Anything from Aversario will always be an insta-purchase by me because of how amazing Death Fortress (RIP) was, but Siege Column stands on its own merits as, aptly described, “evil metal.” This is death metal that flirts with the edge of feral without ever quite slipping into bestial senselessness, and more importantly, sounds like it was made over 30 years ago, in the best way possible. There is nothing else like this in 2025. Sulphur Omega came to kick ass and chew gum, and is all out of gum!
Favorite track: CHAINS OF SATAN.
