Disembodiment’s Spiral Crypts is a festering, atmospheric death metal triumph—thick with cavernous riffs, feral vocals, and a suffocating sense of dread that drags you into its rotting abyss and refuses to let go. @EverlastingSpew | #DeathMetal

When it comes to tearing through the boundaries of unfiltered sound, Extraction by LarcɆnia RoɆ stands as a monument to pure, unapologetic savagery. A controlled chaos of bone-splitting riffs, soul-shredding vocals, and relentless energy. This is a tribute to raw brutality.

March of Scylla - Andromeda A breathtaking leap into the void— metalcore-fused progressive death metal forged in cosmic fire. Balancing sheer heaviness with intricate atmosphere, it conjures vast soundscapes where crushing riffs, celestial melodies, and star-born chaos collide. Ambitious, precise, and emotionally resonant, Andromeda isn’t just an album—it’s a galactic odyssey that proves March of Scylla are not just reaching for the stars, they’re charting their own constellation. One of this year's finest albums. An absolute mind-blowing experience. marchofscylla.bandcamp.com/a… #Andromeda #MarchOfScylla #Metal2025

Another Perfect Day, Motörhead’s boldest left turn — Robbo’s melodic flair meets Lemmy’s grit in a record that’s moody, sharp, and strangely elegant. Misunderstood in ’83, revered now. A misfit masterpiece that aged into legend. Happy Birthday APD. #Motorhead
