Yesterday, I was looking for something to jam on in the car on the way home from work, so I opened my Bandcamp app and swiped up several times to quickly scroll through the 1,218 albums in my purchased collection and like a roulette wheel wherever it stops I will pick something that appears on the screen to listen to. Luckily, this album appeared as I had not listened to it in quite some time and I was quickly reminded just how good this is. They have a self-titled 2017 release that is good as well. Check these guys out if you are not familiar.

These guys are from Colorado Springs and have 4 full lengths and a demo dating back to 2002. This is the only release that I have; even on their Bandcamp page, it is the only one available. That is a shame because this is a very good album and based on what I have heard on YouTube their older stuff is good too. I had completely forgotten about this album until my buddy nuttinface mentioned them to me earlier this week and then I realized that I had originally posted this on 5/16/15, so I decided to bring them back to the front of the house so others could acquaint themselves with this album as well.

8. Insidious Intentions

Witness: -[*]-
This band has been around for more than 20 years now but this is my first exposure to their work. This is pretty straightforward death metal with no frills added and not a bad listen. Not that it is relevant to the quality of the release but it is interesting to me that this release is 8 tracks at 24 minutes 11 seconds and is considered an EP. Based on the running time I agree with the EP tag however, they also have a 2019 release called Dissonance that consists of 8 tracks at just over 25 minutes and is considered an LP. I guess the extra minute makes the difference but I always considered an LP a collection of songs that was at least 30+ minutes.

There are so many 1 and 2-man bands nowadays and here is another with Uninhibited from Bavaria. This is 2 guys with one performing all instruments and the other on vocals. As I have stated many times this bugs me a little because I like to know there is a "real band" performing the music but when it is good like this album is, then I just go with it.

Not to be confused with the US band Scumbag from New York who also released a good album in October last year, these guys are plural and from Tours, France. I really like this album, their style is labeled as death metal/hardcore, but I am not hearing a heavy dose of hardcore it is just death metal to me.

Now, they have 6 full-length releases and 2 in 2024 with this being the newest. The album is pretty good, not overly brutal, and has a nice flow and groove. Check it out.

I saw this release back in July and listened to it and really liked it but then it got buried and I didn't listen to it for a long time, so I am just now getting around to promoting the band and learning that it is another 1-man project band. Unfortunately, that always bothers me when I really like the album because I want to imagine the songs being played in a live setting by a complete band and if it is just 1 or 2 members then you know it's studio only.

I saw these guys live twice back in the early part of the 2000s and both of the sets were killer, they were a very good live band with Trevor Strnad as a frontman. I haven't followed their releases closely since Everblack in 2013 but I like the new albums and feel that Brian Eschbach, who has been with the band as a guitarist since the beginning fills in admirably on vocals.
