Ulcerate

Brutal death metal by way of New Zealand, Ulcerate have crafted something rather unique on 2011's The Destroyers Of All. There's the requisite twisted riffs, rapid-fire drumming, and gruff vocals that characterize technical death metal, but the guitars are more dissonant than usual, and often the band slow down and veer into post-metal territory, sporting a late-period Neurosis influence at times while at other times the feedback-laden guitars reminds one of prime Godflesh. It's a bit much to take, with seven unrelenting songs clocking in at over an hour, but it's also intense and just a bit off the usual beaten death metal path.

Recent album: Cutting The Throat Of God, released on June 14, 2024.
