DM/BM Groups on the Verge of Creative Sucess

[Arctic Sun]

I was hoping some people here could provide band names and links to artists who seem to be on the brink of releasing something great: their current material is good, but there's a little more work to be done before it becomes legendary.

One I've been playing a few times per day is Necronaut's "In Dark Tribute" featuring a (or some) members of "Dismember."  The second track sounds like a great continuation of "Autopsy," although I wouldn't be surprised if it's a cover.  Whatever the case, very promising.

One of my favorite bands since years who is about to release a new album is Infernal Nature. What I heard of it so far is excellent, at least for my taste. Looking for a good label...

[K. Sear]

Profanity.  While their first album was forgettable, the follow up "Slaughtering Thoughts" marks a huge improvement in composition.  It strikes me as what a blending of Gorgasm and Sinister would sound like.  They have already accomplished something significant by writing something worthy of attention in a sub-genre of death metal dominated by idiocy.  If they can further improve on their sound and find an element of originality, they would be into the realm of A class material.

[ThornLacerationRecords]

Merciless Crucifixion's Airesis. Absolutely brilliant demo put out by Black Seed back in 2006. The band hasn't done anything new since then but the members are apparently going to record some material again in the future. Their demo was nearly spot-on in every respect; totally crushing and savage black metal.
