Yet another 1-man project band that is managing to create some pretty killer death metal. As I have stated many times now, I prefer the idea of a traditional band but there are a helluva lot of talented individuals out there who can do it all.

This is the better of their 2 albums for my tastes and it figures that this is a Transcending Obscurity  release as Kunal always seems to score the gems.

The new album from Hot Graves is excellent in my opinion. If you are unfamiliar with them they have been around since 2008 and released a bunch of demos, EPs, and compilations, as well as 3 LPs, and this release sees them at their blackened thrashy best!

I really hadn't paid much attention to HellWitch over the years. I've had their 2009 release since it first came out but hadn't listened to it much and this is basically their first release of new material since then, but I want to say that this disc is a ripper and I really like it. So, now I will have to go back and check into the releases I have missed.

Deaf Aid is another band I was unfamiliar with and apparently, at least one of the guys in this band (drummer) has been at it since 1989. I don't know what their older material sounds like but if it is anything like this, then I want to hear it now.

7. Cognitive Warfare

Witness: -[*]- 
Infiltration is quickly following up on their 2022 release Extinct with a new album already this year. This is another quality offering from the band but at only 20 minutes in length, it is hard to consider this an LP but a worthy listen nonetheless.

Witness: -[*]-
Skulldozer is from Long Beach, Mississippi, and they released this full-length onslaught in January but I overlooked it because I had an EP from them with the same name that I had just picked up last year. I guess I thought this was the same release so I ignored it and 6 of the 10 songs are the same but the 4 new ones make it worthwhile in my opinion.

I wasn't familiar with this band untill CarlG began promoting this disc a few weeks back and then I finally got around to listening to it and I'm hooked. This is really cool, so now I will have to explore their back catalog as well.

These guys came up with a strange band name and I'm not sure why the dude in the photo is holding a propane tank unless they are planning on grillin' up some fish lizards but they have created about 18 minutes of killer death thrash on this EP and I looking forward to hearing more from these Aussies in the future.

Here is another band with a familiar old-school thrash sound that is highly appealing to me but I had never heard of them until recently and they have a 2017 album that sounds quite good to me as well.
