Even though they came into the scene towards the end of the heyday, I always felt that Night In Gales had a very entertaining twist on the Gothenburg sound. This album was easily my favorite of their early releases.

We hadn't heard anything from these guys in a long time and I will be damned if they didn't come back stronger than hell! I mean, you gotta love a death metal song titled When the Stukas Shriek. This is a killer album and their past work is very good as well.

I hadn't listened to this band in a long time, probably since their first album, which I don't remember caring for very much. I've had their 2nd album in my September 2013 folder but don't think I ever listened to it until recently and the only reason I did now is because of this disc. I mean check the video above, the song is killer. It surprises me how much I like this album, these guys appear to be off the rails and so is their music, and it fukking jams! They definitely have improved for my tastes over the years.

Here is another band new to me with an album that showed up toward the end of last year and I'm liking it. These guys have short energetic songs chocked full of death metal goodness. Spain has been killing it in recent years \m/\m/

Drift Of Genes has been at it for a while now and I have their 2014 album posted here but haven't listened in a long time. I like this new disc; the songs have a heavy groove that appeals to me. Their lineup shows 2 original members remaining, the guitarist and drummer, both guys, but the only recent band photo I found shows only the guitarist and bass player, both not guys.

Witness: -[*]-
Here is an album that seemed to slip past some of us around here, originally released in 2017, but I hadn't seen it until April 2023, at least that's the folder it resides in. Interestingly, CarlG brought them up last weekend and I had just been listening to this for the first time too and wanted to promote them as well. Metal minds think alike I guess. This is a decent offering of straight-up, no-rills death metal and not bad at all.

10. Death Assembly

Witness: -[*]-
There was so much good music released in November of '24 and this new album by StabWounD is a perfect example of that fact. I was really into this band 10 years ago, but had mainly forgotten about them since they hadn't released anything other than a single in more than a decade. When CarlG mentioned them at the time this dropped I didn't listen to it right away, but I am thoroughly enjoying it now. Recommended!

I like this EP more than I thought I would. The band name gave me a core vibe, and there is some Boston hardcore mixed in, but there is also death metal and some nice riffs. Hell, even the cover of Live Wire is pretty cool.

Witness: -[*]-
Accu§er has been active in the German thrash scene since 1986 but has always toiled in relative obscurity compared to some of their countrymates like Destruction, Tankard, & Kreator just to name a few. I have a couple of their older albums in my files but they have never really grabbed me but I do like some of the tracks on this newest release.

3. Spawn of an Abhorrent Entity

4. Invoke Them

5. The Grace of Immolation

6. Demonolatry

Witness: -[*]-
Damn, so Abhorration is a relatively new band whose members all have a lot of experience with other bands. Based on this album, which is very new to me even though it is in my November '24 folder, these guys have created a true to form, grimy, old-school death metal aesthetic all the way from the album art and the logo to the look of the band and especially their sound. I immediately keyed in on the speed metal vibe to the lead guitarwork and the raw thrashy-ness of the music overall and then I realized that 2 members including the lead guitarist are from Black Viper and then I liked it even more. This is another quality album from 2024 that I am only now becoming aware of. Better late than never, right?

9. The Writhing Maw  

10. Flayed in Fury  

11. The Void Unquestioned

Witness: -[*]-
Back in 2020, this band caught me off guard with their debut Stuffing Puke into the Sockets, based on the album art and the title I was expecting something different but I was pleasantly surprised with the style of the album. When this new release appeared back in November I was like "hell yeah" but then I didn't listen to it until now and that was a huge mistake because this probably should've been in the top 20 for the year. These guys deliver a beatdown that is worth the bruises and broken bones.

These guys are long overdue for another album as they have only released a few singles since this disc came out back in December 2018. In my opinion they were at the top of their game on this release, so hopefully, we will hear from them again soon.
