The country of Finland has a long history of quality death metal and for me the newer bands like Cryptic Hatred who are quickly becoming 1 of my favorite bands and the more obscure bands like Exigenced, Fearmonger, and Nocturnal Mortuary are at the top of my current list. As for Living Inferno they have been around for about 4 years and this is their 1st LP and I like what I am hearing here for sure.

We have recently been talking about Chilean death metal releases in 2024 and here is one that you shouldn't sleep on. These guys are from Santiago and it seems they have been around for about 8 years now and all but 1 original member remains from the inception. I can tell that time together has served them well on their 1st full-length album.

I really liked this album when it came out back in 2012. I thought this disc sounded more substantial than many of the other tech death releases from that moment in time and I assumed that we would be hearing a lot more from this band over the years but that hasn't been the case. This is my CD rip and I feel this is recommended listening \m/\m/

Sepulchral Whore have been at it for almost 10 years now and this is their 1st full-length album but I personally think it was worth the wait as this is some well-constructed South American death metal. Brazil strikes again!

Necrot is a band that had crafted high-quality death metal with their 1st 2 full-length albums and their early demos and while this album sounds a little different, maybe more technical, than their previous work it is yet another solid offering from this Bay Area trio.

This band has been around for several years but they are new to me and I like what they have created here. With these songs, you get fairly straightforward mid-paced death metal that leans heavily to the melodic side and I think they do it quite well. If that sounds interesting to you then give them a try.

I am not sure why I ignored this album last year because I have long been a fan of their former selves Paroxysmal Butchering but I left this one on the shelf until a couple of months ago. Another good album that I missed out on in '23 simply because there is too much good stuff to listen to.

I have overlooked this band in the past and that is strange because I have long known that death metal from Portland and the Northwest is very good, so I am trying to make up for lost time now by listening to all of their stuff. This band is consistent in their sound, and another solid release from 20 Buck Spin.

I have to admit that I have not listened to this disc too much but I really like their newest release Funeral Sanctum and that got me to go back and listen to this disc too. I've been missing out because this is pretty damn good as well.

I have liked this band for a long time, ever since their Torturetorium album in 2010 and their 2020 album was good too, so I was eager to listen to this release as soon as it dropped. I like this, it might not be at the top of the BOTY lists but it's good and I like it.

I have meant to post this disc for a long time and kept overlooking it in my files. This came out in December and I heard it in January and I immediately liked the melodic trashiness of the tracks and gave it frequent spins when commuting back & forth to work in the 1st couple weeks of the year but then so much more new stuff flooded in that I lost track of it.

I only know a little about this band, just that they have 3 albums and a female singer but this is my first exposure to them and something grabbed my attention in the songs I listened to here, so I will put this up for the Melodeath fans.
