British metal band Anaal Nathrakh fuse industrial and death metal on to an underlying deth metal blanket of noise. They may not look like the usual blackmetal drum bangers but they are dark at their core. Their name meaing serpent's breath goes some way to describe the visceral roar and chilling distortion of instruments flooding together in a wall of sound.
Man Must Die are local favourites. A Glasgow based Death Metal/Grincore band with international acclaim. If ever there was a suond track for dissfection and mental tourment this is it. Forget 'core this and 'black that. This is good old fashioned melt your face off metal.
When you speak of UK bands that have carved their own niche into the landscape of underground Metal, Madman Is Absolute are one of the first acts that come to mind. Hailing from Glasgow, Madman is Absolute deal in a pestilent and unsubtle brand of sonic violence.
Spewing forth from the gutteral wastelands of Hartlepool in the north east of England. Dawn of Chaos offer old school death metal but with their own modern groove drenched technicality.
