Anata

A quote from Anata's website: "Anata's music can be described as death metal with influences from both the American and Swedish scenes. The result of this is brutal, very rapid, intense and somewhat harmonic death metal." Usually quotes on a band's home page (or even worse, record label promos) come off as completely undescriptive or overblown marketing hype. In this case, though, one would be hard pressed to find a better description of Anata. They are intense, and they definitely share some of the raw brutality of American death metal with the melody of the Swedish scene, without blatantly copying either. Considering how easy it is for one death metal band to sound a lot like many others, Anata has a reasonably original style here.
