Brazillian early 2000s Death post 7 of 10.

Taking cues from the forefathers of this sound, Krisiun, Rebaelliun and Abhorrence, where is one to take this extremest of extreme forms of death metal before it careens off of a cliff? Mental Horror aimed for more speed and more aggression than the aforementioned bands. Ophiolatry took a different approach, making their music gnarlier and more twisted. They achieved this with odd meters and strange cadences, while sacrificing zero brutality in their approach. A true classic of the Brazilian scene, this.

Furious... so fast and blistering... rehearsals must have just been sadistic with these guys... I like to think of this record as 2001's answer to 1989's World Downfall... i.e. this is like Terrorizer on steroids.

In the Catalan language, Rebaelliun means 'I rebel'. I can think of no music better deserving of an album cover displaying blazing flames. Look at this man's right hand and try not to get dizzy. This is my favorite record from this scene. Quite possibly one of my favorite death metal records of all time.

4 Way Split Release on Relapse Records at the height of this ferocious scene. Rebaelliun, Abhorrence, Nephasth (who are boring to me but interesting here for comparison as to what makes the good bands in this scene so incredible... because this style is really tough to pull off both physically and compositionally), and Mental Horror. This is mostly demo stuff, so, for the die hards. I just couldn't get enough of this face-melting music.

For this sub sub genre of extreme music, Krisiun's 'Black Force Domain' from '95 is The Father, Rebaelliun is The Son, and Abhorrence is The Holy Ghost.

I think this is some of the heaviest music I have ever heard. Preserving Steve Albini's notion of 'the sound of a band in a room' - as opposed to computerized sounding modern extreme metal releases - this whole movement will melt your face. Enter the realm if you dare.

Late 90s Floridian uptempo ferocity. The music is much better than the album cover might suggest. It's nice to hear the torch being carried by these guys. A lot of death metal was falling off and becoming irrelevant by this time. These guys just wanted to be as fast and furious and evil sounding as they could. Getting into this record gave me a new appreciation for the speed-death metal bands that were coming out of Brazil in the early 2000s. I will post those records soon. A reviewer on encyclopedia metallum put it nicely when he said the following:

"Overall, the album is a powerful and at the same time unoriginal. Sometimes you have to take one or the other. I do not understand why so many are so critical about bands like Diabolic. They take a formula that is proven and run with it. Its great to listen to their attempt to carve a name out of the Morbid Angel legacy. That is much better then trying to be "different" for the sake of being different and just ending up with something completely average and/or boring. For what it is, "Supreme Evil" is great. Many other have attempted this and have failed miserably. Not every band can reinvent the genre, but why do you have to? Just make some great music and if something original comes out of it... even better."

This was the first extreme metal release I ever bought. I cought it on cd in 1998. I brought it to my cousin Tommy's house on a Saturday night. I remember I got Kool Keith's Sex Styles that day also. Keith fit the Saturday night party vibe. Meshuggah did not. But I didn't care, I really wanted to listen to Meshuggah. So I went upstairs and listened to it on repeat by myself trying to make sense of the thing. It blew me away then, and this band continues to make my jaw drop more than two decades later.
