TWO PRETTY ALRIGHT NEW-SCHOOL DM BANDS

Aaaaaaand my DM kick continues. Today I’d like to highlight two newer bands carrying the DM torch into the ’10s.

• Burning the Masses: If you can get past their eye-bleeding (literally and figuratively) MySpace design, BtM (not to be confused with Beneath the Massacre) offer some pretty brutal and adept DM for such a young bunch of dudes. It’s like Job For A Cowboy’s more recent stuff — but more interesting, IMO — with a tinge more technicality and Black Dahlia Murder-style Swedish influence. They’re young, so naturally there are breakdowns, but they seem well-balanced and intentioned. New song “Resonance of the Foul” from their forthcoming album Offspring of Time is their heaviest yet, and mercifully it’s breakdown free. [Thanks: MS Maniac Pioneer jtquake]
• Ignominious Incarceration: Kinda like the above with many of the same influences but with a little more of the Cannibal Corpse-style groove thing going on. More swagger, more groovez.
