  • Also, not tech, but OGs Immolation have a new one out today too! Huzzah!

  • Ah playing it again, I remember why it didn’t make my roundup lol. No idea what to call this: it slaps for sure, but you’re right: tech death it ain’t

  • Oh shit, I gotta add that!

  • Eyyyy excellent celebration

  • Certified brain melter, thanks for posting! This is old enough that I might not have bumped into it, glad for the exposure

  • Oh interesting! I hadn’t followed closely enough to catch the single, I’ll have to revisit. I agree though: Eschaton was my favorite album of the week

    Edit: opps forgot RoN was in the same week. That takes it, although it’s not as pure tech as Eschaton

  • It’s growing on me too!

  • Enjoy! That was my favorite this week

  • tbh I almost slept on it because I haven't listened to them since I was first exploring the world of death metal (including black metal, grindcore, etc.), and stumbled into Demigod, but ffs the title track slapppps, very catchy

  • Totally. To be honest, I keep coming back to about half of these, especially Parthian

  • I always like Angry Metal Guy’s reviews (not sure how independent this is, if the label sends a free copy and that incurs bias or whatever, you can check and decide). I also see 2 reviews from regular folks on Encyclopaedia Metallum. I don’t typically get too into reviews, so I don’t have much more to share, but I do also see No Clean Singing has a review up.

  • Ooh sweet, I didn’t know about the making-ofs, I’ll have to check them out. Gammageddon and Nuklearth are definitely in regular rotation on my stereo, I just need a little more time with this one to get to know it

  • Neither had I! Exposure has been the best part of doing this pretty thorough review every week (at least whatever I can find on Encyclopaedia Metallum). Afflicta in particular is tremendous.

  • TIL! Thanks for the factoid: my dogs have definitely gotten covered in burdock plenty of times too, maybe I should invent something about it

  • Agreed. If it were some mid-tier band, meh these things happen. But Obscura are kinda titans. So I’m revisiting the other band members’ side projects: Obsidious, Alkaloid, looking forward to Retromorphosis, etc.

  • Steffen Kummerer (vocals, guitar) did a plagiarism. Christian Münzner (guitar) and Alex Weber (bass) quit in late 2024, citing "creative differences". Then on the album, Steffen included music his departed bandmates had written, after agreeing not to.

  • Mm Carnosus day arrived at last, excellent stuff. Also, new Infant Annihilator was fun, but for me really just a teaser for the upcoming album.

  • Hell yeah. And I usually struggle with instrumental metal, but these guys are a reliable exception
