It seems that Corpse Water is a 1-man project from Belfast, and for my tastes, this dude has created some damn good death metal!

I was completely unaware of this band until just about a week ago, and I am so glad I discovered them now because this is a very good disc. It is definitely on the melodic side, but it remains highly engaging. These guys are supposedly still active and long overdue for new material. I hope we get some.

I like this one quite a bit, but wish it were a bit grittier and heavier at times. It doesn't matter, as I get older and farther away from my favored times in the 1980s, I'm a sucker for albums like this. These guys are competently repurposing riffs from back in the day, everything from Iron Maiden to a twist on the Detroit Rock City riff from Kiss, and it works.

I've slept on this album for long enough now. I really liked the dude's previous work in this 1-man project band. Well, it seems there is actually a band to perform live now, but my understanding is that everything on display here was performed by just the main dude.

Heart Ripper is a 1-man does it all wrecking crew who has created a fairly energetic and entertaining death metal album with these tracks.

Witness: -[*]-
Back in 2014, when I heard Body Harvest's debut, Futile Creation, I was immediately impressed by their brand of death metal, but for some reason, I didn't pay as much attention to this album. It is not that this is a bad album; it's not, but I guess there has been too much death and not enough life to enjoy it all. Sadly, these guys split up following this release.

This disc from back in the day was/is killer, and I am calling 16 years ago "back in the day." Usually back in the day would be 35 - 40 years ago. Thanks to defleshed for getting me to go back and listen to this one again.

Hey, be sure to check out Rancid Cadaver! This is a newer band from Glasgow, and they're cranking out some festering old school death metal, and I'm liking it.

Concrete Age is such an interesting band stylistically and in their overall skill level. Originally from Russia, these guys now reside in the UK, and they have created yet another quality album in their unique style. I only became aware of them in 2023 with their Bardo Thodol album, and then they released another strong offering in 24 with Motherland, and now this album. They continue to create diverse and entertaining music for the open-minded.

Wow, this is tight! Some of the newer tech-death can be too wanky and "core-ish" and it detracts from the listenability, and while this band does have a bit of that in their style, it is not over-powering. The 2 guitarists and the bass player have been together since 2014 with 2 EPs and a few singles to show for it, but over the past few years they added a new drummer and vocalist, and this unit created a disc that is fukking solid and killer \m/\m/
