain definitely check the boxes.

[boozegeune]

Cryptic Shift are somewhere along these lines too

And Tomb Mold, especially their latest.

Also our own ZOM.

Their earlier demo is fantastic too.

Timeghoul - Compilation
Nucleus - Entity
Obliveon - From This Day Forward
Xenomorph - Empryean Regimes
Nocturnus AD - Paradox

[Snare]

Astrogrind sounds interesting, much check it out!

this tech death metal release by Singularity ticks all the boxes for me, but you might be looking for more blatant sci-fi:

Earlier stuff is more blatant, but I need to check em out yet, e.g.

[Eoin McLove]

Howls of Ebb perhaps?

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Not really sci-fi, are they? I have to admit, I haven't spent much time with the lyrics.

Echo Artificial Brain and Cryptic Shift though; both performing at the absolute top of the current DM game.

[open face surgery]

Outside of the ones mentioned for some reason Origin - Informis Infinitis Inhumanitis comes to mind. Maybe the cover and the Dogma sample.

Void Ceremony and Cosmic Putrefaction also fit the sci-fi angle.

[Crow]

Wormed are topper if you don't mind the more brootal end of DM. Love pretty much all their stuff. The EP from 2019 is their most recent. Superb.

The Wakedead Gathering - 'The Gate and the Key' from a few years back is a cool album. Some spaceman frills and ribbons there as well.

[Petardo]

Another couple

Obscura - Cosmogenesis

Alkaloid - The Malkuth Grimoire (features a few former Obscura members)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnnkRREO7zg

Hoth - Infinite Darkness (Star Wars Themed DM - featuring tracks like "Torn Asunder by a Wampa" and "Ghosts of Alderaan")

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0WGbkF1FOE

Not DM
Voivod
Vektor
Droid
Obliveon
Teleport
Cryptosis
etc

There seems to be a lot of sci fi themed thrash bands for some reason.

[ResidentOfBok]

Bumping this thread as I just got my hands on that last Cryptic Shift album.

It's lethal! Way beyond my expectations. Like a way more progressive Vector or Horrendous, but with some total almost Maudlin of the Well style oddness.

Have to hand it to them for them level of commitment to the theme in the booklet. Lads do be creating worlds - you love to see it.

[leatherface]

Not DM but a good thrash band in this vein:

Sacral Rage : Illusions in Infinite Void

They have other releases but I only have the aforementioned.
