Any fans of any recent bands playing in the old school style? I recently discovered Skeletal Remains and Undeath who are ticking the right box's for me anyway. Really catchy well written old school stuff. I'm liking Gatecreeper too who I look forward to seeing this weekend.

All fab bands there, although some here would disagree! Going mad I can't make Gatecreeper this weekend.

One recent beast I've only discovered the past few months is Moulder. First album out 2 years ago:
https://rottedlife.bandcamp.com/album/vanished-cadavers

Second album due on the 15th:
https://molderil.bandcamp.com/album/engrossed-in-decay

Really scratches my itch anyway.

Didn't mind the first Undeath album, the most recent one didn't do much for me. Morbific are great as well, and there's a few others, but in general there's too many of them and they are interchangeable.

Think i'd rather just listen to actual 90s bands than copies of them at this stage but as with anything there's always a few worthwhile out there. Overall though 90% of the current wave of US and (particularly) UK bands need to fuck off. Not sure if by "old School" you particularly mean the Roadrunner Florida/TriState type thing which is what the bands you mention bring to mind, so maybe some of these might be a little off the mark but...

Still not 100% sure what to make of this band Phobophilic but this new song sounds infinitely better than their demo

Dismebodiment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfHP9BAS2ug (the video is spectacularly bad, the tune's okay)

This Vilespawn demo might be up your alley

Corpsessed probably will too

more "Euro" sounding stuff

Mvltifission sound like they could have been on Drowned productions. Great band

I've a soft spot for Coffin Mulch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTsvifoI2wg Absolutely nothing original, might be biased cos I know one of them, but they do the old school Swedish thing well



Sedimentum definitely scratch the "Realm of Chaos"/Demilich itch for me

Listened to a bit of Vilespawn the other day. Sounded cool. Been meaning to go back to Mvltifission since last year, I think. The rest look exactly like shit I'd just skip over but given it's your recommendations Mr Grimes I'll have a look.

Haha,kind of you to say Matt..geared more towards the OP than my personal taste in some instances but you'll certainly get a laugh out of the sheer cringe of that Disembodiment video at least

Haha. Pretty sure I've actually seen this video before. Yer man's Ironbird is a beaut. Tune is a non runner for me, as is everything else posted bar the two I already mentioned.

By Old School I meant 80s/ 90s Death Metal. I'll check out those there for sure. Nice one

Gruesome

Madrost
Gruesome are cool, really annoyed I didn't get to see them as the gig here got cancelled due to covid. Hopefully they will tour again

Love Skeletal  Remains.

I know some people cant stand the Death worship with Gruesome,but It doesn't bother me!,im a massive Death fan anyway.

The likes of DTA and Left to die annoy the fuck out of some people,but its all a bit of craic as far as im concerned.

If you;re going for straight up 90s tribute bands then Pharmacist's new one is basically the album Carcass should have made between "Necroticism" and "Heartwork"

Ectoplasm definitely sound pretty 90s to me. Not my thing but you may enjoy

That band Madrost...pretty sure I reviewed them for MI years ago and the singer posted some diva-esque rant bullshit online because I said something he didn't like about the album. So fuck them.

Got to have a bit of Gruesome then, even with an old school video

Listening to Mefitis here today. Definitely death metal that sounds like it could have come out of Sweden in the 90s, so worth mentioning here.

I'd go out on a limb and say they're better than any of the bands mentioned in this thread. For me anyway.
