Final Days album to be self released December 4 2015. As the name implies, it is exactly what you'll hear. Opening with bomb sirens into the song "Dawn Patrol", a powerful track to pummel the senses. Guitar riffs shredding with fast attack and ripping solo work. Some of the influences that come to mind would be bands like Overkill, D.R.I. early Anthrax and Slayer. As you might imaging the majority of the content is war and conflict related. The song that peaked my interest the most would have to be the title track "Final Days". A futuristic war against aliens with dire consequences.
In conclusion, good production quality catchy riffs and memorable solos. Fans of thrash/war metal will want to add this one to their collection.~Artemortifica

Grey Heaven Fall is a three piece band consisting of Arsagor - Vocals, Guitars, SS - Bass Guitar, Pavel - Drums. Genre described as Black Metal, Death Metal. Band origin Podolsk (Russia)
Black Wisdom album released on Aesthetics of Devastation October 30 2015. My first impression, the dark atmosphere converges all the senses from the opening track. It captivates my interest. The dissonant chords of the song "The Lord Blissful in Grief", set you up to explore the deepest part of the abyss. Visions of dark paths through hazy mist materialize in my mind as I listen. The production is very good. The vocals are mostly black metal style with some high peaks at moments. Solid drum sound and powerful guitar tones. Along with all the dissonance and chaos, you will also hear some melodic phrases in the compositions. Tracks like "That Nail In The Heart", is haunting and catchy and it is one of my favorite tracks on this album.
In conclusion, the band manages to capture the listeners attention with dark malevolent sounds and still remain melodic. I recommended it to all BM as well as death metal fans.

Preemptive Space Warfare album released on October 31 2015 Rotten Roll Rex. Slam and brutality, what more do you want. If the name does not spell it out for you then you might not want to hear it. But, for those of us who like our vocals heavy, pig squeals, fast attack and full of relentless gore this is just perfect. Songs like Milkstreet Mass Collision are bound to stomp you like yesterdays thrash. Another track worth mentioning is "Prophecy Of The Apocalypse", its a short song but packs a punch. Want to trow in some spacial and universal shit in there?, then checkout the track Orbital Corpses, its bound to make you punch asteroids in space.
In conclusion, the music deals out brutality with pure intensity. fans of slam metal like Devour The Unborn, Vulvectomy, Ingested and Whoretopsy will want to explore this album.~Artemortifica

Grunt is a three piece band consisting of Boy-D - Drums and Vocals, Boy-G - Guitars, Keyboards and Vocals, Boy-Z - Bass and Electronics. Genre described as Grind. Band origin Liverpool, United Kingdom.
Codex Bizarre album released on Bizarre Leprous Productions August 24 2015. I was not sure what to expect upon looking at the album cover and researching the band. Latex and grind, interesting combo. Keeping an open mind and letting my ears explore all aspect of underground music, I gave this one a spin. First of all, the production is very good, killer sounding drums, heavy guitars and stomping bass lines. Electronic samples that make you think of industrial music, but it is kept to a reasonable amount and done in a way that fits the level of brutality being projected. Grind is the main ingredient here and they deal it out in massive doses. The guitar player and drummer both handle the vocals, high and low trade off. The lyrics as you might aspect will leave you feeling a bit dirty. S&M, chains, whips, latex and domination. Songs like The Edge Play, Vassalage Grotesque and Teratoid Latex Feudalist are among the stand out tracks.
In conclusion, punishing in every sense of the word. If you are into S&M, latex and grind then this is the band to fit all those needs. The music combines grind brutality and Electronic sampling in a way that I had not heard before, which makes this album worth checking out. ~Artemortifica

Police State is a four piece band consisting of, Vox- Cole, Bass- KC, Guitar- Paul, Drums- Tyler. Genre described as Power-violence, grind and crust. Band origin; York, PA
Mind Collapse album to be released on Grimoire Records November 6th 2015. The heart of rebellion and anarchy can be heard in each song. Fast aggressive guitar riffs along with grinding/punk rock style of drumming. You can tell by the album cover they are anti-political and based on the FB banner "Fuck your War, Fuck your Borders, We Won't Follow your Fucking Orders", I like it, we need more bands like this.
The production is raw and to the bone. Of the ten tracks contain in this release, the songs that stood out the most to me would have to be, Resolution, Pure Filth and Karma. If you are looking for pure aggression with a message to the mainstream to "fuck off" then look no further. This band delivers a punch and kick to the brain. Any grind heads out there are sure to put this one on for several spins.
In conclusion, I enjoy the raw gritty nature of the compositions, anarchy and complete chaos is the main recepy and what's not to love about that. ~Artemortifica

Avulsed is a five piece band consisting of Dave Rotten: Vocals, Cabra: Guitar, Juancar: Guitar, Tana: Bass, Erik: Drums. Genre described as death metal. Band origin Madrid
Altar of Disembowelment album released on Xtreem Music September 15 2015. I remember listening to this band back when I was a teenager. Someone gave me a copy of Carnivoracity, I thought it was some of the most brutal stuff around. The cover was pure carnage and was struck by how intense the music was. Avulsed is a band that helped contribute to all the initial ground work for the death metal genre in the beginning. Releasing music since 1992 and continuing to build their arsenal without loosing vision of pure and aggressive compositions.
Listening to this latest Ep, I can say these are five tracks of heavy destructive death metal. From the start, the music obliterates the senses. No victims are spared as they deal out punishing blow after blow. Songs like Ceremony of Impalement devastate with low tuned guitars, stomping bass and savage drum attack. Some of the influences that can be picked out, would be, Obituary, Death, Gorefest and Cannibal Corpse. My favorite tracks have to be "Tremble in the Darkness" and "Red Viscera Serology", solid and crushing sounds. Plus they also dish out a Black Sabbath tune "Neon Knights", probably the heaviest version of this song I have ever heard.
In conclusion, the Ep adds to the ongoing saga of aggression these musicians have carved out in the history of death metal. Old school fans will not be disappointed and new comers to the scene can take note as to how brutality is dealt by these pioneers.
