110th part of the short reviews.
INTOLERANCE – Waking Nightmares of an Endless Void
Year: 2024
Label: Memento Mori
Rating: 7,9 / 10
A fantastic cover, don't you think? And the music is fine: traditional Death Metal between Floridian and Dutch, although made in Spain. It sounds great in fast fragments, but not so much in the slow ones. But all the same, the result is a killer album with cool riffs.
INVOCATION – The Archaic Sanctuary (Ritual Body Postures)
Year: 2024
Label: Iron Bonehead Productions
Rating: 8 / 10
The fetid black metal of death from deep Chilean crypts. Combines South American rabies with a demonic, sinister aura of ancient evil. Very impressive.
CONTAMINATED – Celebratory Beheading
Year: 2024
Label: Blood Harvest
Rating: 7,2 / 10
Morbid and vile Death Metal with the characteristic Australian heavyweight explosive sound. It's not ESKHATON yet, but it sounds powerful and tough, like a huge meat grinder. Keep in mind that the music is made according to the principles of modern brutal Death Metal, so there are no slayer beats here.
AIVVASS – Spiritual Archives
Year: 2024
Label: Darkness Shall Rise Productions
Rating: 7,7 / 10
The new signing of DSR is German thelemitic doom metal band AIVASS. The band combines mellow neofolk with gloomy doom riffs and mostly clean singing. The music is elegantly dark and unusual; give it a try.
STENCHED – Gorging on Mephitic Rot
Year: 2023
Label: Blood Harvest
Rating: 7 / 10
A purulent death grind from a young Mexican. A very authentic slippery sound and vocals that come from the very depths of his bowels. No fucking cybergrind electronics and long samples - just the stirring of a metal monster in a septic tank of rotten flesh.
