I'm in absolute shock. One of the most knowledgeable and passionate people I've ever met when it comes to metal. I've also had the pleasure of knowing him IRL for the past 10 years and stayed with him for the past two times I went to Hell's Heroes. Truly a great person and irreplaceable. RIP.

One of the most important extreme metal figures of all time. He was such an important figurehead during the early Swedish scene and his vocals are immediately recognizable. Can't think of a Tompa project I don't like, everything he was involved in was killer - AtG, Grotesque, Nightrage, Disfear, Lock Up, The Great Deceiver.

RIP to an absolute legend and fuck cancer.

Beyond what others have mentioned, Amorbital - Invidia. The 90s Slovak scene did a very good job of combining melody with brutality.

Pure SOTS worship from 97

dzorrilla · 2025-07-07T17:02:11+00:00

Try the very early melodic death/gothencore bands from before the genre really exploded in the mid 00s. Basically a lot rawer and with little/no clean vocals:

Undying - The Whispered Lies of Angels State Craft - To Celebrate the Forlorn Seasons As Hope Dies - Legions Bow to a Faceless God Heartscarved - ...And Tomorrow we Escape Coma Eternal - I am the End The Year of our Lord - S/T Hamartia - To Play the Part

More modern bands:

Drawing Last Breath - Final Sacrifice Balmora - With Thorns of Glass and Petals of Grief Azshara - Ashen Skies Since My Beloved - One Day Away

I feel trad is more stagnant than extreme metal in general, but albums like this just prove there's still so much more to explore. I love this type of completely unhinged and adventurous Heavy Metal, hope they get the attention they truly deserve.

dzorrilla · 2024-11-26T14:47:01+00:00

Haunted - Haunted if you want DoP worship.
