Bleedin' Guts Mikey Dogshit DR5 remaster. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

necromanticdinner a late 90s brutal death metal classic given new life with a beefy, great sounding remaster and some sick new artwork. this reissue is the perfect reason to check this album out, whether its for the first time or a much-deserved revisit. Favorite track: Vae Victus (Prayer for the Vanquished).

Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass) A great discovery this year, one worth checking out. Favorite track: Worshipping Falsehood.

bmurator Doom / Death Metal from Spain. Great music & vocals! The production could be a little clearer but... :) Recommended!

baudelagon Certains morceaux me semblent plus puissants que d'autres. Mais c'est un album tout à fait honorable.

X Wild Alaskan Salmonella X Generally not a fan of tech death and further disillusioned by recent releases, Xenosis brings the goods in a weighty and earwormy way. Favorite track: Spore Whore.

Caizoe Excellent groove and outstanding production, enriched by an extra layer of complexity that makes the music both visceral and cerebral. Favorite track: Rapid Metamorphosis.

Urso X Brain-melting, but not stoopid. So many groovy breakdowns, mind-altering time signatures & various dissonant space/time anomalies, you just gotta love it.

PS — The vocalist 🔥🔥🔥 Favorite track: Spore Whore.

saori_ne Their sound thrives on the collision of freezing black metal and crushing death metal, moving seamlessly from lightning blast beats to lyrical slow tempos. Reflecting their Turkish soil, they weave subtle oriental inflections into sharp, technical arrangements. Clocking in at 31 minutes, they do not merely unleash raw destruction, but govern it with high intelligence. For fans of Dead Congregation or Emperor, bu albüm, 2025'in en dikkat çekici metal eserlerinden biridir.

Urso X Not sure why I stupidly passed this up when it came out, as I’m a huge fan of hefty Turkish black/death acts like Diabolizer and Serpent of Old, and this fits nicely under that general umbrella. Love the husky, indefatigable vocals, the absolutely seamless shifts between various black/death elements, and also the subtle Middle Eastern(ish) melodic flourishes that occasionally pop up (see the opener for a great example of this). All in all, a really satisfying and enjoyable listen! Favorite track: Pillars Of Ice.

positronicping Shrine of Denial tread an intoxicating line between melodic and dissonant with this magnificent dose of blackened death metal. Nabi's vocals sound like a pack of rabid hounds. I'm with @acaDamien, the drums and guitars absolutely rip. Favorite track: A Sanctuary In The Depths Of The Realms.

BirdOfHermes83 Thanks for this one! Hell of a record. Favorite track: He Who Dwells In Grime.

doive First of all, I don't think this relates to the eponym Alien movie much, at least not directly. Secondly Xenobiotic altogether hammers and slays sound wise! The production is almost too clean for this type of deathcorish music but the writing is top notch and it has so much power .. it's just brilliantly executed and shall remind listeners about DISENTOMB, yet the atmospheric tones here and there make the whole album sound more varied and diversified somehow. It's definitely worth it! Favorite track: Prometheus II: Genesis.

Kylmmys Pure anger,aggression and gore. You can feel the songs crawling into you. Love it!
Favorite track: He Who Dwells In Grime.

Xulvar One of them top-tier Aussie deathcore! Favorite track: Alone.
