You'd be right though.

I would. haha. Been meaning to go back to Offscourings as well so perfect timing. Cracker of an album. It always reminds me to put on Temisto as well.

Huge bang of 80s Crust off that , which isn't a surprise given how much a lot of those bands worshipped at the altar of Warrior . Sounds fairly medicore tbh.

Ah..ex-Doom and Police Bastard... That makes sense.


Lads I'm no clearer on what exactly the original poster is looking for here. Undeath don't sound particularly "old school" to me. Are we just recommending death metal in general or what? By my reckoning this is the best "old school" death metal demo in recent years anyway, absolutely sounds like something Quirkey would have taped me in the 90s. Utterly brutal.

This is a fantastic thread

Ya, even though I happened to be listening to them same day as Mefitis, and even though they absolutely rule, I wouldn't have thought to put Tomb Mold in here. But sure, why not. If we want to get loose on what we're calling old school DM, Horrendous to my ears have been doing Necroticism/Heartwork era style Carcass... and doing it better than the reformed Carcass themselves.

It's a kind of meaningless term in someways cos the best death metal is just death metal..I've seen the term "Old School" used to cover everything from 90s HM2 Nihilist rip offs to bands that sound like Necrovore/Morbid Angel 80s style Satanic Thrash to bands that purposely ape 90s bands off Roadrunner/Earache. I do associate the term with bands who generally don't have a whole lot going on beyond nostalgia though.

Anyway, much of a muchness. The main thing here is that we're all clear that Mefitis are amazing. Sure we may as well mention the other best American Gothenburg band currently:

Tomb Mold, Gatecreeper all good. Dream Unending very cool also but not typical DM

I liked that Dream Unending album on first listen, must go back to it. On a similar vein, Enchantment - who are actually "Old School" given they put out a record on Peaceville 28 years ago - have a new one out that I really like, and if the 90s Peaceville Three or the Dream Unending album are up your street, you might dig it. Melodic, slightly flowery doom death that could have come out in the 90s but still sounds good to me. Many of you will hate it I suspect ;)

Jesus, Enchantment, that takes me back. I had their first album (on Century Media I thought?), didn't think much of it at the time but I like the sound of that new one, must give it a proper listen.

It's far better than the debut.
