10 Overlooked Extreme Metal Albums From 2013

6. Terminate - Ascending From Red Heavens (Selfmadegod Records)

http://youtu.be/GiefZ-5Gprs The Lowdown: Much like Blood Mortized above, Chicago's Terminate got snowed under the Swedish retro death metal revival. Residing on a label that primarily releases grindcore and not hailing from Sweden got these guys overlooked a bit. And while their crustier, dirtier take on classic Swedish death metal isn't ground breaking or list worthy, they did the whole Nihilist/Carnage sound perfectly, before it became over produced and common place. Terminate simply nailed the raw, buzzing, fuzzed out riffs and mood and beat them into the ground. Recommended If You Like: Nihilist, Discharge, Carnage, Master.

I am metal. I am so metal I ejaculate mercury. OK, love puppies, pro football and my daughter, so how's that for balance? I own a little metal blog called teethofthedivine.com and used to write for Metal Maniacs, Unrestrained magazines and currently help out with Hails and Horns and New Noise magazines. Yeah- I guess I am metal.
