Damn, this album is the bomb! I'm glad I decided to listen to this one right away and not sit on it for a couple of months, the way I have been doing recently. These guys create a nice chug in their death design, somewhat similar to another favorite of mine, Molder.

I came across this disc back in July, and I have listened to it a few times now, and it has grown on me quite well. There is not much information about this band in the "usual places," but from what I have found, they're a new 3-piece band that hails from Germany and Syria, and they have an interesting take on modern death metal.

Here is another one-man brutality project, this time from Genoa, Italy, and I like this one. He isn't doing anything new, but what he does, he does well. On a side note, I wonder what's up with the poor rip quality this year. You know, supposedly a rip is 320 Kbps, but the frequency response says otherwise. I don't pay a lot of attention to it, but my man, Ill over at STB always reports it, and this is one of many recordings this year that aren't as bright and clear as they could/should be.

Cumbeast isn't a band that I have spent a lot of time listening to over the years, as I really didn't care much for them when I first heard their 2008 release, but then I did like their 2015 & 16 albums. They are certainly an interesting band with their sense of experimentation and groove. I finally got around to listening to this album a few weeks back, and it has some very good moments. Certainly a different sound than I am used to hearing from Finland.

Damn, this is some heavy, saucy, groove-laden death metal from a 2-man project outta Davenport, Iowa. The dudes obviously don't take themselves too seriously and somewhat remind me of Cannnabis Corpse in that sense, with the difference that one band creates death metal about smoking weed and getting stoned, and the other creates death metal about grilling succulent meat. With both bands, the music is on point and performed to perfection.

As it would turn out, this would be the band's last toke. Based on their Metal Archives page, it says they disbanded on 10/17/25. That is a damn shame because they always provided a great buzz. Every strain they produced was primo, and this album is no different, so at least they went out on a high note.

I don't know why, but when I saw this band's name, I was thinking that it was an older European band with previous releases, but that isn't the case here. This is a 1-man project from Missouri with programmed drums (bleech!), but it actually sounds pretty damn good to me. The video link above was posted by the artist, so leave him a comment.

Supposedly, this band has been active since 1988, but I am not sure how many original members remain, and they didn't have an album until 2022, and that was just a compilation of 4 studio tracks and some live material from 2015/16. This is their first true album in 37 years of existence, and I don't know what to say about it other than I really like it. There are some nice guitar riffs and leads, and it just rocks!

I am not really sure that there are any "original" members of this band remaining in the current lineup, but half of the band has been there for all of the albums. I have always liked their music, but not really a band I have listened to a lot over the years. Their 2017 album, posted below, is good but the rip is so low volume that I have to crank it up to 30 just to be able to hear it. However, this album caught my attention recently and deserves some praise and attention.

I have long been a fan of this band and can't believe that I didn't already have more of their catalog posted here. They have been consistently creative on all of the releases that I am familiar with, going back 25 years to Evil Planet. This new album is no different, as they're still creating effective brutality.
