As always, apologies to those who don't like gross death metal (keep scrolling!) but for those who DO like gross death metal, I somehow missed this LP from GORUPTED (a one man band/project from France) last year. No idea how.
This might've made my favorite albums list from last year, had I heard it. It's THAT good of gross death metal.
For #ThursDeath this week, something special I somehow missed from 2023.
Canada's COPROLITH (what's in the water up there in Canada?) released this grody, crushing, disgusting self-titled demo last year. It starts with this wall of sound type riff and then it devolves into this midtempo riff, and goes back and forth.. THIS is the shit I LOVE. And then 6 tracks of this. 🤯
Rotted Life Records have some INCREDIBLE bands on their roster.

Killing For Revenge
Death metal's scary, weird uncle is back again. SIX FEET UNDER have been a resolute force for heaviness and horror for over 30 years now, and despite all the lineup changes that have threatened to pull the band into the grave, frontman Chris Barnes (ex-CANNIBAL CORPSE, as if you didn't know!) has ke...
Yesterday I ran across this incredible Maryland based death metal label Rotted Life Records. Fans of chunky, gross worm-infested cavernous sewer metal like @HailsandAles, @wendigo and I are will definitely wanna give their stuff a listen.
They have a couple new ones coming out later this month, too. Almost everything I've heard from them so far is 🔥
Here's the weekly #OPM digest ! A one-stop guide to #music selections from 8 Fediverse #Musicians . It's a great place to get some #BandcampFriday selections, or maybe find a new favorite artist.
As always, you can find a permanent archive of these, with slightly longer writeups, at my blog. The permalink for this week's is here:
Hell yeah, a death #metal tune about #vampires! I know that’s all some of you even need to hear, for good or for ill, but stick with me for a moment. The vocals lean into the gargled-glass school of metal growls (sometimes dismissed as “Cookie Monster vocals”); the guitars chug, soar and howl as needed. The drums are programmed but they get the job done just fine. A fun dip into the heavy side of the pool.
The album cover art on this one is kinda gross, but I wanted feature the new EP 'Ergotism' that was just released by Canada's LAST RETCH for this week's #ThursDeath. It's pretty great.
