YomaBarr This sounds garage. In a good way. You know. As if the guys met, opened beers and said "OK, and now let's make some metal".
And they did :)

KillingForCompany I'm telling you -.This band is just getting started. An interesting blend of raw black, some death metal phrasing, and post-hardcore. A young but deft hand on the pulse of USBM. Full length coming in here in 2020! Favorite track: Cloak of Dying Light.

METAL MATT This is the some Brutal music! I cannot fathom how these guy's aren't signed to a big record label yet. Some of the BEST Metal that I've heard lately and I will be following these guys from here on out. Horns Up and Stay Metal! \m/

flightoficarus (Metal Trenches) How can I say no to helping out an underground band that somehow channels the icy cold of Norwegian forests from the hot and hazy South? Trust me ya'll, I lived in Memphis for 5 years, and there is nothing kvlt about it being 90 degrees and humid at 10 o'clock at night. In any case, these dudes do a great job of channeling all of the old tropes. I could easily be tricked into thinking this was some lost Scandinavian album from the 90's.

greggphilly Where has this been all my life? I sort of stumbled upon the band by accident...i think i was scrolling thru facebook or instagram and saw an ad with a 15 second snippet from one of their songs....needless to say that was all i needed to hear to check out their album on youtube while i was couchlocked at a party. A few friends around me took an interest too. Immediately we knew that there was some serious talent here and a sound that seperates them from anything else Ive heard. Theres nothing i dont like about the album; it fucking shreds and I cant wait for "II" to come out.

Meatbreak The US-based three-piece deliver four imperious tracks of seething, shimmering raw melodicism, buttressed by choral drone-ambient on the way in and out of the storm.

An excellently arresting ep. Favorite track: Cloak of Dying Light.

Vestiges of Visceral Doom

I instantly got lost in the glorious atmosphere of despair, but in a comforting way, like one who has come to terms with death and has learned to love the liberation of embracing the sorrow. 10/10 Aphelion

Absolutely strong, black and bitter, like a cup of good old coffee or a properly packed pipe of strong tobacco. The album won't let you go unless you listen through it since the very first minute to the very last one, sunken in the frozen obsydian abyss. 10/10. lanserger22
