God damn, Glorious Depravity came back hard on their Transcending Obscurity debut! These guys have created one helluva entertaining death metal album and shows a strong step forward from their already heavy debut back in 2020. I know there may be some resencey bias but this disc is going to end up in my top 10 for the year \m/\m/

Man, this disc came out of nowhere. CarlG dropped the intel on it yesterday, and I immediately went and looked for information about the release, and there wasn't much of anything. Now, today it has officially released. That was probably forced by the leak. Regardless, this is a top-notch follow-up to their 2022 debut. I really like it!

Here is another album thats had my attention for a minute now. Not every song on this album works for me, but enough of them really do that this is certainly a guilty pleasure of mine and another killer classic-sounding album in 2025.

It seems that this band has been active since 1998, or at least a few members have, but they've only released a couple of demos and a single up to now. This is their debut LP after 27 years, and just like I was saying on that Lethal Shöck post last week, there has been some killer classic-sounding thrashy speed metal this year. To me, and maybe it won't be liked by some, but this album has more of a rocking metal sound, not overly heavy, but highly appealing for my tastes.

This album showed up on my Bandcamp feed the other day, and I can't tell you how pleasantly surprised I was to see it. Their 2022 album is still a favorite of mine that I go back to from time to time (thanks to our Goa trance fiend Unbound for the heads up on that one). After one complete listen, I can confidently state that we have another quality offering from this South American band.

I have known about this band ever since the release of their 2013 album, Unearthly Monument, and I really liked their follow-up EP, but somehow missed this release back in the Year of COVID. I came across it a while back and was just listening to it the other day, and was inspired to promote their material. Unfortunately, it seems the band is on-hold, but hopefully they get back together and release somthing new.

This version of Desolator is not to be confused with the Swedish band; this group was from Poland, and all of the songs were written between 1989 - 1993, but the album wasn't recorded until 2011 - 2012. Everything on this release was performed and recorded by one man, as the rest of the members had already left by that time, but supposedly, this entity of Desolator is still active.

Damn, there has been quite a resurgence of old-school sounding thrash and speed metal this year. Much of it sounds really good, and I am digging it. Lethal Shöck from Chicago throws their hat into the ring with an authentic take on the retro style.

I remember when this album came out in July, CarlG was praising it heavily, and I listened to it right away and really liked it too. I had intended to post it at that time, but then it got away from me somehow, and I am just getting to it now. I like the solid mid-paced groove these guys get into on these tracks; it's vintage & heavy!

I have had this rip in my June 2015 folder, but have only listened to it a couple of times over the years. It is not that it is a bad album, it's not. There has just been too much other stuff to listen to in the last decade. Their new EP, which is their first real release since this caught my attention a little, so I wanted to promote this disc too.
