This young band from Fort Worth has created a tight slab of semi-technical death metal. They aren't doing anything particularly new or unique; actually, there are very few bands who can these days, but this is a good listen nonetheless.

CarlG dropped this EP in here several months back, and I downloaded it on my phone and have been listening to it in the car, but kept forgetting to upload and post it. I am correcting that mistake now. I have been following these guys for a while and keep waiting for them to release an LP, but they haven't yet. The 4 new tracks on this EP are really good and worthy of your attention.

I could have sworn that I had this album posted here several years ago, but I don't see it in the archive. I probably do have it posted, but didn't tag it correctly.

Here is the newest release from Dawn Of Creation, a band I have been aware of for several years, but I guess I haven't followed them too closely. I first heard their Masquerade Poetry EP in 2014, but they fell silent until 2022, and I never paid much attention to that comeback album. I listened to this release a few days ago in the car, and I like what they have created, even though it isn't anything I haven't heard before. It is definitely worthy of a few listens.

Someone, and I don't remember exactly who it was, praised this album in the chatbox several weeks ago, and I am just now getting around to listening to it. I must say that I agree with the earlier assessment; this is a very nice step in the band's progression. Genre tagged as Avant-garde death metal, it just sounds like high-quality death metal to me.
