ALT Baltimore, Maryland's own weirdo thrash stalwarts Nuclear Tomb are back and as vicious as ever with their new album "Epoch Inhumane" out June 12th on Rotted Life Records! Their unique fusion of tight thrash riffing, noisy punk aggression, progressive rock ambition, and classic heavy metal grandeur has brought comparisons to trailblazing metal mavericks such as Voivod, Pestilence, and Coroner.
The band, refusing to rest on their laurels, spent the last two years crafting new material which they introduced and refined in front of audiences at raging, high-energy gigs ranging as far as Texas to Quebec.

ALT While an active member of its golden era, DEFILED are neither relics nor custodians for old-school death metal. Like the Japanese salamander, the Tokyo legends have evolved in isolation away from scenes or trends. The band’s ninth album continues their mastery of the form, but "Altered State" bears only a passing resemblance to the genre’s past or present.
On "Altered State", DEFILED unleash a dizzying blast of death metal straight from the future.

ALT Throughout Devourment’s twenty four years of existence, one thing has remained constant: unyielding brutality.

After 7 long-awaited years, DEVOURMENT returns with Pious Impiety. The 7" EP relentlessly churns through some of the band's most disgustingly heavy, trademark brutal slabs of slam to date!

ALT Baalzagoth, a band from Kostrzyn nad Odrą, makes it clear from the very first notes: compromise, redemption or mercy have no place here. The band, which is dedicated to the aesthetics of blackened death metal, delivers brutal, direct music that is deliberately directed against religious dogma. Their sound is a sonic masterpiece – heavy, dense and imbued with a darkness that not only accompanies but overwhelms.
Baalzagoth draws on the hellish legacy of death metal – echoes of the merciless force of Morbid Angel, the suffocating chaos of Incantation, the ritualistic rigour of Immolation and the extreme intensity of Hate Eternal. Yet this is neither a copy nor a nostalgic homage – the band takes the hardest, darkest and most primal elements of death metal and pushes the brutality to the absolute limit.
ALT It has been 14 years since “…In Unholy Morning”. A long time, but for HEADHUNTER DC, this seems to have almost become a trademark.
Death metal is the defining characteristic of HEADHUNTER DC, and “Rise of the Damned…” is a work that impressively demonstrates this. The band has undergone several line-up changes since their last album, including a change of guitarist, which for any band brings with it significant repercussions and concerns regarding potential changes.
The result is an album that uses brutality as a weapon of destruction, yet in places lends it even greater weight and morbidity. The solos have improved in both quality and technique, giving the songs a harmonious balance.

ALT MAGEFA – Extreme metal chaos from Frankfurt. Formed in 2014, the band MAGEFA takes its name from the Hebrew word for “plague,” which perfectly suits their rousing, brutal sound.
If you appreciate old-school death metal in the tradition of CANNIBAL CORPSE, BOLT THROWER, or CARCASS, this band is right up your alley. The Frankfurt-based quartet has been making its way through the extreme underground scene for over a decade and now presents an album that delves thematically into war, destruction, and human decay. The four musicians effortlessly bring the musical prowess required for this uncompromising direction: massive riffs, driving rhythms, and a clear focus on maximum aggression.

ALT Inspired by their own experiences and dark legends, Space Parasites once again tread a mystical path. "Make Me Evil" plunges the listener into a realm of madness and horror, where deception, revenge, and inner decay reign supreme. Iron Daschke and Matti Massaker unleash a tremendous guitar onslaught, precise and ferocious at the same time, while T-moe Terror's bass amplifies the songs' relentless pull. The precision drums drive the music forward with a powerful punch, setting brutal accents and leaving no room to breathe. Above all soars the voice of the frontwoman - snarling, incantatory, merciless. It is not a song, but a curse that tears away veils, unleashes demons, and dictates the ritual.

ALT US progressive/technical death metal Xenosis have been at it for years, honing their craft with each album and showcasing a flair for experimentation too. On their fifth full-length album, "Hermetic Transmutation", they retain their core sound as they elaborate on both the progressive and technical aspects, even borrowing elements of brutal death metal and dissonant death metal to achieve that. The influences are finely integrated into their ever throbbing, busy music, never seeming forced and instead adding meaningful variation to their intense sound. The music's persistent groove belies its highly intricate quality; there's just so much happening while you're busy bobbing your head, tapping your feet, or rolling on the floor. After years of toiling, Xenosis have created a delightfully engrossing album that is bound to confound, tantalize, and ultimately satiate fans of this kind of music.
ALT Formed in 2010, Nights of Malice are based out of Ocean County, New Jersey. Combining elements of every members influences, Nights of Malice have found themselves a very dynamic and unique sound which largely pulls from death metal and deathcore, while still being able to openly explore other sub-genres with ease, given each members wide-scaled tastes in music. The band is an ever-growing hive mind, with each member providing a massive contributing factor to the bands constantly-evolving sound.
