Chton

As most know, Norway is far more well-known for black metal than traditional death metal, but there are some Norwegian bands playing death metal, and Chton is one of them. In some respects Chton isn't terribly different from a lot of other bands in the field, but on the other hand their tendency to stick to mid-paced crunch rather than hyperspeed technicality gives them a slight edge to these ears, particularly when things really come together on tracks such as personal favorite "Enemie" or the closing riffs of "Hammered (Down)". Overall Chtonian Lifecode isn't a perfect album, and it may not even be a great album (too many songs sound too similar), but there's potential here.
