I am sure there are quite a few people who come here who will completely skip over this band because of the metalcore/groove tag, but I'm here to tell you that this disc is really a pretty good listen. There are some nice riffs and leads, and I like the dude's vocal delivery and cadence. Not bad at all.

Gomorrha is a band that CarlG has promoted pretty heavily around here over the past few years, and if you know his tastes, then you probably already know that this will be traditional, straight-up, no-frills death metal. There is nothing wrong with that when it is done well, and these guys do it well. Another very good album from 2025.

Damn, this is a sweet surprise! Back in 2024, these guys released a 2-track demo, and I really liked it. I mean, they weren't doing anything that Cannibal Corpse hadn't already done, but in my opinion, they sounded good as Hell doing it. When I saw this EP at STB earlier, I was super stoked, and then I realized that 2 of the tracks are from that promo back in '24, so my excitement was quelled a bit, but this is still a nice little release.

Witness: -[*]-
A few months back, I think it was El Faffo (correction: defleshed) who promoted this album in the chatbox, and at the time, I wasn't aware of this band. I decided to look them up and saw the melodic death metal tag, which gave me a certain impression about what to expect from their music. I am pleased to say, though, that my initial bias was unfounded, and yes, this is melodic, but it is also gritty and aggressive, and I am digging it.

 CarlG recently mentioned in the chat that Anasarca has a new album due out this year. Their first release since this album in 2017. I was very excited for this album and purchased a physical copy, and then my first impression was that it was different from what I anticipated. Still, after all of the years that had passed since Dying in 2004, it was/is still a very good offering. Thanks to the band for creating this twisted slab of death metal, and looking forward to the new material as well! This is my CD rip \m/\m/

To my ears, this Hungarian band seems to be worshipping at the Swedish altar of At The Gates for their inspiration on these tracks, and I, for one, am liking it.

This band was completely new to me just a week ago, as I hadn't heard any of their previous material. Then, I listened to this a few days ago while lounging on my vacation, and damn, I really like this disc! They are tagged as progressive death metal, and maybe their earlier stuff is, but I am not hearing any progressiveness here, just ass-kicking death metal.

Here is another quality album from last year. I am finally getting to the end of the year in my folders and fully realizing that 2025 was another good year in metal. In my opinion, Warkunt contributed to that fact quite effectively with this album.
