EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Fractal Generator – Cryogenian
“Convergence” is absolutely visceral and will hold its grip on you for a long time to come.
EXCLUSIVE ALBUM PREMIERE: Wounds – Ruin
The key point here is that the album is excellent, a brutal example of tech death as it should be, chock full of malevolent soul and spiteful menace.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK PREMIERE: Nuclear Tomb – Fatal Visions
Prominent bass, nasty riffs, and an overall belligerence do make Fatal Visions a memorable track.
EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE: Wounds – The Archfiend’s Apothecary
It is clear that the band has a clear and brutal vision, that they are gifted composers, and that they are talented musicians.
EXCLUSIVE FULL ALBUM STREAM: Engulf – The Dying Planet Weeps
My one complaint is that I wish it were about five minutes longer, but there is something to be said for an album leaving the listener wanting more.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK PREMIERE: Revulsed – Nefarious Devourment
This is the foulest of foul, and one of the rare releases of this style that doesn’t bore me to tears.
EXCLUSIVE FULL ALBUM STREAM: Seraphic Entombment – Sickness Particles Gleam
It lives within the boundaries of the style (with some blackening, but that’s not so abnormal), but does so with a unique putrefaction that makes it stand out above the rest.
EXCLUSIVE DUAL TRACK PREMIERE: Organ Dealer – Truth Blinders/Endless Despondence
The attack on The Weight of Being is poignant and powerful, both lyrically and sonically.
DRUM PLAYTHROUGH: Instigate – Embrace the End
Relentless power roars forward throughout Unheeded Warnings of Decay, like a tsunami headed toward shore, with equal measures of imminent destruction.
