I listened to it 3 times in a row and then went back and listened to this entire album as well. It looks like these guys have a new album coming soon.

I am not sure why, but I let first impressions have a strong influence on whether I listen to certain bands, and Contempt is one of those bands. I bought their first album a few years after its release, and it was my first time hearing the band. For some reason, and I am not saying the album is bad, but I wasn't taken with it. Because of that, I haven't really listened to them over the years, and when I heard this album, I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I am into it.

I've had this CD for at least 20 years now, but it was never one of my "go-to" favorites. However, I do like their newest release quite a lot. Interestingly, I see this received a 90% review score at Metal Archives, which kinda surprised me. To each his own I guess. This is my own CD rip.

I first heard this band back in the spring of 2018 with their, at the time, new release, Anguish. A damn good album in my opinion. So, I immediately went on Bandcamp and purchased this album and their 2001 release. This album here is very entertaining, and their '01 release has many good moments as well. Supposedly, these guys are active, so I wish they would put out something new.

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.

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.
