Wow, this album is so good! I know the death metal only crowd won't like it, or will ask where it was at 40 years ago, but the people who have more diverse tastes similar to mine will certainly be totally into this band. I want to thank our resident Goa Trance officinato Unbound for the heads up on these guys. Just looking at the album art, I expected something much less intriguing and would have probably never given this album a chance if he hadn't promoted it so strongly. Awesome \m/\m/

The Greeks seem to be cultivating an awesome power metal scene with these guys, Sacred Outcry, & Battleroar being just the bands that I am aware of. To me, this style harkens back to my youth and is a nice change of pace from the brutal barrage of death metal.

I seem to remember CarlG promoting this release several months back, and it is not bad at all. Not to be confused with the German Zombie Riot, this is a Greek band who create a solid style of mid-paced, straightforward death metal in their own right. Their self-titled EP from 2022 is good as well.

Here is another band that I had forgotten about until I started going down the Pestifer rabbit hole and came across this post here from June 2013, so I decided to bring them to the front of the house again.  Supposedly they're still active but this has been their only release.

I don't claim to be any kind of expert on black metal because I don't listen to most of it, but I know that I like this album. These Greeks are melodic, epic, technical, and at times vicious. This is entertaining to me.

Witness: -[*]-
This album came out in early November and CarlG was the first to mention it and point them out to me since he knew I liked them from their previous album but I chose not to listen to it right away. That's okay, because here in the past week or so it has been new to me and I am enjoying it immensely. Excellent progression for the band.

Witness: -[*]-
I came across this album a few months back listened to it, liked it, and purchased a copy on BC thinking it was a 2024 release. I didn't realize this was from 2022 until today when putting the post together and that is pretty sad considering that I had gone to their Metal-Archives page a few different times in the past for information. I feel like this has a strong power metal vibe but they are labeled as heavy/doom metal. Anyway, if you are open to any of those styles then be sure to check these guys out.

10. Enforcer

11. Malice and Lust

Witness: -[*]-
Damn, listening to this album from White Tower makes me feel like I dropped a tab of Purple Microdot and took a trip back to 1983. These guys have managed to capture all of the best aspects of early 80s metal and wrapped it in a modern production to create an authentically nostalgic collection of songs that kick ass. I love death metal but to me, the early 80s before the Sunset Strip and hair metal ruined the scene this style was my first true passion.

The latest release from In Utero Cannibalism and considering this is the first album I have heard from them in almost a decade (I missed their 2023 release) I think this is damn solid.

I really liked this band up to this album but then they didn't release anything for almost 8 years and I lost track of them until their latest release dropped in April. I really liked this disc as it has enough variety to keep it very entertaining all the way through these 13 tracks \m/\m/

Damn, this is another stellar death metal album for 2023 from a relatively new band Ascending Olympus! Thanks to CarlG for mentioning these guys in his 2023 BOTY list because I had missed it when this came out in April of last year. There was a lot of killer death in '23 and this ranks near the top for me.

2-man brutality from Thessaloniki, I had kind of overlooked this band until I heard their latest EP last year. I am glad that I am on to them now because this is a good album and they have a 2021 release that I need to listen to as well.

I first discovered Endless Recovery with their 2015 release Revel in Demise and I immediately fell in love with their violent old-school brand of thrash metal. I didn't come across this their 1st LP until 2018 and by that time the band had already split up, which is a shame because they created some neck-snapping music.
