BAND Pathogenic Virulence
ALBUM
RECORD LABEL Brutal Mind

On the last day of the year, during the last afternoon of December 2024 I am listening to the latest offering by UK based Brutal Slam savages PATHOGENIC VIRULENCE entitled 'Scourged'.

On this, their follow up to 'Submerged Into Non-Existence' they have sharpened their patented onslaught with a sense of precision musicianship that informs the focused and ferocious tech infused Brutal Death Metal on offer.

Throughout this album one is treated to a far darker, more brutal and technically crafted collection of songs compared to that which constructed 'Submerged Into Non-Existence'.

'Scourged' is relentless; a veritable freight train of skull crushing riffs, rhythms and blistering drumming that asserts a stranglehold over ones being with oppressive intent.

I find that the Slam elements have, to an extent been sacrificed for a thick froth of Brutal Death Metal. Slam tropes still do abound during 'Scourge'. Pathogenic Virulence are essentially a Brutal Slam band yet 'Scourged' must be applauded and praised for its far more punishing and technical direction.

From pummeling opening track 'The Pit Of Primordial Ooze' to the cranium crunching 'Cephalic Insemination', the grisly 'Ruptured Orifices' and propulsive closing track 'Guttural Suppuration', including the remaining five pieces of scorching savagery that makes up 'Scourged', every song on here is a high caliber display of Technical Slamming Brutal Death Metal.

In its entirety 'Scourged' cannot be faulted. The heightened focus on technical acumen borne manifest as monstrous Brutal Death Metal is a sonic manoevre that I applaud of wholeheartedly. Pathogenic Virulence are Brutal Slam entity and excel at what they do, their latest album is emblematic of this as is the fact that stagancy does not inform theit craft. Great face-smashing fun!

BAND: Iniquitous Savagery ALBUM TITLE:
RECORD LABEL: Willowtip Records

Scottish based Brutal Death Metal berserkers Iniquitous Savagery specialise in Brutal Death Metal that is devoid of frills and drenched in gore.

Without any window dressing to detract from their abominable downpour of elephantine Brutal Death Metal or to hide behind, the noxious avalanche of hulking riffs, hammering double kick battery and gravelly vocals that Iniquitous Savagey spew forth is unhindered by pretence.

On their debut album for Willowtip Records 'Edifice Of Vicissitudes', Iniquitous Savagery serve forth a platter of splatter that mercilessly ravages everything in its radius with bodily fluids, severed limbs and human viscera.

Featuring Liam McCall, Joe Fleetwood, Euan Harrison and Chris Ryan, this ferocious foursome have been going since 2012 and the tight interplay and instrumentation that are displayed throughout 'EDIFICE OF VICISSITUDES' is emblematic of the years that Iniquitous Savagery have spent refining their craft. At this point they are nearing a decade and three years together.

Featuring eight humungous slices of blood encrusted Brutal Death Metal, 'EDIFICE OF VICISSITUDES' brings to mind the murderous, blast beat driven malevolence of Mortal Decay, Flesh Consumed, Disgorge and Dehumanized blended with the groove oriented gusto of Dying Fetus, Devourment and Vomit Remnants.

Released during November, this whopping work of high caliber BDM is relentless. Each track that makes up this odorous sonic canvas is crushing yet my personal favorites include 'Omnipotence negates self-affliction', opening track 'Casualty Of Diabolical Trial', 'Drenched In Righteous Offal' and 'Narcotic Exsanguination'.

If you are fiending for your next fix of scrumptiously vile Brutal Death Metal then check out 'EDIFICE OF VICISSITUDES' by Iniquitous Savagery posthaste.

BAND: Theurgy
ALBUM TITLE:
RECORD LABEL: New Standard Elite

Consisting of members from Thailand, America and Italy, Theurgy construct psychoactive, hallucinogenic Brutal, Technical Death Metal that will rewire your neurochemistry as you flail about in a state of blissful delerium.

Released earlier this year by the mighty New Standard Elite, 'Emanations Of Unconscious Luminescence' is a crushing and kaleidoscopic work of mind bending, Brutal Tech-Death that will dislodge your frontal lobe with a frenzied onslaught of convulsing rhythms, monstrous riffs, dexterous, devastating drumming and vile, ultra guttural vocals.

Featuring seasoned veterans such as Nikhil Talwalkar, Marco Finco, Polwack Beohaimook and Brandon Lacovella in their ranks it is no wonder that Theurgy unleash such expertly executed Brutal Tech-Death.

Surrender to their psychotropic smorgasbord of turbulent time signatures, deranged guitar theatrics, explosive drumming and gurgling vocals as your spirited away on a celestial journey of the most jarring and jubilant proportions.

Punctuated by a punchy plethora of pinch harmonics and pummeling rhythmic interludes, opening track 'Miracles Of Absolute Hedonism' is further pieced together by gravity-blasts and a barrage of stylistic Slap-Bass bludgeon.

'Thaumaturgic Studies Of The Glittering Resplendency Beyond' is wreathed in maniacal arpeggios as it propels itself atop a bruising grid of bruitish riffs and technical flourishes. The melodious overlay that is perhaps the most central tenet to this track sounds like it came from the places between the stars.

'Abstract Deterioration Of Intricate Thoughts' is fueled by blistering blast-beats, barbaric breakdowns and a solar system of progressive guitar motifs that blend melody and murderous fretboard gymnastics together with aplomb.

There is undoubtedly a fondness for Prog within the Theurgy camp and this proggressive characteristic is expertly folded into the ferocious Tech-Death that Theurgy conjure forth with such power and professionalism.

'Supreme Comprehension Of The Great Mysteries' is emblematic of the volcanic formula that is evidenced in many Theurgy songs. Throughout this track otherworldly arpeggios, leads and melodies meld to a furious freight train of convulsing rhythms, chunky riffs and guttural vox that gurgle and splutter in the most inhuman fashion.

Included in the 29 minute runtime of 'Emanations Of Unconscious Luminescence' is a heaving cover of the Devourment classic 'Molesting The Decapitated'. Devoid of window dressing and somewhat faster then its, namesake, this cover is a homage steeped in love and adoration.

In conclusion Theurgy have released one of the most unique, iconoclastic, captivating and fun Brutal Death Metal albums I have experienced this year.

Without sacrificing any of the grisly barbarism of Brutal Death Metal, Theurgy have created a dynamic, cosmic and collossal work of Proggy Tech Death that will make you stomp your studded boots and bang your greasy head while you swirl about unparalleled dimensions with awe!

BAND
ALBUM
Record label Translation Loss Records

Los Angeles based battalion Teeth unleash a maelstrom of menacing Death Metal that is dense, dissonant, cavernous and deadly.

Weaving Dissonant, Cavernous and Technical Death Metal into their turbulent tapestry, TEETH succeed at creating caustic Death Metal that is seamless, scorching, savage and superbly executed.

Imagine the odorous onslaught of Our Place Of Worship Is Silence, vintage Yattering, Hate Eternal and Nightmarer melded to the most murderous moments invoked by Ulcerate and you will have an idea as to the type of punishing, cavernous, bone crushing Death Metal TEETH conjure forth with such vicious conviction.

Released earlier this year their latest album 'The Will Of Hate' consists of eleven cranium cracking tracks that act as a impenetrable, cryptic sonic monolith that exudes dread and horror.

Beginning with the battery of 'Blight', a bruising freight train of bludgeoning riffs and convulsing rhythms, 'The Will Of Hate' hastily holds you captive in a conflagration of dark, oppressive Death Metal.

With its spiralling riffs and nightmarish lead overlays 'Prison' shows no mercy as it its mangled songcraft leads us through a blood encrusted, barbed wire labyrinth.

With a froth of melodious lead overlays 'Shiver' collapses inward atop a melancholic bedrock of middle eastern inspired guitar melodies before its pulverizing latter half takes precedence over the remainder of the proceedings.

Like contemporary bands such as Replicant, Cathexis, Ignominy, Nightmarer and Altatage, TEETH specialize in summoning forth pitch black tidal waves of highly textured Death Metal that celebrate and chronicle all things macabre and ghastly. The atmosphere that pervades throughout 'The Will Of Hate' is eerie and unsettling, visceral in the best possible way.

'Apparition' is a monstrous piece of colossal riffs, roaring vocals and rhythms that stagger forth like prehistoric beasts at battle.

Every one of the immaculately executed tracks that make up the megalithic and misanthropic 'The Will Of Hate' are high caliber examples of Dissonant, Tech infused Cavernous Death Metal of the most malignantly majestic sort.

I kneel beneath the firey, black altar that is 'The Will Of Hate' by TEETH in awe and reverence. You should to.

ALBUM

The latest album by NAILS, 'Every Bridge Burning' is a bone crunching confluence of Crust Punk, Powerviolence, Grindcore, Hardcore and War Metal. It is as deadly as a firing squad and as murderous as an Angolan cannibal warlord. This album displays NAILS mastery of violent Crust Punk infused Hardcore inflected War Metal wildfire with savage swagger and punishing aplomb.

Every vitriolic burst of blistering, nasty Hardcore is akin to having ones cranium caved in by a chrome plated baseball bat in a seedy neighborhood where plumes of crystal meth smoke waft through the air as domestic abuse and alcoholism take place behind closed doors.

This is raw, rough hewn music that mines the most deplorable and dark chasms of the human condition with an artillery of skull crushing rhythms, scalding riffs, vicious drum battery as the acidic vocals of frontman Todd Joans lead the charge with tales of angst, anguish, existential despair, anger and nihilism. If you have yet to experience this aggressive work of neck snapping intensity, do so and posthaste!

Album:
Record Label: Relapse Records

2024 has offered us a dynamic and blazing plethora of high caliber Metal and yet it behooves me to highlight certain albums that may have flown beneath your proverbial radar. Albums I truly believe need to be experienced in all their exhilarating glory. Who knows, perhaps an album featured here will end up as one of your ultimate Metal experiences that this year had to offer. 'Spleen & Goad' by Iron Monkey is a case in point.

Ever since I heard their debut EP as an asolescent I was smitten by the bowel-bursting, groove-infused, bludgeoning, embittered Sludge spewed forth by Iron Monkey. Their latest album 'Spleen & Goad' released earlier this year by Relapse Records is a crushing and canankerous exercise in corrosive Sludge Metal. On 'Spleen & Goad' sledgehammer like rhythms, odorous, black heroin-caked- 'Sabbath like riffs, hateful, unhinged vocals and barbaric drumming collide like collapsing skyscrapers with the bodies caught within its concrete infrastructure. Merciless. Nihilistic and malevolently beautiful.

Its that time of year, a time in which best of lists are being frienziedly, intricately and immaculately compiled.

Here in the Metal community the new year's roundup of everyone's ultimate Metal albums is a ritual which is followed and undertaken with an almost religious like fervor.

2024 has offered us a dynamic and blazing plethora of high caliber Metal and yet it behooves me to highlight certain albums that may have flown beneath your proverbial radar. These are albums I truly believe need to be experienced in all their exhilarating glory.

Who knows, perhaps an album featured here will end up as one of your ultimate Metal experiences that this year had to offer.

The convulsing, crepuscular and crushing Death Metal plied by TEETH on their latest LP, the Translation Records released 'The Will Of Hate' takes no prisoners in its quest to decimate everything in its orbit. This is an album that will leave all who harbor a penchant for pulverizing Dissonant Death Metal smitten like a kitten!

'The Will Of Hate' is a smoldering piece of punishing Death Metal, a tour de force that ferociously melds Tech, Dissonant and Cavernous Death Metal into a malevolent maelstrom where megalithic rhythms, mangled riffs and roaring vocals work in unison to create a sonic work of art that is as deadly as an airborne contaigion.
