2-man brutality from Thessaloniki, I had kind of overlooked this band until I heard their latest EP last year. I am glad that I am on to them now because this is a good album and they have a 2021 release that I need to listen to as well.

CarlG mentioned here a few weeks ago that Deviation had released a new album and I was super stoked to hear it because I really liked and promoted their 2015 album New Generation of Torture. After almost 9 years of waiting, I am a little disappointed by these tracks, I am not saying this is a bad album but it didn't grab me the way the first disc did.

I used to listen to this album a lot like 15 years ago and then today I listened to it again for the first time in a long time while working in the yard and thought to myself I got to bring this one back to the front to remind others of it as well. Metal Archives says these guys are still active and they have a 2016 disc that I haven't heard yet and what's amazing to me is that the band still has 2 original members from 1998 and all members have been in the band for at least 20 years.

Damn, I had forgotten all about these guys over the past 10 years and then out of nowhere, they drop this beast on us. This is a damn fine album for my tastes but not sure how new all of the material is since the title track was released as a single 4 years ago but I hadn't heard it until today. It's too bad the production isn't a little bit clearer and punchier but I'll quit bitching because I like this album a lot!

Here is the new release from Wounds and I must say this is my new favorite album for 2024. These 4 guys from Chicago have created a very entertaining death metal album for my tastes. This is technical without being wanky and brutal without being over the top. I love the way they crafted the riffs in these tracks. Their 2019 EP Light Eater is very good as well but this is on the next level.

Witness: -[*]-
The newest release from Iowa's own Mutilated By Zombies is a killer slab of Midwest death metal and the only fault I can find with it is that it's too damn short, I want more.

When I first saw this album back in September I thought these guys were from South America but it turns out they're from Osaka, Japan, and after releasing several demos, singles, and even a live album since 2018 this is their 1st LP and I like it.

Witness: -[*]-
I really like this album, it is easy to hear that these guys are having fun creating their brand of old-school styled thrash and they've been at it for a long time with several releases but this is my first exposure to Gamma Bomb. At times the Bobby "Blitz" influence is strong in this vocalist and that definitely adds to the appeal of the album for me.

I had posted Absolutisim's previous EP Blasting Trilok I but for some ignorant reason had the band labeled as being from Indonesia and then when this disc came out last year I thought this was a different band. I finally figured out my error and corrected it and I wanted to say that this is a very good offering of Spanish technical death metal and an excellent follow-up to their previous effort.
