fyeahmetal It's just magnificent. Any of these tunes would be centerpiece highlights on other bands' albums, but here they're simply collected into a "didn't make the album" EP. Incredible. They're dark and epic, with songwriting and performances to die for. The closing re-orchestration - cover is far too puny a word - of the Mayhem song re-imagines it as an apocalyptic nightmare that would make Euronymous proud, I think. Favorite track: De Mysteriis Doom Sathanas.

BegravementEzra So lucky to get new Crypt Sermon TWO YEARS IN A ROW! One of the best current bands for sure Favorite track: Only Ash and Dust.

HaroldAllnut The piercing shrieks near the end of "De Mysteriis Doom Sathanas" show off Brooks Wilson at the height of his powers. Favorite track: De Mysteriis Doom Sathanas.

Inane Clown Person It's fucking Dropdead... Nuff said.

Vicky THIS SHIT MAKES YOU, MAKE MOVES MAN! HAHA FUCKIN KILLER!

Metallurgical Fire 200 Stab Wounds is probably the best classic brutal death band in the world right now, but maybe not quite as good as Suffocation in their prime. I neglected this band for no good reason. Don’t make my mistake.

Papa Jay (Radio Smorgasbord) Another killer release... Favorite track: Masters of Morbidity.

Aspen An amazing mix of technicality and brutal death metal

thekurtaction Compared to other OSDM, this is not that heavy but leans more into a punk aesthetic. Lots of subtle tempo variations give it a live feel. Favorite track: Release the Stench.
