Eternal Night. The band released a album and split up. They are from spain but sing in english. Now is one of the rarest and obscure CDs you can get. Dictator. They are from the asian country Laos. Thrash metal and are currently active. I love the internet.
Ah, there are so many underrated bands in the world, noone has ever heard of ....
Let's start with:
N.I.L. (No Inner Limits) :
For everyone into dark, atmospheric Progressive Metal this should be something right uo his (or her) alley. They indeed sound like they listened too much Sanctuary. Sadly there is only one Song online and it is not their best. They have much, much better tracks.
Hypocrite:
Swedish melodic Black/Death in the perfect 90s vein like Gates of Ishtar, At the Gates, sometimes old Amorphis or Katatonia etc., almost completely unknown, very eerie atmosphere, amazingly shitty production that acutally adds to the overall mood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWZdhwZOcXw&feature=relmfu
Xerxes from Switzerland:
PERFECT Epic Progressive Rock/Metal in the Vein of Longing's Past and the like. These guys definitely like old Genesis, Yes and Rush: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPztoTK3lPA
Nice to see some Bifrost appreciation. Mythistory is beyond amazing, I was seriously addicted to it a few years back. Could very well be my favorite thrash release (I know it's mixed with some black & death elements, but I see it manly as a thrash album).
Woah, Killer! you are really the first person i "met" who does say something more than "Meh, it's ok, yeah", really. It is truly an outstanding album that noone seems to get, haha.
Just great, i am really happy now, hahaha! Cheers!
Underrated because they never get mentioned among all the new Black / Thrash / Speed Bands: SPEEDWHORE! These guys need more attention! If you like Triumphant, Division Speed, etc etc, try them. The best in this genre at the moment in my humble opinion.
Met them in a crowd at a festival in my home town a couple of weeks ago. Bought their newest cd and a patch. They didn't play the festival unfortunately.
Excess of Cruelty - Ancient, rotten Death Metal
Lost and forgotten Death Metal Band from Belgium, alot of Demos and only one full length '97, all in all existing for only 8 years, they really could've needed alot more attention than they got. I always find it hard to describe the Sound of Death Metal Bands as i am not that familiar with traditions in this Genre as with other ones, but let's just call it Filthy Underground Death Metal at its fucking finest. If i had to compare it to anything, i think autopsy would come to my mind, also concerning the Vocals.
Get Your grave dug here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QYUdWrZDuc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emioFv8qCpY
Brown Jenkins - Lovecraftian, gloomy Black Metal
Speaking of lovecraftinspired Metal, for me at once Brown Jenkins come to mind. For those familiar with Lovecraft's stories they know what Brown Jenkins is, and if You have the image in mind (http://orig09.deviantart.net/89c7/f/2011/361/3/6/brown_jenkin_by_loneani...) , it very well corresponds with the music that is created here. This is twisted, very dissonant, extremely uncomfortable Black Metal from some deep, threatening void, never bursting out in total chaos though but still remaining music. Get into the void of otherworldly Horror and Terror here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UbYzhBI6Y8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3X_sl4NMCXA
Cadaverous Condition - Avantgarde, Philosophical Death "Metal"
Speaking of moving forward let's transcend this from the Black Metal Genre to Death Metal, shall we. Cadaverous Condition are not for everyone. and i can understand anybody who says it is not his cup of tea. I personally love them. Originally i believe they come from the American Neofolk Surrounging, having already collaborated with institutions like Richard Leviathan (Current 93) and Changes and doing Neofolk Covers like Di6. Using ingridents of Death Metal, which is mainly the deep grunts, they really try to move the music to a next stage, in a very profound and almost philosophical approach. Actually You probably cannot call this Death Metal anymore, there are a lot of very calm and quiet songs, always accompanied by Death Metal vocals. It is really hard to describe their music, so i would probably say the same as was said about Lugubrum: Just listen. Again: They are nothing fore the Purists for sure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcjcEb47jWY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0afeYFQUJ5k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sostbZNJID8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7PMMVjbPpw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kywSMg1Qr3o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH6WU1nc5gU (absolutely phenomenal Death in June Cover, perfectly transcending the feeling into the Death Metal Genre)
Taranis - Archaic Black/Thrash Metal
Taranis are also not talked about too often i got the feeling. Undeserved. Clearly having their roots in Black / Thrash Metal, they have a rather different approach to this genre, not putting so much focus on Speed and Headbanging mood but rather on evoking feelings of Heroism, greatness and pride, often sounding like a more thrashier Version of midera Graveland if you ask me. Also You can hear some midera and later Ancient Rites in this, being from Belgium aswell. I have to say i am talking about the second album here called "Flandriae". The first one is great aswell but much more rootes in traditional Black/thrash, should be something for everyone into Desaster and the likes.
From the mentioned album there sadly is nothing on Youtube so i have to point on the Soundcloud profile from Iron Pegasus, which unfortunately is not the most represantative song aswell, but still amazing: https://soundcloud.com/iron-pegasus-records/taranis-metal-legacy
Vrani Volosa - Mystical , majestic Pagan Black Metal with carefully chosen folk elements
This Band is from Bulgaria and plays some really, really great well executed Pagan Black Metal, or well, perhaps it is just pure Black Metal. But lyric-wise it certainly does not deal with Satan-worshipping goat gasmask virginraping stuff but with darkness, spirituality, nature etc. I would say they remind me a little bit (!) of Negura Bunget, who were one of my alltime favorite bands It is not really the music that lets me think of them but more like... the atmosphere that is created. It is full of epic structures, beautiful melodies and just overall grand, vast musical landscapes.
I cannot listen to this song without shivering, last but not least because of the beautiful clean Vocals. They also covered Bathory's "Man of Iron" by the way and did this quite well i must say. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK5bMS4ME2o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OzTQ-u9NS4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoCi22gruBo
Because i am just in the mood right now, three more:
Cross Fade - Death Metal / Thrash with the sickest Vocals You wil ever hear since Inquisitor's Sabbath of Lust
That's all that is necessary to know. This little Demo burns everything to the ground and leaves no place resurrection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcNQRoxNbas
La Rumeur des Chaines - Avantgarde Black Metal
This also should fall into the category "No description, just listen". Sometimes a bit too f ar from the Black Metal tradition and too much circus music and pompous Keyboard Orchestra, this is still some decent , greatly executed avantgarde not-everyday Black Metal that noone seems to know for some reason. Again: Not everyone's cup of tea for sure. I also have to be in the mood for this. But there is shitload of stuff to discover here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g2DUHNyu9Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm5YGvPUPa8
Black Tower - well...
If You want to know what it sounds like to combine Heavy Metal, NWOBHM, Epic Metal, Doom Metal, Punk and Black Metal, listen to this Band. And yes, it works. It works perfectly fine. Listen to believe it. One of , if not THE musical experience i had in the last years. The Video is perfect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxTbfFQwBQw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxTbfFQwBQw
i never hear anyone mention this outside of the people who i've shared it with. i'd say on about the third or fourth listen it hit me in a very profound way. i bought it a few years ago and it's almost hard to listen to now because it seems to capture all the emotion and beauty that i've experienced since i started listening to it and it can be overwhelming. i can hardly even give it a good description because it's become so personal to me. its got some nwobhm, some thin lizzy, elements, some traditional guitar wizardry, but it's powerful, and original.
Good call! I love Corsair and have all their material on Vinyl! Guitar Wizardry is the right term here. :) And definitely a VERY strong Lizzy Vibe in them.
My favorite would be their s/t album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew1GPQ67TgI
awsome. i can't get into any of their other stuff in the same way as the one i mentioned "Ghost of proxima centari". i've heard this before, the s/t. man that first track to me sounds just like Thin Lizzy almost. but it's to light. for me it's to radio friendly. i'm not saying it sucks. it's good.
I'd say Förgjord. Raw Finnish black metal seems to be appreciated world wide, but I never see anyone speaking about Förgjord. Too raw stuff for most people maybe?
Really? I actually have read alot of praise about them. Great band, i agree! Don't know their second album though.
Another Black Metal Band that for some reason comes to my mind now, would be Min Kniv. Only one demo but one of the best newer BM Demos that came out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD7WAyvScpU
Pyramaze (Progressive Power)
Pyramaze took me by storm with their out of this world music. Even when the main songwriter left after the 3rd album (which featured the legenday Matt Barlow of Iced Earth), the band continued to make great music. Their greatest song in my opinion is the one called "Legend", so fucking fantastic
Time for a new entry here that is more than worth it: Regicide!
Brillant German Power/Speed Metal from the epic mountainside of Wuppertal. Expect a killer mixture of old Rage, old Blind Guardian, etc.
Hatchet is an amazing band. Saw them last night in a bar. It was ducking insane. Those guys know how to thrash. Check out "Fear Beyond Lunacy," their latest LP release.
Possession - Belgian Black/Death
Excoriate - German Death/Thrash
Incinerator - Polish Death/Thrash
Black Trip - Swedish Heavy Metal
Diabolic Night - German Speed Metal
I would definetly consider The Famine a VERY sick underrated heavy/death metal band. They released their second album in 2011 then split up. Why do the outstanding bands always split?
Misere Nobis (Italy) I found them by accident and, I really enjoyed it. They only have one album out, with a future release split with another band named Hovart (Russia).
I mainly listen to folk metal, and that genre as a whole is not underrated (considering how popular Korpiklaani, Alestorm, Arkona nad Fintroll are), but still a lot of great bands in it are.
Although, since I think a lot of people here are not that fond of folk metal, I have 2 nice melodeath bands I found year or two ago:
DoctorAMDC on
Eternal Night. The band released a album and split up. They are from spain but sing in english. Now is one of the rarest and obscure CDs you can get. Dictator. They are from the asian country Laos. Thrash metal and are currently active. I love the internet.
DoctorAMDC on
And from my country Puerto Rico, Sepulchral. I know the founder and its a veteran musician in our scene.
Carrotttt on
Gatecreeper (Death)
Goolagoon ("Patrick" violence)
Corpspazm (Black/War)
mike584 on
I just discovered Gatecreeper not too long ago. Good shit.
StefanosAnthony on
Gutted and Dissect. Both could have easily grown to be an immense force within the scene. But in a way, they always have been.
Dr. Fill on
Dissect the French band?
Morguelord on
Netherlands Dissect, I hope. Swallow Swouming Mass rules.
Morguelord on
Also, ordering a Gutted Bleed for Us To Live album cover LS next week from Repulsive Echo.

Skymning:
Melodic Black/Death aswell, on the good ole' Invasion Records. Really a hidden gem in my opinion. Wonderful melodies and actually my first band of this Genre i ever heard. After that i was enchanted:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BrpioI3hiU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLp2KIWFWg0&feature=related
Xerxes from Switzerland:
PERFECT Epic Progressive Rock/Metal in the Vein of Longing's Past and the like. These guys definitely like old Genesis, Yes and Rush:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPztoTK3lPA
Bifrost:
Could be more known. Black/Death/Thrash from the Netherlands that is really one of a kind. I fucking LOVE this album to death! The voice could split people into two camps though, i personally love it. You fear my kind!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xSKM2VI0Nw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzjxW0E6Wq8
Typhon from Colombia:
Black/Death/Thrash with one of the gnarliest voices You will ever here. Somewhere between Venom, Root and Maniac Butcher:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1rnRPmc5kc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etKnPM4B7Zg

Just got into this old band Mordor from switzerland, very strange sort of black/doom sort of stuff.
https://youtu.be/76MmlUuEAu4
Into Glory Ride on
Yeah, Mordor are strange indeed, but really not bad.
judascrust on
Not bad at all, I managed to find a copy of the "csejthe" cd on ebay, looking forward to getting it!
Into Glory Ride on

Deathwish - UK thrash from the past Their second LP demonpreacher a gem!

An old force that's often overseen is Imperator (Poland).
Johnny Hash on
Met them in a crowd at a festival in my home town a couple of weeks ago. Bought their newest cd and a patch. They didn't play the festival unfortunately.

Onto the next batch from my side:

Misere Nobis (Italy) I found them by accident and, I really enjoyed it. They only have one album out, with a future release split with another band named Hovart (Russia).

I've got a copy of the Le Seance Haunted cassette, It's amazing, But I'm missing one of the pins...So pissed off about that!
Highly recommend for fans of Death-Doom / Funeral Doom.

Fury, a British trad metal band. Their new album 'Lost in Space' is epic! Listen to 'Star Trippin''...

Scythian - Hubris in Excelsis was an underrated album. It was up there with the best of 2015.

Their 2013 release "Spiritual Migration" was pretty much love at first listen, it's amazing what they can do

I think Inherit Disease, Soijl and Fall of Empyrean deserve more recognition.

I mainly listen to folk metal, and that genre as a whole is not underrated (considering how popular Korpiklaani, Alestorm, Arkona nad Fintroll are), but still a lot of great bands in it are.
Although, since I think a lot of people here are not that fond of folk metal, I have 2 nice melodeath bands I found year or two ago:
Valtari - Australia

Duskmourn - USA
