There have been a lot of changes for this band over the years; I mean, they started out as a 3-piece band from France, and have added and changed members and even homelands over the years, but the one thing that has remained constant is vocalist George "Misanthrope" Wilfinger. I have been a big fan of their past output, but this new album seems even more accessible to me and may turn out to be my favorite effort from them.

I listened to this almost as soon as it dropped based on CarlG's recommendation, and he was correct, this is some killer straight-up, no-frills death metal. I have listened to their 2022 album, but it didn't grab me, and I understand they changed from a doomier sound in their early years. This album is just death in my opinion, and it may get a little long in the end, but through 7 or so tracks, it's very entertaining.

I was not familiar with this band or this album until just a couple of years ago when I came across their Messiah EP and this LP at the same time. Even though I wasn't aware of it I can assure you this was some killer death metal for that time period because it's still sounds good now.

Here is the new album from Fallen Utopia and it is a pretty good offering. I have to thank CarlG for the heads up on this release as I had kind of forgotten about these guys since their 2018 album Disequilibrium. They certainly have some melodic tendencies but create solid death metal overall.

Athiria is finally back after an 8-year absence and with a new vocalist, a female this time. I guess you could say they aren't breaking any new ground with the material on this album but I like it and think it is a good listen all the way to the end.

Witness: -[*]-
I know that a lot of the death metal purists are vehemently opposed to anything with "core" in it but some of the technical deathcore bands make some highly entertaining music in my opinion and this band from Vienna happens to be in that category. Formerly known as Dayum, they changed their moniker in 2020 and I think it suits their style quite well.

Three of the 4 members of Dayum went on to form or basically change their name to Spire Of Lazarus within months of releasing this album. This is a good one for the open minded listener.

This is one of my new favorite releases at the moment and I could have sworn that I had posted their 2020 Ep here but I guess that I didn't. I know already that this disc will grow better as I have a chance to absorb it more. Listen to this and support them for yourself.
