I really think you need to hear UTUMNO!

..so here's their fuckin' rare '93 MCD "Across The Horizon":

Rmoved

This was a 2nd-going-on-3rd wave Death Metal band from my home town of Västerås. Musically they should cater to fans of classic Heavy/Epic Metal as well as DM-fans, so if deathlike material isn't usually your cup of blood I strongly suggest you check 'em out anyway. We're not talking about the spiring Gothenburg-sound here, it's more like they shared the attitude of quality, catchy riffing and songstructures with classic HM rather than the ENTOMBEDs and DISMEMBERs of the day. Or, like, um... Well, it's still quite deathmetallic, but it's a bloody fantastic album on so many levels to click the bloody link already!

Yes yes! This is very good! Not tech for tech's sake, reminds me somewhat of Demigod. I really like the vocal approach. A worthy find! Thank you.

Great upload of an underrated/forgotten band! I just uploaded their awesome "The Light of Day" 7" if anybody's interested in checking it out:

By the way - I forgot to mention that the two songs on the 7" are also on the MCD, but in different versions. I mostly uploaded this for completion's sake.
