The Rhineland's Denomination is back with their follow-up to They Burn As One and the new album sees the band honing their brand of '90s Scandinavian death metal to a razor-sharp point. I have always loved this style of death metal so this album is highly appealing to me and even though it sounds very familiar it is also fresh enough to remain engaging from first to last.

For my tastes, Portugal has one of the better up-and-coming death metal scenes over the past few years with excellent releases from many different bands, and now Phenocryst is here to raise their banner as well. I went down a rabbit hole at Bandcamp a while back and came across this album and it has wormed its way into my brain with a display of substance and diversity. I hope these guys keep it together because they have a promising future.

I was never much of a Nifelheim fan but I do appreciate the history that Hellbutcher brings with him from that band and Terror on drums was also in many bands of influence such as Deathwitch, Sacramentum, Runemagick, and Swordmaster. With that said I see why I like this album.

I was not aware of this band from Cincinnati back in the day and they only existed for a couple of years but they had a lot of talented people involved in a band that would only release this and 2 demos. From looking at the song titles on all 3 it looks like they created only 8 or 9 songs total and this disc has 4 of them, well 3 proper songs and a short instrumental but they're all good.

I always liked this album and felt it was the best of their offerings but I haven't listened to their newer stuff much other than the Afterbirth EP. They definitely have a deathcore vibe which will turn many off but this album is really pretty good.

These guys put out one of my favorite albums in 2022 with Antichrist Reborn and here they are again in 2024 with another equally excellent release. They aren't doing anything particularly new or unique but they don't need to because they are crafting some seriously good death thrash.

I, unfortunately, have to admit that I have not paid much attention to this band in the past, I had listened to a few songs over the years but never took the time to listen to an entire album of theirs until now. Well. I'm glad that I did because I like this album. There may be nothing new going on here but they have a cool old-school hardcore vibe and the lead guitarist rips shit up so I am digging this one and want to explore their back catalog as time permits.
