Technical Death Metal

Per Carnosus’s Facebook page, Toilet ov Hell is doing an early debut of tomorrow’s new single, Yearnings of a Rotten Spine!

These guys' latest album really took me by surprise, so I went through their discography, and it's a fun trip

• A Thousand Wounds - S/T (USA-FL) (arguably technical deathcore)
• The Black Dahlia Murder - Servitude (USA-MI) (melodeath)
• Blighted Eye - Agony's Bespoke (USA-WA) (missed this one last -week)
• Buicide - Aftermath Existence (Russia)
• Obsidian Mantra - As We All Will (Poland)
• Ophidian Memory - Carrion Lord (USA-IA)
• Pesterous Mind - Endcide (Germany)
• Radiant Black - Rituals of Anarchy (Israel)

• Aro Ora - The Twelfth Hour (France)
• Vitur - Transcending the Self (Poland)

• Brinicle - Perceptions of Reality (Colombia)
• Crypt Crawler - The Immortal Realm (AUS-WA)
• Insurrection - Obsolescence (CAN-QC)
• Soulmass - Promise [EP] (USA-FL)

ffo Griefgod, so I guess melodic tech? idk I'm not great with labels, but don't sleep on this

Even more!

From their Facebook page:

“New single premieres early this Wednesday, Sept 11 over at Heavy Blog is Heavy! Available on all streaming platforms Friday, Sept 13.”

More "title track on S/T"

Another, another!

Light on certified tech this week, but some good ones

• Corpse Worship - Cemetery Anthems (Russia) (not really tech, but pretty cool)
• Grimaze - The Heart of a Collapsing Star (Bulgaria)

Another "title track from eponymous release" example!

How’d everyone like the new Vale? I see what people are saying about the stylistic shift, but this is still sick

• Teeth - The Will of Hate (USA-CA)
• Wintersun - Time II (Finland) (melodeath, but seems to be a big deal)

Bonus - deathcore:

• Oceano - Living Chaos (USA-IL)
• To The Grave - Everyone's a Murderer (AUS-NSW)

Nile and Fleshgod, what a week to have ears!

• Fleshgod Apocalypse - Opera (Italy)
• Nile - The Underworld Awaits Us All (USA-SC)
• Within the Ruins - Phenomena II (USA-MA) (core)

Light week, but the Carnosus single and album announcement are exciting!

• Carnosus - Within Throat, Within Heart (Single) (Sweden)
• Evilyn - Mondestrunken (International)
• Vile Rites - Senescence (USA-CA)

Let myself get pretty behind, here are the releases that jumped out last week, not all particularly tech.

• Anoxide - Morals & Dogma (UK-ENG)
• Becoming the Entity - Chronicles of the Trephine [...] [EP] (Mexico)
• Commorion - Purga Infernal [EP] (Colombia)
• Diamortal - Proceeding Inhumanity (Germany)

From the band via Facebook:

Whispered among worms were the rumors of a new album by death metal outfit Carnosus. Heavier and darker, slithering its way from Örebro, Sweden, comes Wormtales, a prequel to the critically acclaimed 2023 album, Visions of Infinihility. Wormtales contains some of the band's most impressive riffs thus far and once again lures the listener into the realm of infinihility.

Release date: October 18 on Willowtip Records

Track Listing:

1. Birthless
2. Within Throat, Within Heart
3. Neglectikon
4. Yearnings of A Rotten Spine
5. Worm Charmer
6. Harbinger of Woundism
7. Paradoxical Impulse
8. Wound of Wisdom

10. Solace In Soil
