Natch, every one knows Behemoth. Again, our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Nergal and any one suffering from his condition, which his celebrité has brought to light.
Anyways, hopefully some of you know Fleshgod Apocalypse-- an awesome technical death metal band from Italy. They have a subtle classical influence that sets them apart from the pack, which manifests itself in melodic interludes, intros and outros.
The third leg of this triangle is Hour of Penance. These guys are very straightforward in their technical death metal crush. They have one speed: 110%. Their latest, Paradogma is an enjoyable display of what they're all about.
So what is this triangle, you ask? It is this simple blogger's observation that these bands are inextricably linked in style and composition.
Behemoth is indeed a bit slower and more atmospheric, but Nergal's vocal style is clearly a huge influence on these two others.
Behemoth is clearly the top end of the triangle-- the other two bands are the legs that are the off-shoots. FA and HoP both take the Behemoth tremolo and chug sound, and speed it up about 10x.
Overall it's very cool stuff. Be sure to lend an ear.
