Now playing yet another older death metal banger again, Mortiferum's 2021 LP, 'Preserved in Torment'. Easily one of my favorite death metal (or any metal) records ever. I've listened to this one a LOT.

For #GrindayFriday this week, some old style dark grind - they call it 'nightmare grindcore for the class war' and truly it is:

This is Seattle's SMEARING and their fantastic, intense new EP 'Acts of Service'. Great lyrics, riffs, drumming, some great dynamics. Lots to love here.

#ThursDeath this week is this great new EP 'Into the Flame of Fear' by Bellingham, Washington's MALDISDEUN. These guys just started in 2019 and have only one other release before this (an LP from 2023), but they REALLY have the OSDM sound and everything else down. Two very interesting, diverse, dynamic tracks of death metal here -- a band to watch.

For this #GrindayFriday, something that came out just five years ago but should already be considered a classic. Seattle, Washington's CAUSTIC WOUND gave us this brutal, crushing riffy LP 'Death Posture' in 2020. They have a new one coming end of April-- they're a band to watch. Cropping the cover here, as it's a bit morbid, fair warning. Few songs are over or even reach two minutes long. I love albums that get to the point and don't give up til the end.
