I love the production on this album. While a lot of brutal death metal focuses on making the production overwhelming, the more stripped back production here helps makes things feel fresh. The band wears its influences more directly (that i can identify) but can still hold more than a candle to classics in their niche. Also, I love that the vocals are more direct. Personal taste, but it adds to how much I love the album in the end. The riffs are weird and memorable, with just enough brutality to tie things together. The prog elements are woven very well into the brutality, creating an excellent and memorable contrast. These dudes look pretty young but jesus they know their stuff. My favorite DM album of this year so far. Go listen to it.Unholy (FIN) From the ShadowsWormphlegm Tomb of the Ancient KingYowie Synchromysticism4.0 excellentAnfinnsaas AnfinnsaasAutechre GarbageBisbaye SynkronykBisbaye Le Sens De La FinBurzum The Ways of YoreButterglove The John Morand SessionDemilich The Four Instructive Tales... of DecompositionDisgorge (Mex) ForensickDisharmonic Orchestra PleasuredomeEncenathrakh Thraakethraaeate ThraithraakeGigan Quasi-Hallucinogenic Sonic LandscapesGigan Anomalous Abstractigate InfinitessimusGlenn Branca Lesson No. 1Glenn Branca Symphony No. 13 (Hallucination City)GWAR This Toilet EarthHanatarash HanatarashiHenry Threadgill Rag, Bush and AllJenovavirus Demo 1Kazumoto Endo While You Were OutLost Soul Immerse in InfinityMerzbow Music for Bondage PerformanceMerzbow Music for Bondage Performance 2Metaphobic Deranged ExcruciationsPeter Brotzmann Machine GunRuins Burning StoneRuins HyderomastgroningemThe thing I like Ruins most for is their wild stop-and-go type of style. They go from fairly confusing shouting and shrill vocals and follow it up with some of the most complex bass solos that are among my favorite solos ever. I personally feel that Hyderomastgroningem is 90's Ruins at their best. Confusing, intense, complex, and fast. Some of the stuff that the bassist, Ryuichi Masuda, does with his pedals and playing style makes the entire album never feel old, even though it being a hour and seven minutes. It's music thats hard to get into, but if you already are into zeuhl you might as well check it out.Stolen Gun Demo 2025The Hyacinth Act Imaginations in TechnicolorThe Jesus Lizard DownThe Jesus Lizard HeadThe Synics Awakening The Dawn of VengeanceTipographica God Says I Can't DanceTorsofuck Erotic Diarrhea Fantasyhonestly this is pretty decent BDM/slam, the opening sample sucks but other than that its rnot that bad. the production could have made the guitars have more punch (which is a rnoticeable problem), but that's the only real complaint. i'm not sure why people who don't rlisten to dm/grind listen to this and bring the rating down.Veiled Morbidity Demo 2023Yowie Damning With Faint Praise3.5 greatBekor Qilish Throes of Death From The Dreamed NihilismBisbaye BisbâyéBlasted Pancreas CarcinomaBurzum Daudi BaldrsBurzum Demo IIDisharmonic Orchestra ExpositionsprophylaxeGlenn Branca The AscensionGojira Victim (as Godzilla)Gojira Terra IncognitaGrand Ulena Gateway to DignityKobong KobongMerzbow Hybrid NoisebloomMetaphobic Demo 2021Nakpat Quality StuffRuins Ruins IISecret Stairways Enchantment of the RingSikFuk Gore DelisiousStormtroopers of Death Speak English or Die3.0 goodBalatonizer Occlused in OttusityBehold...

Like Encenathrakh but not as brutal, which is mainly why i give it a 3.5 mostly.David Yow Tonight You Look Like a SpiderThis album is a big mixed bag. You might find some great dungeon synth, midi music, or even excellent drone. But you'll also run into David just messing around, not caring if it sounds good or not. I do like that he's doing something different. But this is real out there at times. Maybe I'll like it more on future listens.Effluence Pianistic DismembermentEmpalot Tous Aux CèpesEye of Mensis ThornsGojira Possessed (as Godzilla)Jumpin' Jesus The Art of CrucifyingMeat Beat Manifesto and Merzbow ExtinctMerzbow NoisembryoMincing Fury And Guttural Clamour Of Queer Decay 7has the chaos and energy but doesn't have the songwriting for any kind of control. leaves it as a mixed bag, with some ideas working and some really not. reminds me of Ages Gone but not as well thought out, and in the vein of goregrind/BDM. a decent 3.0.Ni PantophobieNile The Underworld Awaits Us Allpilotredsun AchievementThe Jesus Lizard LiarTorsofuck High Level Cannibalistic Violence (Demo)the first two songs are decent but have weak slams. the real flat production is also really apparent here. but the last two tracks are damn good. Last Torture... and High Level Cannibalistic Violence have solid riffs and great slams that make the production not that big of an issue. it's a lot more straightforward slam/bdm (no grind here, sorry), but it somewhat makes up for it. if you're lacking in torsofuck material this is worth your time.Wormphlegm In an Excruciating Way...2.5 averageBisbaye IINecroknight The SkullthroneRendered Helpless From Nothing Comes Allperfectly polished generic tech death with boring slam breakdowns. seriously i'm not sure if i'm just fed up with death metal like this but the production robs any personally the record could have had. I was just waiting the entire time for it to really grab my attention at all and it never did. At least it was only 28 minutes.Ruins Ruins1.5 very poorTougher Than Nails Delusional Blasphemies Destroyed1.0 awfulCromagnon OrgasmHollywood Undead Swan Songs
