Florida Death Metal

Fury and Flames

Fury and Flames, is the fouth album by Hate Eternal, seminal Death Metal band lead by the equally awesome Erik Rutan. The album is the first after the death of former bass player Jared Anderson. Erik made it clear this album was an emotional response to Jared’s death.

If that’s the case, then the emotion felt was utter dispair.

The first song on the album, Hell Envenom, is an absolute aural assault. There’s just so much going on, in such dissonant way, that the listener is immediately confused.

Suffice to say, the album is completely awesome!

Blessed For Extinction

Blessed For Extinction is Aruspex’s second full length album since 2001’s Revelations. Overall, the album is good, even though it is a bit short on content. Adding 2 live songs as filler definitely helps, especially since Aruspex performs very well live. While Aruspex bills itself as a black metal band, many of the songs could easily be categorized as Death Metal.

The title track, Blessed For Extinction, is definitely the highlight of the album, and well worth the money to pick this one up. If you get a chance, check out Aruspex perform this material live. You’ll be glad you did.

Mana Studios

Mana Recording Studios
Mana Recording Studios is the studio created by legendary Death Metal pioneer, Erik Rutan. The studio is arguably the best in the state. Albums released from the studio are from A-List Death Metal bands. The client roster includes Cannibal Corpse, Hate Eternal, Goatwhore, Soilent Green, Vital Remains, The Absence, and Six Feet Under.

Evisceration Plague

Holy fuck, Evisceration Plague is fucking amazing. The eleventh album by legendary Cannibal Corpse certainly does not disappoint. There are very few bands that even approach the level of awesome that Cannibal Corpse put into every album they create. That barrier just got a lot more difficult to overcome.
