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.

This week's #ThursDeath is a huge new favorite. The fittingly titled 'IV', the new fourth album from Gulfport, Mississippi's CAVE, starts with an abrasive, rough roar and eventually forms into a pummeling and chugging inferno by the end of the first track and into the second. And then the rest! Cave's drummer is beyond talented, as are the rest of these folks. I dig the walls of guitars, the rawness, and everything about this brutal and original OSDM style LP.
