This is different from what you typically get from Indonesia, and while I have long been a fan of Indo-death metal, I'm liking the change-up sound that these guys captured on this disc.

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/

Psilocybin obsessed brutality from Wallingford, Connecticut. I don't think these guys are microdosing; I think they are eating full-on grams. They say you don't trip unless you throw up. Well, I never threw up, but I sure as hell went on some trips back in the day.

Witness: -[*]-
I was completely unaware of this band until I came across this EP a couple of weeks back, and upon listening, I was immediately hooked by their brand of aggressive thrash metal. The vocals may be a bit of an acquired taste, but they suit the music, and the guitars are spot on. This disc got me to go search out their earlier releases, of which they have 5 full-length albums and 2 EPs over a 16-year span.

8. Sentient Inorganic Mess

Witness: -[*]-
I like this disc for a few reasons. First off, the band creates a grisly old-school chug that I really enjoy, and then the drummer is bringing cymbals back to death metal. I am not sure if it is his technique or the way he has them mic'ed, but they really stand out in the mix. The only thing missing is the Deivos cowbell. The other interesting thing is that this band has the exact same lineup as Oath Div. 666, which also plays old-school sounding death metal with a more Satanic slant.

Here is a disc that I have had on my phone for a while now, but I only just recently got around to listening to it. Immediately, the old-school riffs and heavy bottom end caught my attention, so I did some research and discovered that one of the guitarists is the same dude from Glutted Swarm who created one of my favorite albums from 2024. I am not saying this is a great album, but I like it, and wanted to share it for those who may have missed it.

I really liked the band's previous album, but it took me a bit to warm up to this one; now that I have, I am liking it as well. They are building on their songwriting chops and created a more mature-sounding album, and I think they got a better production as well.

Damn, this is a gritty, heavy fukking thrash metal album! Very good in my opinion, and I am not sure how much attention this one might have gotten. It was released last August, and I didn't come across it until November, so maybe others missed this as well. Check it now for sure.

I really liked this band from their early releases back in the first decade of the 2000s. Then, I kind of lost them and didn't pay a lot of attention to their 2014 album. When this, their latest release, dropped in December of last year, it took me some time to get to it, and while it hasn't quite recaptured the vibe that I got from them many years ago, it's not bad either.
