DEAD METAL

All death metal releases... Immolation ( US ) - Unholy Cult ( Listenable/Olympic, 2002 ): Nocturnal Vomit ( Greece ) - Cursed Relics ( Kill Yourself/Imperium/Terror From Hell/Afterlife, 2012 ): Cavurn ( US ) ‎– Rehearsal ( Blood Harvest, 2017 ): Phobophilic ‎( US ) – Undimensioned Identities ( Rotted Life/Blood Harvest, 2019 ): ...and a bonus recommendation: Humanity Delete ( Sweden ) / Carnal Garden ‎( Greece ) – Anthems Of Doom / Lethal Onslaught  ( Iron Blood And Death Corporation )

Here we have the first offering from this German three-piece. Three tracks of exceptional death-doom, which could be filed next to demos from  Cavurn  and  Můra . What perhaps most sets this 16.5 minute EP apart from the crowd is the way it ends, which is random and cool in equal measure. You can sneak a preview at the bottom of this post if you are so inclined. Putrefaction '21 is available to download from  Bandcamp , and also has a cassette release courtesy of  Headsplit Records . A highly recommended debut; we most definitely look forward to more from this band.

Můra is a Czech band, and this is their (outstanding) debut release. Doom Invocations And Narcotic Rituals is a two track EP, which clocks in at just under twenty minutes. Death-doom with some black metal elements here; it could be filed next to Cavurn  or  Krypts . The only physical release has been a limited edition cassette from Caligari , but you can also download it on  Bandcamp  (and stream it below). We very much look forward to hearing more from these guys.
