EXCLUSIVE FULL ALBUM STREAM: Sepulchral Curse – Abhorrent Dimensions
The next time someone asks you to explain what death metal sounds like, just play them this album. They will likely be hooked. I know I am.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Dyssebeia – Black Swarm
The album is elegant, flowing seamlessly from traditional heavy metal riffs to djent worthy chugs to tremolo riffing to soaring melodies to…well, you get the idea.
EXCLUSIVE FULL ALBUM STREAM: Seraphic Entombment – Sickness Particles Gleam
It lives within the boundaries of the style (with some blackening, but that’s not so abnormal), but does so with a unique putrefaction that makes it stand out above the rest.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK PREMIERE: Yatsu – Appomattox
It’s a scathing powerviolence attack with elements of grind, death metal, groove, and noise filtered through a lens of pure, unadulterated rage.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Wyrgher – Destroyer of the Promethean Path
This may be the darkest entry I’ve heard in the cosmic black metal subcategory. It is also one of the best.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK PREMIERE: Terra Builder – Dead Celestial
Solar Temple is an absolute monster, a fantastic start for this new band, and another dark gem in the Transcending Obscurity list of releases.
EXCLUSIVE DUAL TRACK PREMIERE: Organ Dealer – Truth Blinders/Endless Despondence
The attack on The Weight of Being is poignant and powerful, both lyrically and sonically.
