3WAKE
Thought Form Descent

(Death Metal / Post-Metal / Grindcore)

Discordant brutality at its most sophisticated. The whole album flows together so damn well that it is one of the few albums I regularly listen to all the way through. Surprisingly atmospheric at times.

2Bad Bunny
Un Verano Sin Ti

(Reggaeton / Pop)

Congrats to Benito on making $3.26 on those spotify plays

https://open.spotify.com/album/3RQQmkQEvNCY4prGKE6oc5
1MICO
Zigurat

(Grindcore / Death Metal / Noise)

Breahtaking brutality, chaos, and ferocity that never devolves into directionless sensory overload. Good companion piece to Wake's album from this year.
