Dumb fun brutal dm with an awesome and hilarious theme. It's worth it if you're wanting something more run of the mill but not totally generic.

Slimelord got grosser with their second EP and really upped their production. This gets a bit faster than their first EP and continues in the theme of compositional weirdness.

Slimelord's debut EP is solid for a death-doom release. It's creeping, dynamic, and weird. If you think this is simple, boring death-doom, you might wanna listen again more closely. There's a lot more going on with the dynamism and effects than you might realize.

Slimelord is hinting at a really promising musical development with this one. Death on the Bayou is their best song yet, with a serious up in musicianship and production. The weirdness is not only still there, but leaned into. The dynamism has continually improved over each release and I think is the highest attribute of Slimelord's music. I'm really looking forward to seeing what the group has in store for us.

Wow. Serious contender for 2022 AOTY. Dischordia's Triptych is dissonant proggy technical brutal death metal with orchestral elements sprinkled in. The musicianship (both composition and technique) and production are off the charts with this album. No fluff, this is bulletproof all the way through. The interludes are a welcome respite that add a lot of flavor and theme to the album. No doubt Dischordia is a top tier act right now. This is a must buy.

I had no idea there was proggy technical brutal death metal anywhere near this caliber. It's hard to overstate just how well this album succeeds in doing exactly what the band set out to do. You just gotta hear this one out in full.

This is the most absurd and chaotic shit I've heard in a while. The production is so very well done with the demented vaporwave aesthetic mashed with the mind-numbing brutality of FLUIDS' goregrind. This is easily my go to deathgrind in 2022.

Absolutely love the melodic element in this album. It's not often I'll listen to an album primarily for the lead guitar, and even less often I enjoy a black metal album, but this one is a rare exception for me. The opening to the final song is just superb, and the return to the same melody near the end of the song feels triumphant. We need more metal like this.

Muddy deathgrind with over the top grossness is such a fun time. This album sounds exactly as the cover looks: dark and filthy.

THORN continues in evolving his sound and carries much over from his second album, borrowing less from his first. Much of this album blends together, unfortunately, and while the sound is more extreme and brutal, the production sounds almost brickwalled with not much dynamism. The cavernousness of The Encompassing Nothing is gone, which is disappointing because I do think that's THORN's best work so far (and it really is quite good). I'm hoping THORN is able to find surer footing with his sound.

Solid OSDM flecked with doom. Nothing really to complain about here. If you're needing your OSDM fix, this'll do.
