After four years of near silence, Vastum return with ‘Orificial Purge,’ their much-awaited follow up to the acclaimed ‘Hole Below.’ Their fourth album, ‘Orificial Purge’ offers a distinctive blend of sinister atmosphere, punishing brutality, and an unparalleled lyrical and visual imagery that traces connections between perversion, mortification, and an abyssal mysticism of sin.
With exanguinating precision, @scatteredremnantsma brings DEATH in the truest and most unforgiving sense. We URGE you to listen to Procreating Mass Carnage, Inherent Perversion, and Destined to Fail in their entirety for an unmatched masterclass in massive grooves, unexpected changes, blistering riffs, and a unique horror laden flair to their compositions and arrangements that are sure to leave you terrified and wanting more!
Cavern Womb from Philadelphia is a new band that has demonstrated an @cavernwomb from Philadelphia is a new band that has demonstrated an expansive sound that in less than a year has brought a delirium inducing Scandinavian panache in tight concert with slow trudging grooves and the spooky atmosphere of the old-school bands everyone knows and loves. Cavern Womb, fresh from a split release with @noxisdeathmetal on @rottedliferecords, have proven that they are a force to be reckoned with.
Next up: @phobophilic_ from North Dakota. With their debut release, Undimensioned Identities, their split release with @sedimentum.decimation, and a bludgeoning rehearsal release from 2019, Phobophilic have shown not only their musical prowess, but also their twisted sense of morbid storytelling through [these days] a more unconventional and off kilter horrific soundscape that stays true to the wired forefathers from the osdm scene. Phobophilic is a contemporary death metal outfit sure to wow fans of Demilich, Crematory, Timeghoul, Morpheus Descends, and more. I personally can’t get enough of this shit.
A band that takes no prisoners in their mechanized assault of buzzing chainsaw riffs, gargantuan vocals, and galloping war-machine drumming: @soul_devourmentdm . Hailing from Los Angeles California, Soul Devourment brings a sound dripping with aggression, and a brutish, yet ferocious style that evokes memories of classics like Cemetary, Grave, Dismember and more. Soul Devourment has 3 punishing releases available on @sewer_rot_records that each demonstrate that this band is not a band to fuck around. Total adjective count so far: “Ferocious”, “Gargantuan”, “Mechanized”, “Brutish”, “Punishing”, pretty enticing for a metal head don’t you agree?
Risen from the blackened soils of Philadelphia, @bloodsporeband warns us of the horros that await not just mankind, but All Life as we know it. For the ancient earthen fungal overlords that dwell beneath and among the living, are to reclaim all that is theirs. These hostile fruiting bodies will destroy and dismantle everything we know. Nothing is safe, and they cannot take shape without human blood. Behold, the curse upon all life: you that have lived shall never sleep in death.
@coagulatempls, a band that is spewed into existence a few years ago from Minneapolis with a shared vision of twisting riffs, haunting melody, and a world plagued by inter-dimensional vampires hellbent on the enslavement of the human race. Coagulate is not a band to sacrifice their sound and vision in any way, they are a force dedicated to terrifying the listener, and dissolving their soul into aethers peripheral to our reality.
Pioneers of Wisconsin Death Metal , @Viogressionofficial honed their craft opening shows for such legendary acts as Morbid Saint, Laaz Rockit and Coroner.

More recently Viogression has performed with Blood, Massacre, Nunslaughter & Gruesome to name a few. Viogression will once again be out on tour in support of their soon to be released 3rd album ~ 3rd Stage of Decay. The experience of a Viogression live show is not to be missed – The Wisconsin Death Metal legend’s fire still burns…

Introducing @nighthag_deathmetal, a band that has slithered through every hill, swamp, and bog just south of the Mason-Dixon line in Virginia to bring you their unrelenting take on truly vile DeathDoom. Having experimented over a myriad of demos, EPs, and a split release, @nighthag_deathmetal will soon release their debut full length recording: “Phantasmal Scourge”. This album lives up to its name, and is not for the faint of heart. It conjures the maligned spirits and specters of long dead hessian mercenaries and evil souls through an uncompromising blend of mid-paced drudgery, truly ghoulish vocals, blasting assaults, and an unusually thick atmosphere befitting a field of freshly unearthed, battle slain corpses.
Next up is another Philadelphia based band that is ferociously attacking our scene, @bastardcrossphl. With hellish ease, and barbarously blackened barrages of black-thrash brutality, Bastard Cross delivers a pummelling sound that is sure to keep all of the studs on that leather jacket standing straight up.
Formed in 2010 as a trio in the obscure southern US, #Ectovoid embarked on a morbid quest to unite bizarre black/death metal songwriting with raw aggression and unsettling lyrical musings into a dismal musical exploration into the bleakest corners of the mind and soul. Driven by unusual and unsettling riffs, textured and intense drumming, and darkly memorable vocals and hooks, Ectovoid’s music pays homage to the respected bands of yore while forging ahead with an innovative sound and identity independent of the various trends flowing in and out of the larger scene. Across two full-length albums and various other releases, the band has fiercely honed their craft, carving out a distinct identity in the broader death metal landscape while continuing to pursue higher plateaus of dark death metal artistry.
@castratorband was born from the depths of the old school death metal scene. Their music creates a brutal experience that will leave the listener craving more.
The band came to life in 2013 with a small run of a 2 song demo. After, the excitement those two songs created, @castratorband later released another demo titled “No Victim” which was released in 2015. This caused a buzz in the metal scene and attention to the band where they were asked to bring their
brutality to live shows and festivals. @castratorband has continued the buzz in the metal scene ever since. With a highly anticipated album recorded, they are finally ready to unleash the new album upon the world, and bring their music to masses with more live shows and tours. @castratorband draws from the 30 plus collective years of experience of its members and is now poised to dominate and emasculate the world!
Druid Lord arose from the putrescent mists in what is known by most as the year 2010. Whispers of demented souls throughout mankind’s short history formed a swirling pool of tortured and disturbing tales from which Druid Lord chose to derive their dreadful and woe begotten songs. The band has been extremely prolific in releasing three full lengths and split EPs though out the years. Their most recent being record being “Relics of the Dead” out on Hell Headbangers Records in 2022. The band has gained quite a following in the US, and worldwide. Druid Lord has a sound comparable but not limited to Hooded Menace, Autopsy, Abhorrence (fin), and much more. Druid lord will lure your soul in with pummeling doom/death, and then quickly drag your carcass into the forsaken depths all within the same song. @druidlord has an imagery which is extremely strong and is only comparable to foul smelling torture chambers and corroding castles. Old school horror maniacs, and doom fans alike have taken well to their sound which has been formed through the usage of samples, crushing riffs, and haunting interludes.
