The Church of Latter-Day Death Metal

[@melvinramone2605]

Thanks for the update! Lots of stuff I need to check out. I like Tied Down TV a lot. Hopefully you'll gain them some new fans.

[@thestranger3530]

Thanks for the upload GZS. Cool to see you shoutout the Guts release. I’ve been enjoying that one immensely. Apparition on Profound Lore has been a recent discovery for me and I can’t stop listening!

[@GroundZeroSalem]

Gave that Apparition a listen...sounds good. I may still prefer the Apparition from Spain, but I'll need to spin the other one more. THIS Apparition has Taylor Young on Bass, which is cool. There's a few Twitching Tongues records that I really dig.

[@heavytherapy]

Great update, Pat. I like most of this stuff, too. The previous Afterbirth LP is just as good. Great band. And knowing your taste, you might like it more. The new Dying Fetus is basically my fav. Dying Fetus. No idea how, or why, but, yeah, it's very enjoyable.

[@GroundZeroSalem]

Yeah, it seems like a lot of people really dig that new Dying Fetus. I think it's really well done. I plan on checking out those other Afterbirth full lengths. Going backward sounds like a plan. The super early demo stuff rules. I do have that one.

[@heavytherapy]

@@GroundZeroSalem Going backwards is a good plan.

[@CinemaATTACKS]

Anthropophagus was an Italian horror movie about a cannibal man terrorizing a greek island. It has a really cool early synthwave-y score. The sequel is oddly sort of a ripoff of Halloween where he is terrorizing an American small town, and there are almost no cops around to stop him because it's during the Super Bowl! Got a couple things to peep, thanks Pat

[@GroundZeroSalem]

I knew you'd swoop in to school me. Sounds rad. I'll start looking for it right meow.

[@thegrimmfluencer]

Fuckin' mad movie that.

[@deathagoniesandscreams]

Thank you for the kind words about our record. I think Abuse of a Corpse was the second vinyl LP released by Headsplit after the excellent Morbific debut. -Shane/Anthropophagous

[@GroundZeroSalem]

Ahhh, gotcha. Good to know. I just ordered Death Fugue too. Can't wait to slap it on the turntable.

[@deathagoniesandscreams]

I hope you enjoy it!@@GroundZeroSalem

[@9thcircle73]

Florida had some great metallic hardcore in the 90s. Stuff like Shai Hulud and Cavity also come to mind, though Cavity was very sludgy. The new Pestilength record has been doing right by me. I would recommend them for some nasty death doom. Great update!

[@GroundZeroSalem]

Never really got into Shai Hulud. I haven't revisited them in a long time though. Cavity rules. I have almost all of their stuff. I've heard good things about Pestilength.

[@goat666db]

@@GroundZeroSalemDefinitley give Hearts Once Nourished a relisten. That album rules!

[@Grindermetalhead]

Good stuff man. You obviously know your shit. I heard a lot of these albums, but some I definitely missed and plan on correcting that. I really loved the new Dipygus, and I also thought I'd hate Suffocation without Frank, but the new guy's really good and the album was killer.

[@GroundZeroSalem]

I agree! Like I said, super clean production, bit I wouldn't really expect anything else. Great vocalist.

[@snaptitewidetrax]

love the channel! tons of great recommendations to go through... keep it up a couple recent suggestions would be: Nothingness - Supraliminal Kruelty - Untopia ... they play alot of hardcore shows/fests but i think they are definitely a death metal band

[@GroundZeroSalem]

Cool, thanks for the recommendations. I was apprehensive about Kruelty due to the name, but I'll check them out.

[@thegrimmfluencer]

Great stiuff in here Pat, as always.

[@GroundZeroSalem]

Thanks friend.

[@ajh229]

Pat, I don’t know how you make *talking* about metal so titillating… Great vid. Your ability to recall details about profuse legions of albums is just immense. Digging this Trucido- thanks! I’m half tempted to move to TX to be pulverized up-close by their grindcore scene. Real Life Ugly is another up and comer in Dallas you may dig. Finally, in the age of shuffle mode, I’m impressed by your commitment and attention to the album experience. PS- love the Wet Hot JJ and Ben and McKinnley-a-zoid scene! Love that move!

[@GroundZeroSalem]

Dude, one of the funniest comedies of all time. Thanks for the props. Sometimes I take a long time to prep for these things. Glad it's paying off.

[@ajh229]

@@GroundZeroSalem dude, if the ‘number of times watched’ was the metric for my all-time fav move- Wet Hot would nab that title, easy! The Victor - Neal dynamic needs chiseled into a mountainside!

[@GroundZeroSalem]

@ajh229 The whole Victor Pulak pursuing Abbey Bernstein subplot might be the funniest part of the movie. When he crashes into the tree? Duuuude, forget about it. Gold. Ken Marino in general is pretty great in most of the things he's been in. I still love The State.

[@ajh229]

@@GroundZeroSalem …even though we ain’t got money, I’m so in love with you honey… And everything will bring a chain of loooove-oh-woh-woh-yeah… In the morning when I rise- OH FUCK!!!!!

[@GroundZeroSalem]

@ajh229 I once witnessed the guys from Tear it Up heckling a younger punk band who's set fell apart by yelling "Do something" (other guy from the band, like clockwork) "Or get the f*ck off the stage!!!" a la the talent show scene. It was magical.

[@goat666db]

I just discovered Tied Down TV today, binged like 5 of their videos, good stuff! Also speaking of name overlap within death metal, there’s another band called Antropofagus from Italy that kicks ass, very brutal stuff. Members of Devangelic, Putridity etc 🤘

[@GroundZeroSalem]

Yeah, much like everyone else there are like 4 or 5 bands with that name, lol.

[@matthewkinne7662]

Dude! I don't ever remember half dead being that fucking awesome! I had the demo forever, no idea what dimension it's in now.

[@GroundZeroSalem]

Haha, same dude. They were pretty nice dudes, from what I remember.

[@Metalminersmusic]

What a stack. Gotta get my pencil and note pad and run it again. Good stuff

[@GroundZeroSalem]

Thanks!

[@thedreadfulminutes]

How you managed to cram all that content into only 35-ish minutes is its own magician's feat. I didn't realize Into Darkness had new material… discovered them a few years ago and figured with the quality of material they put out they'd be a household name by now… but nope, not the case… quite cool to see you give 'em a mention.

[@GroundZeroSalem]

Simon over at Explosive Action also talked about Into Darkness recently. But yeah, I think their low amount of output has kept them relatively obscure. Quality over quantity!

[@blackleathereyes3673]

Hi Pat, thank you for the very sound shout-out mate! Talking about Antropophagus (Ill defo check the band out), I love the atmosphere in that movie. I always think of Death Metal as the sonic equivalent of those Video Nasty movies. The more exploitative, thick with atmosphere and over the top the better in my opinion. Slimy, gross and festering...everything else is just Metal with DM vocals that dont belong after that haha! I know very little about modern DM apart from what I see folks like yourself show on youtube. Ill check some of this out for sure. I like Vircolac from Ireland and Ive seen people show Scolopendra which I liked too. Its always interesting to see the scene slither along. Anyway, im blabbering...fun, well made and interesting vid mate. Cheers mucker!

[@GroundZeroSalem]

Vircolac, eh? I'll have to check them out. The only Irish DM bands that I'm really familiar with are Abaddon Incarnate and Coldwar. I know a fair deal about the punk scene in The Republic & Northern Ireland, but not too much about metal if I'm being honest. Honestly, keeping up with modern Death Metal is a pretty daunting task. There are SO many bands playing many different sub-sub genres. I just pay attention to those distros and labels that I really like. I really need to check out that movie. Being an American who grew up watching BBC on public television, I can't hear or read the term "Video Nasty" without thinking of The Young Ones, and all of the quotable lines from that episode. "It's a carpet farty!!!" 🤣🤣🤣

[@blackleathereyes3673]

@@GroundZeroSalem Well mate it's hard to beat The Young Ones haha! Abaddon Incarnate I seen a few times live, great live band back then. Good to see they're are still playing. Never caught Coldwar live unfortunately. Malthusian were another interesting DM band from here too. Great to hear you are still interested in the Irish scene Pat!

[@blackleathereyes3673]

Oh , sorry for being a pest Pat but there was a band from here in the North that you may like called Scald. If you haven't heard them, I'd think they would be up yer street.

[@GroundZeroSalem]

@blackleathereyes3673 Just checked out their bandcamp. Wow, this is wild. I'm gonna need to sit down with a few of these releases.

[@ExplosiveAction]

Some belter stuff here. The new Anthropophagous I need to get, loved the previous one. Sadistic Drive rips, Ben got me onto them. Into Darkness also rules, I've never heard their previous work but I really dig Cassini (and I love spacey death metal themes personally!)

[@GroundZeroSalem]

I think that you'll like the earlier Into Darkness stuff. It's still Doomy DM, but a bit different, a little bit more straight forward. I think there's just been such a glut of SciFi imagery in DM lately, I'm a bit burnt out. I still think Blood Incantation has tracks though.

[@Metalofmadness96]

Anthropophagus and sadistic drive are awesome the second album by sadistic drive is awesome. Check out malformed awesome Finnish death metal

[@GroundZeroSalem]

Nice. Will do.

[@Metalofmadness96]

@GroundZeroSalem they are a young band like Disguised Malignance ,mutilated barbecue, regurgitated entrails and nuclear remains making wave in the death metal genre

[@noheroes8626]

I’ve been into commentary and political channels as well. Been meaning to check out Turkey Tom. It does take a toll after awhile. My palette cleanser is usually old pro wrestling.

[@GroundZeroSalem]

I can't say I agree with everything Tom says, or that I necessarily enjoy some of his zoomer humor, but he's an excellent commentator that is fairly even handed and engaging. I never really get bored watching his stuff. I like Poppa Gut a lot lately too.

[@noheroes8626]

I watch a few zoomers myself. I don’t always completely understand them but their hearts are typically in the right place and I find that our world views more or less align. By the way, I have that Seeping Protoplasm tape and it’s excellent.

[@AdeptusOfficial]

Who is the band at 27 mins? Occulst, phlegetation of Hegathon (?) doesn’t sound like a thing*

[@rubberlover666]

Good picks here. And not to nitpick but anthropophagy is just eating dead human flesh. Cannibalism is killing someone to eat them. So I've heard.

[@GroundZeroSalem]

Ah, yeah, that is actually what that definition said. "I'm not a cannibal, I'm an Anthropophagist. I only eat dead people, I'm not a murderer for cripes sake!" Lol.

[@thegrimmfluencer]

I thought eating dead flesh was necrophagy...?

[@benng4376]

Politics are wack. Speaking of which where is the pig in the creepy intro from?
