^^Anyone interested in Dark Progressive Metal should definitely be checking this extremely talent band out. Vocalist from Psychotic Waltz.

Ah, Gillan.

Such an underrated band. Magic is no Mr. Universe, but the man never released any garbage.

I've decided to take a keener interest in exploring the Aussie underground scene, since there's a lot of good shit in there I've never known about.

My first discovery is these maniacs, Captain Cleanoff. Anyone even remotely interested in Grind should listen to this. Don't be fooled by the Carcass parody album title, this is original, punishing, amazing Grind of the highest calibre.

That's a blast from the past. I've not heard Captain Cleanoff in 7 odd years. The last was their selftitled EP.

Volatile's another Aussie grind band I used to not mind. They even had samples from Alf off Home and Away.

Then there's Intense Hammer Rage who were phenomenal live, though boring to listen on a CD.

Good luck finding their album "Aveagoyamug" as it was banned in Australia for some really dodgy lyrics and imagery.

Funny thing is that while I used to enjoy Grind back in my early-mid 20s I can't stand it anymore aside from early Carcass and some of the early Bolt Thrower grindedque tracks.

Now there's a classic Death Thrash album.

One of my faves to this day along with the mighty Maniaxe.

Really, really good album. But one thing I'm pretty sure it's not is death metal. I mean, you have the vocals for one thing, with nary a growl to be heard anywhere. But then there's the riffs.....more thrash than death, but it's not really thrash either. Hard one to peg down. I think it gets classified as death metal just because of their older works, rather than what's actually on here.Really good music, anyway.
No growls? :blink:

Sounds like a massive shift in direction.

I might want to check this out. I always loved Psycroptic live but usually I'd tire of their albums after 1 track.

If you thought these guys were any good in the past, give this a chance because the production on this full-length is leaps and bounds ahead of what you'd expect. This is a highly professional and polished release (well, in an underground grind kind of way).

I wouldn't call it a massive shift in direction. It's sort of been happening in stages which each album since Jason came in as vocalist. This is definitely the culmination of that progress though. Check it out.

I'd lost track of Psycroptic by Symbols of Failure - a very tedious album.

crap band crap album

Bestial Warlust and Anatomy are some great black/death from Australia, the latter is incredibly atmospheric keyboard laden death metal. Very Unique band.
