11 track album

Stillbirth Records
@HailsandAles @wendigo @rtw it's like, super techy, Dying Fetus kinda vibes (the only really kind of tech I can do) but more extreme, and definitely slam/grind spots too. Very wild record
@jake4480 @HailsandAles @rtw I thought that might catch your eye... ;>)
@wendigo @HailsandAles @rtw even their NAME is extreme. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ
@jake4480 @HailsandAles @wendigo The cover for this is great too!
@rtw @HailsandAles @wendigo right?? Was really taken aback at how wild this one was today. Wow. Yet another amazing find thanks to Chris! ๐Ÿ˜‚

@HailsandAles I'll have to give the Malauriu another listen.

And the Vermithor EP is f/cking fire, just bought it before seeing the list ๐Ÿ˜† https://metalhead.club/@NMYCMBTNT/116341980802298523

Good Friday, you say? Time to buy some death metal - for Jesus! **Vermithor** out of Finland play old-school US style #DeathMetal with #NYHC influences, and that mix really kicks the dragon's balls! https://vermithor.bandcamp.com/album/bloodsport

@HailsandAles Woah, this debut album from Machine Cult Ritual is right up my alley! Makes me think of early Skinny Puppy but if they'd gone in a darker metal direction (not like the riff-heavy, Al Jourgenson-assissted "Rabies").
