Damn, I was totally caught off guard by this new Casket Grinder release as I am a big fan of these guys and really liked their 2020 album Fall Into Dementia, and the thing is that this new release is far superior to that one. If the year ended right now this would be #1 on my EOY list. Totally killer & highly recommended \m/\m/

CarlG mentioned the new disc from Battlesword a while back and commented on the fact that it doesn't sound that melodic to him and I haven't listened to it much but I think this debut album and especially their 2019 release are good examples of melodic death done right.

Witness: -[*]-
I was right in the transition from thrash, power, & groove to death metal and then I heard this disc and thought to myself, damn these power thrash guys still have more to say. I also like the reminiscent Jon Oliva feel to the vocals, at the time I appreciated it very much and the guitarists are killer too in my opinion. This is my own CD rip and I have their '96 Maleficium release on hard copy as well.

This was the only Lizzy Borden album I ever came across in my local record store back in the day and I bought it. I have to admit that this was always a bit of a guilty pleasure for me, I thought they were campy in their appearance but there are a few really good tracks on this album, the track Notorious in the YouTube link up there is a good example.

I am not really familiar with this band even though I have their 2017 release and I did purchase this album on Bandcamp mainly based on the fact that I really liked the video above. They are listed in the thrash metal/hardcore genre but I hear a lot more death metal on this disc. Overall, I think they are pretty cool!
