Was listening today again to Convulse' "World Without God' album and I thought I'll make a thread about finnish Death metal.

We all know the swedish type, treble driven super distortion with this somehow punkish feel sometimes. However when it comes to Finland's death metal, we can clearly notice it was closer to the american way than to their neighbors.
Of course of the most known we have Demigod and Demilich, downloading made me discover other nice Death metal bands that aren't as unique as Demilich but still they need to be mentioned somewhere, Convulse to begin with, Adramelech, Funebre (great one) and of course Abhorrance and early Amorphis. But also Xysma, who began as a nice grind act in the old vein who later turned into pioneering the death and roll genre. (YES, and not Entombed).

I feel that this thread will sink low in this forum's page but heck, giving it a try. So I would be glad to get more reccomendations, more likely albums and not split or demos, I noticed there were a lot of demos but not enough full lengths actually! Or maybe this is just me.

Purtenance strikes back:


Wow, didn't know of an upcoming album.
Listening to an album sample on facebook right now. Sounds good so far.

Since I have already written an article (http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1257) partly on the topic I already knew most bands mentioned here, but I found a few bands I need to check out.

Since I didn't see them mentioned anywhere in the thread, I suggest everyone check out Rippikoulu

Thanks for the recommendation! I loved them.

I remember owning a demo from Mordicus but I can't remember the title. I bought it at a gig in '92 or maybe '93.
Damn, now I need to find the thing before I forget about it again.

Xysma just announced they'll release a brand new album in late sping 2022, which would be their first since "Girl on the Beach" from 1998. It might not be anywhere similar to their early grind and death metal stuff, but considering they have always been very experimental, it's at least going to be very interesting to hear what they sound after all these years. The Finnish source can be found here
