Corrosive Agent is a new German band who, based on their bio, recorded, mixed & mastered this album themselves, and they got a great sound. Proof that there is no need to have shitty sound quality in the production, like many bands are getting nowadays. These guys play what I would call modern melodic death groove, and I'm mostly liking it. Some parts are a bit slow, and the songs can tend to drag, but the band's heavier side is interesting and appealing to me, so I keep listening. I would say this disc is worth checking out if you're open to the progressive/melodic slant in their style.

I am sure there are quite a few people who come here who will completely skip over this band because of the metalcore/groove tag, but I'm here to tell you that this disc is really a pretty good listen. There are some nice riffs and leads, and I like the dude's vocal delivery and cadence. Not bad at all.

Accu§er has been active in the German thrash scene since 1986 but has always toiled in relative obscurity compared to some of their countrymates like Destruction, Tankard, & Kreator just to name a few. I have a couple of their older albums in my files but they have never really grabbed me but I do like some of the tracks on this newest release.

I have meant to post this disc for a long time and kept overlooking it in my files. This came out in December and I heard it in January and I immediately liked the melodic trashiness of the tracks and gave it frequent spins when commuting back & forth to work in the 1st couple weeks of the year but then so much more new stuff flooded in that I lost track of it.

Here is yet another new band to me, and they have created another interesting album that I really like. It seems that Osculant Brutality is a 2-man project where the main guy from Italy plays all of the instruments and does the vocals and the 2nd dude from Boise, Idaho writes the lyrics. Lyrics can be very important, and in these tracks, you can actually understand what is being said most of the time, so they are important but to me, the guy who plays all of the instruments and performs the vocals is the band and he is talented. You gotta crank this one up because it is recorded a little low but overall this jams \m/\m/

I really liked this disc back in '94 even though I will admit that it is a bit disjointed and uncomfortable at times. I was just making the transition into death metal in this time period but thrash, alternative, & hardcore were still very much in my wheelhouse back then. I have their '95 disc on CD as well but it didn't do as much for me.
