Stand outs this week:
Centuries of Decay - Second album from Canadian progressive death metal band with some atmosphere. From their Bandcamp: “At its core, Centuries of Decay’s music is a meditation on the passage of time, inviting listeners to confront themes of change, grief, and personal growth through an emotionally charged, cathartic experience.”
Eskapism - Third album from Ukranian atmospheric black metal band with nature inspired themes.
Crungus - Second album from brutal blackened death metal band from Texas.
Also looking forward to: Sallow Moth - Harvested - Ancient Torment - When Man Meets His Maker - Creatvre - Amphisbaena - Vaegon
