The Forsaken are a melodic death metal band from Sweden, not to be confused with the many or bands named The Forsaken or simply Forsaken.

Intestine Baalism - Ultimate Instinct (2008)

Like stated before, Intestine Baalsim plays traditional brutal death metal with melodic death metal in a direct and often surprising juxtaposition. But with this release, they have kept the same guitar tones but the drumming has changes substantially. Hisao has really upgraded his playing since he joined Intestine Baalism and I would give that credit due to his involvement with Butcher ABC and Surge Line. This is an upgrade to the two previous releases with a touch of grind and brutal death.

Angelcorpse - The Inexorable (2000)

Awesome blackened death four piece from Tampa, Florida. Great riffs, top-notch drumming and just the right amount of brutality. Since this band's conception, it has featured it's fair share of big names in the metal world, such as Bill Taylor (Immolation), John Longstreth (Origin/Dim Mak) and the drumming on this album was done by none other than Tony Laureano.

Earth Crisis - To The Death (2009)

HOLY SHIT! Yes Earth Crisis finally dropped a new CD. After such a long hiatus you would think a band would lose some of its focus and compassion, not for Earth Crisis. It sounds like they never missed a beat. They are perhaps best known for their political activism, particularly their views on the environment and animal rights. Earth Crisis was the band responsible for bringing these issues to the forefront of the hardcore scene in the mid-nineties.
