Earache record label search and destroy!

Destroy Wolverine Blues, it bores me sick!

Crap, or destroy: The Haunted, Anal Cunt (all of them), Old, Beecher, Elysian Fields, Iron Monkey (all of them)

The non-crap, or classic: Lawnmower Deth (everything except the last one and EP/single or whatever it was), Confessor's first, Mistress, Cathedral (just about all) and the tribute to Black Sabbath, Masters of Misery

Median, best silly name: Ackercoke (?sp?)

Ah, ya beat me to it.

I still need to get Heartworks again, Ian C.'s book's convinced me I missed out on something there. The first two Carcass albums are some of the greatest musical comedy ever. "LIFE IS HARD AS A MORTUARY TECHNICIAN!"

I will second all of PDF's search choices.

let me just say "fuck yeah" to this

heartwork
alters of madness
scum
streetcleaner
carnival bizarre

NO!!!

Search Fudge Tunnel, Godflesh.

...and some others i forgot.

i dont wanna waste time on Destroys.

I'm surprised to see anyone touting Heartwork on this thread. Yikes. Maybe I should give it another try. I remember it being pretty good technically, but I couldn't get into the Maiden vibe at all.

I always thought of Bolt Thrower as an Earache band, but I guess they were on Combat in the U.S. They are definitely 'search'. Grindcrusher compilation is definitely search, as well.

Evanescence wasn't drum'n'bass at all. He used a lot of breakbeats back then, but they were just played as loops. It always reminded me of Satyricon-era Meat Beat Manifesto with less interesting drums. I still love it, though. Godflesh is the most classic thing to ever come from Earache IMHO.

first beecher album. not the new one though.

some of the code:breaker stuff is really cool for heavy crushing doom vibes. that zatokrev album really is a keeper.

municipal waste (dave witte + D.R.I. crossover fetishism)

mistress - in digust we trust (i'm in the minority i think on that metal thread in liking this, but i really really like it.)

usurper - cryptobeast (chicago old-tymey death)

confessor - unraveled (really great. so unique even after all these years.)

hate eternal - i, monarch

the new ackercocke (phil is right. no naked women on the cover, but it's a cool rekkerd.)

blood red throne - altered genesis(one of my fave eurodeath albums of this year.)

callisto - true nature unfolds (one of my fave neur/isis rips)

wolverine - the window purpose (cool proggy power metal)

and of the wicked world releases i dig: exmortem - nihilistic contentment, lost soul - chaostream, the chasm - the spell of retribution

and if you just want to abuse yourself, buy the new Berzerker album.

I like the Berzerker. I saw them on that tour with Strapping Young Lad and Napalm Death a couple of years ago; their masks were hilarious.

All 3 of you!

Then again I was never a fan of Entombed until that album. Im not exactly into death metal. It's probably the only album I did like in that genre.

Them, Cirith Ungol and Shagrat just need to finally give in and do a Tolkien tour.

i still haven't made it all the way thru that new ephel duath album.

Them, Cirith Ungol and Shagrat just need to finally give in and do a Tolkien tour.

And The Lord Weird Slough Feg! as well?

Umm... Touring Middle Earth '06?

Also: the Grind Crusher compilation CD, which was my window into the world of Earache. From there, it was a short step to the "Campaign for Musical Destruction" (Napalm Death, Brutal Truth, Carcass, Cathedral) tour-stop in New Haven, Connecticut.
