Review: Sunless – Ylem
This 3-piece’s sophomore effort might be the most memorable anti-memorable dissodeath I’ve heard all year.
Review: Deviant Process – Nurture
Deliciously proggy techdeath with palpable Cynic influences.
Review: Vauruvã – Manso Queimor Dacordado
Raw atmospheric black metal with a ton of heart, enthralling melodies, and a unique spin on the genre.
Review: Teitan – Vákuum
This is an oppressive, murky slab of acerbic and ritualistic black metal. The vocal layers are dense and haunting, combining harshes and uncomfortable cleans into walls of throat-rending expression, complementing the dynamic chaos of these focused and compellingly unique compositions
Review: Ænigmatum – Deconsecrate
Fantastically intricate blackened death metal with classic energy but bass-heavy and dissodeath-inspired chops.
Review: Speech Act – Letters on Extinction’s Piece
Perfection without pretention, this is fucking superb! Scratching my O’Brother itch, but so so much more – huge dynamics and post-hardcore emotions collide with impeccable songwriting sensibilities in a compelling reflection on the destruction humanity has wrought on nature.
Review: Burial in the Sky – The Consumed Self
Lose yourself in this dynamic, progressive, sax-filled technical death metal epic.
Review: Erdve – Savigaila
A mixed bag of the most furious metallic hardcore this side of End… alongside a bunch of immersive psychedelic filler.
