February '25 Jams Pt. 2
A selection of albums and EPs released this week (technically since last Friday) I enjoyed. |
| 1 |  | Atomic Goatcrime
Thermonuclear Humanicide
War (ECU)
https://atomicgoatcrime.bandcamp.com/album/thermonuclear-humanicide
Let's start with the stuff that came out last weekend. Full-length debut by these Ecuadorian warlords. Relentless blasts. Definitely worth a listen for fans of the genre. |
| 2 |  | Vacant Moley
The Programmed Obsolescence of Your Kind
Experimental Slam | BDM (USA-FL)
https://vacantmoley.bandcamp.com/album/the-programmed-obsolescence-of-your-kind
https://open.spotify.com/album/03yIosQb3OmC4tKDP2Ljop
Sick one-man project. This is his first full-length, and it's full of neat little surprises. Slamheads owe it to themselves to check this. |
| 3 |  | Continuum Of Xul
Voratore
Death Metal (ITA)
https://continuumofxul.bandcamp.com/album/voratore
Not sure what happened here, but this was supposed to be released on the 20th. This had been on my wishlist for a while, and I'm glad it was dropped almost two weeks early. Slightly techy dm with some disso leanings. Great stuff. |
| 4 |  | Obscureviolence
Refuting the Flesh
DM | BM (RUS)
https://obscureviolence.bandcamp.com/album/refuting-the-flesh
Transcending Obscurity keeps pumping out releases at an insane pace this year, and they haven't missed yet. While far from a masterpiece, this is a very good, no-frills blackdeath album. 22 minutes of crushing riffs. |
| 5 |  | Chaos Inception
Vengeance Evangel
Death Metal (USA-AL)
https://lavadome.bandcamp.com/album/vengeance-evangel
Another one from the wishlist. A true dm banger I'll be spending more time with over the coming days. Mixed and mastered by Andrea P. of Ad Nauseam fame. |
| 6 |  | Oreamnos
Futility
DM | Doom Death (USA-CA/USA-NY)
https://bloodymountainrecords.bandcamp.com/album/futility-e-p
Short'n'sweet EP by this doomy duo. Features their trademark ritualistic soundscapes. If you liked their 2023 album, check this. |
| 7 |  | Pyrrhic Salvation
When Society Crumbles
Tech | Core | Prog (USA-VA)
https://pyrrhicsalvation.bandcamp.com/album/when-society-crumbles
Another EP. Production is kinda weird, but there's some cool ideas on this one. |
| 8 |  | Gore Animal
In the Name of Brutality
BDM (IDN)
https://pathologicallyexplicit.bandcamp.com/album/gore-animal-in-the-name-of-brutality
Rather melodic bdm with lots of riffs and the occasional slam. |
| 9 |  | Putrescent (IDN)
Butchery of Disembowelment
BDM | Slam (IDN)
https://tradingthecadavers.bandcamp.com/album/butchery-of-disembowelment
No idea what the actual release date for this one is. It's slated for July 2nd, was uploaded on Feb 7th and says "Issue: 2024" on the bc page. In any case, this is some good bdm action. Gives off faint 'DS at home' vibes every so often. |
| 10 |  | Kosuke Hashida
Outrage
DM | Grind | Thrash (JPN)
https://hpgd.bandcamp.com/album/outrage
This guy rules. Riffs, blasts and grinds. |
| 11 |  | Summoned
Torment Nexus
DM | BDM | Thrash (USA-NC)
https://summonednc.bandcamp.com/album/torment-nexus
