I was fortunate enough to get to go to Singapore and spend a weekend on my employer's dime back in 2014, and it was fun! It was very early on in The Death Chamber's existence, and I went to a club and checked out some bands, and I talked to some people about my blog and the bands from Singapore that I was familiar with, like Absence Of The Sacred, Psycho, and Nafrat, to name the main ones from the time, and I had a great experience that weekend. This young band brings a little bit of that feeling back.

I've overlooked this disc for the past few months, even though I have long been a fan of their work, and was excited when I found this back in March. I just decided to give it a listen here recently, and as with their previous material, this is top-notch. Maybe a bit more blackened tendencies this time around, but they aren't predominant, and don't detract from the thrashing death metal. The quality of their craft has been quite consistent over the years.

Here is a band from Nuremberg, who are labeled as death metal, but I hear a pretty strong core influence in their sound. That's okay, though, because I like it.

I have had this one uploaded for several months now, and just kept putting it off as far as posting it goes, because this style isn't always my thing. However, on the day that I decided to create the link, I was liking it, and listening to it again today, it has some good moments.

This is different from what you typically get from Indonesia, and while I have long been a fan of Indo-death metal, I'm liking the change-up sound that these guys captured on this disc.

Wow, this album is so good! I know the death metal only crowd won't like it, or will ask where it was at 40 years ago, but the people who have more diverse tastes similar to mine will certainly be totally into this band. I want to thank our resident Goa Trance officinato Unbound for the heads up on these guys. Just looking at the album art, I expected something much less intriguing and would have probably never given this album a chance if he hadn't promoted it so strongly. Awesome \m/\m/

Psilocybin obsessed brutality from Wallingford, Connecticut. I don't think these guys are microdosing; I think they are eating full-on grams. They say you don't trip unless you throw up. Well, I never threw up, but I sure as hell went on some trips back in the day.

Witness: -[*]-
I was completely unaware of this band until I came across this EP a couple of weeks back, and upon listening, I was immediately hooked by their brand of aggressive thrash metal. The vocals may be a bit of an acquired taste, but they suit the music, and the guitars are spot on. This disc got me to go search out their earlier releases, of which they have 5 full-length albums and 2 EPs over a 16-year span.

8. Sentient Inorganic Mess

Witness: -[*]-
I like this disc for a few reasons. First off, the band creates a grisly old-school chug that I really enjoy, and then the drummer is bringing cymbals back to death metal. I am not sure if it is his technique or the way he has them mic'ed, but they really stand out in the mix. The only thing missing is the Deivos cowbell. The other interesting thing is that this band has the exact same lineup as Oath Div. 666, which also plays old-school sounding death metal with a more Satanic slant.

Here is a disc that I have had on my phone for a while now, but I only just recently got around to listening to it. Immediately, the old-school riffs and heavy bottom end caught my attention, so I did some research and discovered that one of the guitarists is the same dude from Glutted Swarm who created one of my favorite albums from 2024. I am not saying this is a great album, but I like it, and wanted to share it for those who may have missed it.

I really liked the band's previous album, but it took me a bit to warm up to this one; now that I have, I am liking it as well. They are building on their songwriting chops and created a more mature-sounding album, and I think they got a better production as well.
