This is probably their best release to date, but for me it kinda got overlooked during the shitty year of the global pandemic when we were all being coerced into submission. Anyway, I am giving it a spot here now. Better late than never.

I have been aware of this band for some time now, as I had their Open Wounds album in my July 2023 folder, but I don't think I had ever listened to it. That is a shame. After giving this album some attention and finally going back to their previous album, I can confidently say that I like their style.

Nykteria is a blackened death metal band from Finland, and this is their debut full-length. To me, this is somewhat similar to the recent Oracle Of Worms release in that it brings a strong dose of death metal with heavy riffs and aggressive drumwork. Overall, this is a very good listen in my opinion.

Someone, and I don't remember exactly who it was, praised this album in the chatbox several weeks ago, and I am just now getting around to listening to it. I must say that I agree with the earlier assessment; this is a very nice step in the band's progression. Genre tagged as Avant-garde death metal, it just sounds like high-quality death metal to me.

Back in the early 2000s, I was very much into Mors Principium Est, and would even hazard to say that their first 2 LPs should be considered minor classics for the time period. However, as time passed, I drifted away from their style and into heavier territory, but when I heard this new album a while back, it caught my attention, and maybe it will catch yours as well.

This is an interesting album to me. The band has been active since 2008 with 3 EPs and a demo to their credit, and this is their first LP. These Finns have skillz and talent to spare, and they are labeled as thrash metal, but it doesn't have the grittiness that I want to hear in thrash. To me, this is basically heavy metal with some velocity, and I like it, but I wish that it were heavier at times.

Cumbeast isn't a band that I have spent a lot of time listening to over the years, as I really didn't care much for them when I first heard their 2008 release, but then I did like their 2015 & 16 albums. They are certainly an interesting band with their sense of experimentation and groove. I finally got around to listening to this album a few weeks back, and it has some very good moments. Certainly a different sound than I am used to hearing from Finland.
