Some good releases from the past week.
Hello there.
Just a relatively short list in a sort of ‘album of the week’ vein, just to spotlight a few releases from the last week that I personally enjoyed. These choices are based on first impressions and one listen each.
Anybody who knows me is aware that death metal is my particular favourite genre and so that is where I focused my time and energy this week when it came to checking out new releases. This week I’m focusing on two albums, an EP and a split.
And so to the music. The first selection is the full length album. The one I enjoyed the most in first listen was ‘Eviscerating Desolation’ by Devastrosity. This is the full length debut album by the Indonesian outfit. This is a pretty straight ahead brutal death metal album. It’s got the blasts and beats and slams you expect from the genre and isn’t doing anything particular new at all. That being said, as a fan of the genre, this just scratched an itch.
The second full length from this week that I enjoyed was ‘Ossuary’ by Scorching Tomb. Canadian death metal done to a delightful standard. If you like old school death metal and the way it provides pummelling riffs and slime soaked vocals then this is definitely one to check out.
Next up on the list is an EP from Italian band Miasmic Serum. The release, titled ‘Better Left Dead’, is four track of death metal inspired by Morbid Angel and Malevolent Creation. Whilst never hitting those highs, this shows potential. Keep your eyes on these guys.
Last up for this week is a split from two Puerto Rican bands called Necronemesis and Gangrenesia. Two suitably filthy names, the appropriately titled ‘Putrid Sanctity’ features two track from each band. I wasn’t aware of their game before this but this really hit the spot for me. Instant purchase here and also possibly for anybody who likes their death metal as gross as possible.
So that were some of the releases from the death metal buffet that I personally enjoyed this week. What releases caught your attention?
Hails!
