If Spicoli and Geddy Lee had a kid, you'd get Sam Dunn.

Glad to see Bolt Thrower as a proto. Certainly, they're probably the grooviest old-school DM band, and you hear that groove all over the OSDM revival. As for me, my favorite band in this style is Creeping Death. Great groovy riffs. Lyrics that are cool and different (one song is literally about knights killing dragons!). Blast furnace vocals that sit so far back in the mix they sound channeled through a psychhic medium. Breakdowns. They have it all, man

This new wave is everything I wanted deathcore to be when I heard animosity and job for a cowboy as a kid then the nu metal influences started kicking in

I feel like everyone forgot about the existence of Razorback Records - these guys were releasing awesome, old-school flavoured DM all throughout the early aughts. Frightmare's Bringing Back the Bloodshed, and Engorged's Where Monsters Dwell are both criminally overlooked. Also surprised to see Carcass didn't make the cut - sure, they're better known for their later stuff, but the influence of Symphonies alone looms large over the metal underground.

Carcass moved on from it pretty quick, but I think it's still one of the most referenced blueprints in the whole canon of OSDM - the sepulchral tone, the splatter aesthetic, the winding, grinding song structures, the tri-vocal attack. Also, your new album, along with the last 2, is an absolute banger. Been spinning it non-stop since Friday.

Glad Andrew brought up the Tribulation - Formulas of Death inspired variant. My favorite niche by far- especially the aforementioned, Morbid Chron & Venenum. Love that OSDM + psychedelic mix. Blood Incantation arguably draws from that bit too- especially Hidden History.

New Ripped to Shreds is amazing. I’ve been listening to it on repeat.

Interesting watch! Am gonna check out Ripped to Shreds for sure. Hyperdontia and Blood Incantation are my faves!

Possessed influences are greatly heard on blessed are the sick from Morbid. The riffs and arrangements on seven churches set the standard so high for killer fast vocals with intonation, along with memorable and diabolical soundscapes. Even the new carcass borrows the repeating maniacal runs. Early pestilence had this vocal riff balance as well as Sam pointed out and I don’t think the song structure has ever been so strong for the later projects.

Does anybody have the whole final list? I wish they posted the tier list too in here, I'm short on time today :C.

I remember when I was trying to learn the Death song Open Casket when I was is high school. This is pre-internet era I’m talkin, no YT to watch videos and see how this shit was done. It was hearing only a handful of bands that were doing something unbelievably heavy and no one liked that type of music at that time. It wasn’t a popular thing to like metal much less death metal when I was in school so no peer guitar players in my hick town in Florida (go figure) would touch this evil shit. I had no f’n clue about down tuning, I just learned to tune a guitar in standard. My brain didn’t wrap around the fact you could lower the tuning for lower notes, I was happy to play a power chord. When I tried learning that Death song I couldn’t figure out the riffs because of the tuning, I literally thought they were gods conjuring sounds from their instruments no other humans could…It was like seeing a magic trick. It f’d with my head until the day I figured the trick out. It was also funny to look back at myself getting pissed when trying to learn Hotel California without the capo. Kids now don’t have a clue about the struggle…memories.

Well Freakin Done Bangertv!! 🤘🏽😈

Thank you Sam for defending Bloodbath. They had a hand in the modern OSDM revival because they brought that older HM2 sound to a new generation and, I am speaking of Resurrection Through Carnage here, wrote less technical songs with slowed down motifs. In the 2000s tech death and brutal death were the big stars so I really think Bloodbath were instrumental in bringing OSDM back on a commercial level.

They're not getting radio airplay, charting songs, award nominations, or RIAA certified albums that sell thousands/millions of copies. The mainstream is completely unaware of the existence of these bands, and even if you only listen to rock stations, you still will never know about these bands. You gotta really be into the underground and extreme metal in order to know who these bands are, so I just disagree with his usage of the word "mainstream."

I always thought "New Wave of Old School Death Metal" was a bit of a misnomer. I thought Autopsy, Bolt Thrower and Incantation were fairly good choices for proto-NWOOSDM, but since when is old school death metal primarily defined by Autopsy, Bolt Thrower and Incantation?! I agree that Death and the Altars of Madness should be omitted from the "proto-" for NWOOSDM, but how can they be omitted from a list of bands/albums that define old school death metal?! I feel like Death or Altars of Madness are closer to whatever one might consider as standard old school death metal than Autopsy, Bolt Thrower or Incantation. I think Autopsy, Bolt Thrower and Incantation' s sound is fairly distinctive even when one considers exclusively old school death metal. Perhaps NWOOSDM needs to be renamed, although the term is probably too well-established for that.
