Just like in the old days when I had started this thread, I plan to periodically update this with cool findings and whatnot. I expect it will slow down sometime soon for many reasons, but also it's a great place for any of you to post anything too. I mostly favor old-school style, but I will likely post some of the newest releases that I have enjoyed as well.

Skeletal Remains: This band is definitely right for anyone who prefers their new death metal releases to be old school. A lot of Pestilence, Obituary, and Death-worship to be found in this band. Also, the band really just really knows how to groove. They excel when they slow things down into half time, but they're really great all around.
Give them a listen:

Cist: Another outstanding old-school-tinged death metal band. This EP, The Frozen Casket, is one I've had my eyes open for in anticipation for over a year. I have been thoroughly impressed by it. I think one can hear a lot of Death, Autopsy, Morgoth, and Pestilence in this band. Not much different from Skeletal Remains, the band I posted first here. Although similar, they are no less worth your time if you like this kind of music!

Tomb Mold: just a couple months ago I came across this band and immediately dug them. They just released their new album not too long ago and just by chance I happen to see them the other night with Of Feather and Bone. Pretty tight live, great vocals, solid band all the way around.

I was glad to see Tomb Mold getting some attention. Yeah, that was a great release!

Ripped to Shreds: One-man band by a Chinese guy living in Southern California. Definitely some fierce old school death metal worship here. You can hear plenty of Entombed's influence on this one.

Nice to see this thread getting some action now.
Haemophagus: I've introduced this band before, but in the time I was away from TDM, they released a new album, Stream of Shadows, which was my #1 album of last year! They have just enough grindy elements to be interesting and don't overdo it for me. Sort of like Carcass.

Gouge: A Norwegian duo featuring a current and ex member of Condor (one of the most solid black/thrash bands out today) doing their best Autopsy worship, and perhaps kicking it into higher gear. This is a band I hope to hear a lot more from soon!

Atavisma: French Death/Doom, which is very old school influenced. What turned me on to these guys just now is how they don't just do the slow stuff, but they can also play very fast. It makes for very dynamic songwriting in the death/doom field. I read a review of an earlier EP describing their sound which I found hilariously fitting: "Dirtier than a crusty herpes covered pair of shit smeared lips wrapped around a dusty dildo." Well, sounds disgusting, but good old school death metal is that! lol

Oxygen Destroyer: Two cups death metal, one additional cup of thrash, and this kicks all the asses! The riffage going on here is incredible, and their sound is raw like I like it. Fast is the name of the game, and they bring it in brutal fashion!
