 The sound is hard yet often fluid and airy, well-blended between a solid post-'Human' Death base and fusion incursions worthy of vintage Cynic.

 The flaw... is the excessive mannerism and lack of that spark of genius or innovation, or simply the absence of tracks with irresistible drive.

Tomb Mold's 'The Enduring Spirit' is a well-produced technical death metal album that balances heaviness with fluidity and fusion influences. While it fits well within the current death metal scene alongside bands like Blood Incantation, it lacks a memorable spark or truly innovative moments. The band's sound is more natural and less forced than some predecessors but could benefit from more dynamic tracks to leave a lasting impact. Explore Tomb Mold's 'The Enduring Spirit' and hear where classic death metal meets fluid technicality.

 From the swampy lands of Florida comes the putrescent Foreverglade by Worm, dated October 2021.

 Listening to the work, a labyrinthine disfiguring disdain emerges... the heavy metal soul unsheathed by the great solo guitar, in search of a pale sun beyond the miasmas.

Foreverglade by Worm is a doom and black metal album from Florida steeped in dark, heavy, and suffocating atmospheres. It presents slow, torturous musical passages with abrasive vocals and rich, layered guitar work.

Production choices lead to a sprawling, cinematic experience that challenges but intrigues listeners. While not flawless, it is notable for its unique, immersive qualities. Dive into Worm’s Foreverglade for a dark, heavy, and haunting doom metal experience.

 Production too precise, 'clean' despite the sound.

 Utterly banal mid-tempos heard dozens of times... I really struggled to make it to the end of the work.

The review covers Obituary's 11th album 'Dying of Everything' released in 2023. While the production is clean and precise, it lacks the raw, 'cavernous' sound that longtime fans cherish. Only the opening track stands out with its intensity, but the rest of the album feels predictable and uninspired. Despite personal disappointment, the reviewer gives a barely passing grade due to emotional attachment. Discover Obituary's latest release and decide if 'Dying of Everything' lives up to Death Metal expectations!

 My verdict on the new Carcass album is totally, absolutely negative.

 I found them boring, banal, predictable.

This review strongly criticizes Carcass's latest album Torn Arteries for lacking the raw power and intensity that defined their earlier work. The reviewer finds the production overly clean and the music boring and predictable. Only a few tracks were listened to, but they were enough to reject the album entirely. The album cover is also dismissed as a failed artistic choice. Despite the band's legendary status, this release is considered a major disappointment. Read the full critical review of Carcass's Torn Arteries and decide for yourself if it lives up to the band's legacy.

 Thirty minutes of distortions, growls, and lysergic-aggressive bangs that could open a portal to Nibiru or Aldebaran.

 No Elysian fields then for the unworthy metal-listeners, but as Azagthoth foretold, only portals for annihilation.

The review praises Of Feather and Bone's album Sulfuric Disintegration for its intense distortions and oppressive atmosphere.

 The voice is closer to Death Metal, and the lyrics focus on the misanthropy and violence that the current society has plunged into, in an allegory of esotericism and pagan rituals.

 Redemption is a very aggressive song, it reminds me a bit of the old Sodom and the old-fashioned Thrash Metal.

The 'Abraxas' EP by Necrolust complements their album 'Inferno' with two intense and fast tracks showcasing compact, dark tones.
