Wake – Devouring Ruin
They’ve taken the venom they normally spew, distilled it, and slowed it down.

Equally capable of drawing you into a zone of thoughtful contemplation, as they are able to straight up punch you in the mouth, repeat listens reveal a quality of craftsmanship that I missed in my first listen.
Under the Pledge of Secrecy – Empire of Bastards
Fortunately, Under the Pledge of Secrecy have mastered the science of mixing styles of extreme metal in their proper proportions. The result is certainly explosive, but in a very good way.
Hayduke’s Top 50 of 2019
The Top 50 release of 2019 according to Hayduke X.
Birdflesh – Extreme Graveyard Tornado
The album is a ripper, chock full of riffs and blast, thundering bass, manic yells, screams, and bile, a pinch of humor, and some well placed samples.
Drink Their Blood – Face Of Opprobrium
Face Of Opprobrium is a challenging album that asks a lot of the listener. Accepting the challenge is not in vain though, as the payoff is exceptional.

Hayduke’s Top 50 of 2018

Cloud Rat – Clipped Beaks/Silk Panic
one of the most daring bands in music right
