Products similar to Poor Man's Heaven - Seth Lakem...
Thrash Metal - Blood Tsunami
Straightforward and accessible with enjoyable riffs and solos
Somewhat generic
Ten - Blitzkrieg
The band comfortably integrates into the nineties.
Later songs sound similar.
Teknowhore - Bile
More atmospheric and compelling than the previous album.
Some bizarre commercial deviations that don't sit well, and generally overlong and tedious.
Sex Reflex - Bile
May have made Krztoff some more money.
Alienates more serious fans.
Nightmare Before Krztoff - Bile
Fills in what was missing with the predecessor.
Still repetitive and often tedious.
Insect Song - Beyond The Embrace
Improved vocal style, and less exclusively derivative of melodeath bands.
Songs lack the variety and energy of the previous album.
Grind Bastard - Benediction
Catchy, riff-driven death metal, with some interesting classic rock/metal covers.
Sound is repetitive, and the album perhaps lasts a little too long for its style.
Demonic Electronic - Bile
The return of the darkness and evil.
Not as varied as previous works.
Copy Machine - Bile
You may know the original songs...
...but these covers are nothing special.
Breeding Death - Bloodbath
Crunchy, unpretentious old school death metal with great riffs and vocals
Short, even for an EP
