Jared Moran is a prolific death metal drummer and multi-instrumentalist based in Gulfport, Mississippi, and he also runs Speed Ritual Records. I had two of Jared's projects (Dwelling Below and Cave) on the list of my favorite 20 records last year.

These are two new ones from two more of his projects, both released this month, both amazing. If you know Jared's stuff, you know you're getting more of that. Not gonna say much more on these because I'll be reviewing one or both in more detail for an upcoming @swampgas zine.

Bonus #ThursDeath this week because the new STRANGULIATORIUS is fully up now to hear on Bandcamp. Stranguliatorius are from Vilnius, Lithuania. I'd heard some of their earlier stuff, which is okay, but their new LP here, 'Flies Don't Lie' is a MASTERPIECE of metal. There's barks and growls but also guttural vocals, dynamics, changes, really weird guitar - cool spots everywhere.
