Centenary are from Motorcity, Michigan and they're a pretty new band but from their photo, these guys don't look too young. This EP has its moments with some cool guitar work but with more time together and a better production, I think these guys have the potential to make some killer death in the future.

It's too bad that I didn't take the time to listen to this disc more than once or twice back in November because the more I listen to it now the more I dig this shit.

Two-man madness from Buenos Aires, down in the southern hemisphere. I have to say that this is an album I honestly regret leaving off of my list for 2017. Traditional BDM for everyone who's ever loved it, and if you haven't heard this yet, then do it now!

Witness: -[*]-
This came out a year ago and it got swallowed in a void, or at least it seems, because this is some high quality death metal and it didn't get much attention at all from what I have seen. HellCraft has a very good earlier release and I now realize this is a very good disc as well. I'm also gonna tell you that this is a higher quality rip than I had had previously, so there is that.

South American death thrash from Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil. I like this disc and am a bit surprised that it didn't create more chatter last year or end up as an honorable mention on any of the BOTY lists. The production could use a little more punch but thrash riff-wise this is a pretty killer effort.

Damn, 2017 saw a bit of an Italian Renesaince in death metal, didn't it? The land of the Boot was stepping on the throat with some brutality again last year and this release is representing well \m/\m/
