Like an unholy melding of Comus's Wooten and Obituary's Tardy fronting a prog/thrash/death band du juor...how fucking awesome!!!

Bestial Summoning - Sodomistic Rituals Demo '92
One of the originators...a classick not just of Dutch black metal, but of black metal as a whole. Raw, primal....the total package.
Labels:
Archaic,
Black metal,
Dutch,
Primitive,
Raw,
Raw black metal
Allied Forces - The Day After
Good lord this is cheesy, but y'know I wouldn't expect anything less of Dutch heavy metal anno 1986. Hell, I wouldn't WANT anything less!

Pleurisy - My Favourite Girl
What an album title. Sweet old s"cool" deth. Listen to this while you hold your honey close.
Bluuurgh... - Vegetables Of Doom
Veggies of fucking doom...as in this will put your ass in a vegetative state for sure. One listen of this punk-inflected death smess and you'll be pulling the plug my friend.
Creepmime - Shadows
'93 certainly was a good year for Dutch metal...you had the first Countess and this debut from one of the most unheralded tech-death bands EVER!! Dig the artwork too, looks like somthin' off of Mad Butcher!

Angus - Track Of Doom
Grade A+ side chunk roast here folks. A fine, fine slab of Dutch heavy metal..."Sweet lady won't you pour me some wine, I like to get high and I like to feel fine"...
Uncomposing - Northernmost Epic
Redonkulous black-death-forest-prog metal. Totally insane, but definitely worth a listen cuz it was one of Jon Haughm's (yes, he of Agalloch fame) first bands.
From what I know this is Haughm on all instruments...and it is NOTHING like the early Agalloch albums. If anything it sounds like Grave administering a Pacific Northwest roasted coffe bean enema to that first Sculptured album. Hey, but I totally dig it! Just to reiterate, this is not sane stuff and is an acquired taste indeed. Much like that coffee enema I think.

Aslan - Demo 1986
Pre Psychotic Waltz stuff here...back when Devon Grave's was Buddy Lackey and his hair was as long and lush as Aslan's himself.
Agent Steel - Order of the Illuminati
This is a ripper. Prog-thrash with an excruciatingly heavy production. Brucie Boy's soooaaaarring vox and lyrical themes are out of this world, literally. Cosmic flights of fancy that by this time were Agent Steel's niche...their ace in the hole. Order of the Illuminati is a total win, I could listen to a song like Insurrection or Human Bullet a 100x over and not tire of it...a true testament to how amazing this band really is.

Agent Steel - Omega Conspiracy
The Agent Steel boyz dropped Cyris somewhere over Alpha Centauri and picked up top-notch vocalist Bruce Hall along the way.

Sound Barrier - Speed Of Light
Fly me off into space with this one baby, from L.A. sleazy, progressive....and hey, the world's first all-black hard rock band signed to a major label!
Agent Steel - Unstoppable Force
I don't think an album title has ever described it's music soo perfectly. Let wildman Cyris take you on an epic journey cross hither & yon.
