Nuclear Death - Bride of Insect (1990)

Genre: Deathgrind
Country: USA

All you really have to do is look at that album cover and imagine exactly what that would sound like if it were music and that works pretty well to describe Nuclear Death.  Probably one of the most unintentionally strange death metal bands to ever exist, Nuclear Death hailed from the sweltering heat of Arizona, sported a female vocalist/bassist, and made some of the most savage, fucked up grinding death metal that's ever been put on an album.  The vocal performance, provided by the now legendary Lori Bravo, is enough to warrant listening to this album alone, but the accompanying savage thrashing, grinding, death metal attack makes Bride of Insect more than just a novelty from a time when no one gave a fuck about how you were supposed to sound and just made evil music in the name of evil music.  Truly an album that must be heard.

Eroded - Demo '92 (1992)

Genre: Death Metal
Country: Japan

I honestly don't know many old-school Japanese death metal bands, but I know about Eroded and for as of right now, they are more than enough. Absolutely filthy death metal with touches of grindcore, the band only got to release this and a full-length before they broke up both are definitely worth checking out. In my opinion this slightly edges out the full-length thanks to more succint songwriting and added aggression so don't be an idiot and pass on this.
