hard grooving u.s. american death metal oc the highest order. they already called it a day as far as i know. clear silver galaxy vinyl by dark descent records. 2021.

mortiferum - altar of decay

absolutely love this band and their massive death doom sound. this re-issue of their early e.p. easily stands the test of time. what a belter. self released in 2017, re-issued by extremely rotten productions. 2023.

after the burial - wolves within

another sumerian re-press i awaited eagerly. had the chance to get a white first press copy when it was released years ago, but passed up like an idiot. mistake corrected. cloudy blue vinyl out of 500 copies. sumerian records. 2012/2022.

another cattle decap album, another masterpiece. their consistency in quality is impressive. live they are a blast, too. 300 copies pressed of this variant. metal blade. 2023.

the faceless - autotheism

a looooong awaited re-issue. i will always be a bigger fan of their simpler days but dang, this is a great album. 500 copies on oxblood/gold cornetto vinyl. sumerian records. 2012/2022.

unearth - the wretched, the ruinous

new record of this metalcore juggernaut. this is no second 'the oncoming storm' but they still know how to make a headbanger's head bang.

maroon - when worlds collide

the first two maroon albums are pure gold. the third (this one) is enjoyable and the rest, in my humble opinion, is shit. a few years back backbite records issued 'when worlds collide' on vinyl for the very first time. 200 copies made. 2006/2019.

benediction - the dreams you dread

simple but effective death metal by england's benediction. this album was released in 1995, dark times for the genre. cosmic key creation re-released this with 400 copies pressed on black/gold merge. 2022.
