A few days ago, CarlG promoted this album in the chatbox, and when I saw the name, I could've sworn that I had some other material from them, but it seems I don't. Even though the moniker has been active since 1993, the band has only 1 other LP from 1996 and a recent EP, and the bass player is the only original member. It doesn't matter, though, because this album is actually quite entertaining.

These guys are still labeled as brutal death metal, but by comparison to other Indonesian BDM, this leans more towards traditional death metal and is very high quality in my opinion.

I came across this album a little over a month ago at STB, and finally got around to listening to it today. The first song starts out with violin, piano, and some weird (shitty) clean vocals like something out of a Broadway play, but then about 1'30" into it, everything changes, and the rest of the album is actually highly effective death metal. So much so that after about 5-6 songs, I was very excited about this release, and wanted to find out more about the band. Unfortunately, that is when it took a wrong turn: I discovered on the Bandcamp page that this is AI-generated death metal. Supposedly, there is human involvement in creative direction, editing, and conceptual development, but all of the music is literally just 1s and 0s. It's sad because I really want to like this album, but I also want to know that there are talented humans playing instruments to create the music. The other issue I have is that I feel like the AI is just going to keep getting better & better at creating the music I love until there is no point for humans to even be involved.

I have been a fan of this band ever since I first heard Torment of the Weak in 2013, and when I saw this album was due to be released this year, I pre-ordered a digital copy immediately. After only one complete listen, unfortunately, I must say I am a little let down, but I am not ready to pass final judgment just yet. I am going to give this more spins and time to soak in.

The first new material from Baltimore's Putrisect since their 2018 EP, and with this, they have released only 3 EPs and 2 splits over the span of 12 years. I like their sound and am hoping that they produce a full-length effort in the near future.

Back in the early 2000s, when metalcore was at its peak, this band released 2 EPs (posted below) that I thought were very good at the time, but as the scene became so highly oversaturated, my tastes changed. And, even though I have been aware of Sylosis and their many releases in the years that have passed since 2010 or so, I didn't pay much attention to them. Then, a couple of months ago, my old friend nuttinface urged me to give this album a chance, so I finally did, and I'll be damned, it is really very good. Thanks for pushing me, my brother!

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 seem to be ignorant of the music I love, because I hadn't heard this album until this year, and as it turns out, it was my favored style of early 90's Swedish death metal. Melodic and thrashy! I really like all of their material from back in the day; I wish I had been familiar with them then.

I came across this disc a few months back, and I remember when I first saw it, I was like, "God damn, that is the most Beavis and Butthead looking album art I have ever seen." I knew right then it was either going to be some shit death metal or really very good, and I am glad to say that it leans more towards the latter. After listening, I am digging it, but that makes sense considering that Marco Pitruzzella is manning the kit, and the guitarist definitely has his own set of skills.

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.
