Mortuary – Great Black Earth (2026)

Almost no one understands what made speed metal great, looking from the outside-in as any time after the era tends to do, nor what made those transitional bands like Slayer, Rigor Mortis, and Destruction so powerful.

These bands used the tremolo strum like death metal instead of the palm-muted percussive riffing that Metallica and Exodus made famous, and this technique requires different song structures to support it, something that Mortuary understood on their first album and carry through to the present.

These songs incorporate more of the bounce from Destruction and Testament, but all of the Slayer and Morbid Angel speed thrills in fast featherstrum riffs that soar above the trudging rhythms of speed metal and give these songs a quality like a darkened angel soaring over a burning Earth.

      Only white supremacy is real… the only way.

      Anything else is fairyland delsuion and degeneracy.

      1. It’s weird how the ancients were right all along: the happiest societies have good kings, are mono-ethnic, have social hierarchy, follow folkways and aesthetics of their culture, and have their own religions, not these fast food style internationalist organized religions from foreign lands.

        But, to get us to mono-ethnicism, we have to embrace pan-nationalism, which means everyone gets nationalism. No point tearing down our Black, brown, yellow, and red brothers, just as it makes sense to encourage them to return to continental homes and build up their own people.

          The global collapse will continue until morale improves.

        2. Metalfuehrer says:

          Its about promoting your own kind, not hatin on others.

          1. Agreed. People want to live among those who are of the same race, caste/class, ethne, religion, and general political leaning. This is natural and sane.

    Turns out I had Mortuary (MX) confused with Mortem (PE). They’re both in for a rude awakening if they think merely living in entirely different hemispheres is enough to keep me from mixing them up.

    But seriously it is kind of funny how death and black metal from south of the U.S. border tend to be thought of as both exotic and somewhat interchangeable.
