EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Hekseblad – The Taste of Ash
Do not sleep on this one. I’m confident I’ll be talking about it again at the end of the year.
Decibel Magazine Tour Coverage – March 14, 2024
My views on this year’s edition of the Decibel Tour, as experienced in Detroit at the Magic Stick.
EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE: Mind Prisoner – 3:33
Bleak. Dark. Hopeless. That is the “3:33 EP.”
EXCLUSIVE ALBUM PREMIERE: Wounds – Ruin
The key point here is that the album is excellent, a brutal example of tech death as it should be, chock full of malevolent soul and spiteful menace.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK PREMIERE: Nuclear Tomb – Fatal Visions
Prominent bass, nasty riffs, and an overall belligerence do make Fatal Visions a memorable track.
EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE: Wounds – The Archfiend’s Apothecary
It is clear that the band has a clear and brutal vision, that they are gifted composers, and that they are talented musicians.
CLASSIC ALBUM REVIEW: Weakling – Dead As Dreams
Truly a masterpiece.
EXCLUSIVE FULL ALBUM STREAM: Engulf – The Dying Planet Weeps
My one complaint is that I wish it were about five minutes longer, but there is something to be said for an album leaving the listener wanting more.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Bull of Apis Bull of Bronze – Annihilation
Allow the annihilation.
Paint It Black – Famine
I’m embarrassed to say that Famine is serving as my introduction to the band, but these eight tracks across less than twenty minutes have placed them firmly on my radar.
