for any death metal fans out there...
oceano "depths" ...amazing!

I love how most death metal logo are unreadable, unless you know what you are looking for. It's like breaking a topsecret code sometimes.

it reminds me a lot of the acacia strain.

Not too much of a death metal-head usually, but this is indeed an epic album.

I've only heard one or two songs on Sirius, but I do like them.

Normally I think I'd find them a little too "core" for me, but for some reason I like them and I wanted to check out this full length.

I don't think that's nearly that unreadable of a logo either. It should be much more complex and garbled.

i just listened to about half od the record. its ok, but i'd rather listen to Merauder!

This received a horrible review in last months Decibel 3/10.. calling it typical French Canadian Deathcore

but I haven't heard it yet, so i'll give it a listen..... when i'm not listening to the new KYLESA!!! so fucking good.

Typical French Canadian Deathcore ? How come, they're even not from here ..!
I thougth that we'd got rid of those

Checkout Les Ékorchés, they play accoustic deathcore, using a electric cello. Fun.

It's a solid, well produced album from start to finish. They are one of the best new acts that I've heard in a while.
Another great album that I've been listening to quite a bit is GOJIRA's "The Way Of All Flesh".

well the exact quote was
"oceano sound like a number of French-Canadian deathcore outfits mixed with the new-jack metal bands that sound like they have no knowledge extreme music beyond 21st century Morbid Angel, and will gladly claim you as an influence if you add them as a myspace friend and utilize breakdowns"
sorry

gojira's Way of all Flesh is fucking brutal

I'm not one to take a critics opinion really. I pretty much like or not. I don't think that every act needs to break the mold of a genre, but just do it well. I wouldn't even say that their sound is like Morbid Angel anyway (except for a little drumming action here and there & parts of song 1 on the disc), I'm thinking their influences were more in line with bands like Katatonia, Fear Factory, Suffocation, and General Surgery.

Hell Yeah! I've been listening to this record constantly since I picked it up a few days ago. Seeing them play with Mastodon later this month.

Reads more like a bitter old school-metalhead venting his frustration over a bad day at the office...

I gave this cd a listen. Its pretty good. The band has a good feel to it. I like when the singer goes from Death metal voice to Black metal voice. Good Stuff.

a lot of their reviews read that way, but overall a great metal mag

I've had KYLESA's "Time Will Fuse Its Worth" album and like it and just picked up their new album last night. It's a great listen from first listen.

Wasn't aware of it, but just checked it out and found that Justin from Graf Orlock writes movie reviews for them:

Thanks, bookmarked.

Oh and "+1" or whatever on what everyone has said about Kylesa, though I only own the split w/Cream Abdul Babar and have yet to check out the new album...

How about Kickback ?

Kylesa and Gojira are both good but not death metal.

Thanks for the reccomendation. Decent album.

My favorite right now though is Blood Red Throne

This is my current death metal favorite.

my thoughts exactly

picked this album up yesterday & liking it a lot.
