Here is a band that I was unfamiliar with until this release, and from limited listens, I can tell that I like some of their ideas quite a lot, and then other moments, maybe not as much, but it makes me want to listen more.

Witness: -[*]-
Mutilation Barbeque is back with a new EP and has now released 2 EPs, a full-length, and a single in 6 years of existence. It seems they also have a new vocalist on this release, which I am a bit undecided on because I liked their original singer's voice, but change happens, so we might as well embrace it. The music still has their signature stomp and groove, so I am down with it!

11. Killin' Time (Until It's Time to Kill)

Witness: -[*]-
Frozen Soul is a band that, based on the disparity in scoring of their Metal-Archive reviews, people either love or hate. I, for one, like them and their take on old-school death metal, but their albums haven't held a very high repeat listen value for me. Don't get me wrong, all 3 of their LPs have been solid with their first being the best for my tastes but maybe only because I haven't listened to the others enough.

The new release from In Malice's Wake is yet another solid release in a catalog that spans over 2 decades. There are still 2 original members in the band, being the drummer & vocalist/guitarist, and the other 2 members have been involved since 2014. These guys have always had a dark and aggressive tone to their thrash, and this album carries on the tradition well.

Witness: -[*]-
This band has been cranking out killer thrash metal since 2003, and I discovered them a bit late, in like 2010 with their first LP, Eternal Nightfall, and I have liked them ever since. I will say, though, that I think this album is their pinnacle, at least so far. To me, this material is superior to the new album, and that is not a criticism of the new stuff, but this is just better.

This new album by Eternal Evil doesn't carry the same blackend tone as their previous material. This is more in the vein of straight-up thrash with a melodic slant.

A few days ago, CarlG promoted this album in the chatbox, and when I saw the name, I could've sworn that I had some other material from them, but it seems I don't. Even though the moniker has been active since 1993, the band has only 1 other LP from 1996 and a recent EP, and the bass player is the only original member. It doesn't matter, though, because this album is actually quite entertaining.

These guys are still labeled as brutal death metal, but by comparison to other Indonesian BDM, this leans more towards traditional death metal and is very high quality in my opinion.

Witness: -[*]-
I came across this album a little over a month ago at STB, and finally got around to listening to it today. The first song starts out with violin, piano, and some weird (shitty) clean vocals like something out of a Broadway play, but then about 1'30" into it, everything changes, and the rest of the album is actually highly effective death metal. So much so that after about 5-6 songs, I was very excited about this release, and wanted to find out more about the band. Unfortunately, that is when it took a wrong turn: I discovered on the Bandcamp page that this is AI-generated death metal. Supposedly, there is human involvement in creative direction, editing, and conceptual development, but all of the music is literally just 1s and 0s. It's sad because I really want to like this album, but I also want to know that there are talented humans playing instruments to create the music. The other issue I have is that I feel like the AI is just going to keep getting better & better at creating the music I love until there is no point for humans to even be involved.

I have been a fan of this band ever since I first heard Torment of the Weak in 2013, and when I saw this album was due to be released this year, I pre-ordered a digital copy immediately. After only one complete listen, unfortunately, I must say I am a little let down, but I am not ready to pass final judgment just yet. I am going to give this more spins and time to soak in.
