sashavonkarl74 Alabama-based ECTOVOID has been called shameless Incantation worship (for their debut album... maybe) but they clearly sharpened their blades and forged their own sound here. This is their 3rd album, as people say it is often the breaking point, I'd say they prove that they are here to stay, and their statement is as firm as an earthquake shattering everything and everyone standing in their way :)) Favorite track: Collapsing Spiritual Nebula.

heavy.metal.parking.chair Some of the best death metal songwriting in recent memory. Don’t sleep on this one. Favorite track: In Unreality's Coffin.

Jake W. Death metal with riffs that aren't afraid to dance and be silly. If you like chunky grooves and having your face contorted with riff stank, then buy this and play it loud. Favorite track: Collapsing Spiritual Nebula.

Tee^▿^ It doesn't get much more atmospheric than this 🤍 7/10 Favorite track: Forever With You.

Urso X Much-anticipated sequel to 2022’s grief-stricken Reborn, Sacrifice is ethereal, mostly long-form atmo bm/blackgaze with a challenging but ultimately hopeful message. Favorite track: Eternal Fire.

Aqueous Incredible album. Each track flows seamlessly into the next to create a beautiful yet melancholic atmosphere that clings to you like gnarled bramble; beckoning you to discover its secrets. A journey through and through. Favorite track: Forever With You.

scotty2hotty The best melodic death I have heard in years. Reminds me of the passion in something like At The Gates' Terminal Spirit Disease, or maybe some very early 2000s metalcore. I'm always searching for that elusive melodic metal with heavy feels and every track here hits the mark.

Papa Jay (Radio Smorgasbord) This one was missing in my collection for quite some time. Killer compilation. Hope to catch the guys live someday. Favorite track: Suffer No Fool.

Olio Flux Any band doing a Prong cover is decent in my book! Good thrash, so-so on the reverby-mix though.

olioflux.bandcamp.com Favorite track: Brainwave.
