I got a Bandcamp email from Sentient Ruin and the dude used "⚡️⚡️" runes as bullets on his list of releases and like... dude. Really?

Speaking of the New Standard Elite releases, I'm digging the Asphyxiate. Just enough hints of Old-school in their brutalness, and they're from Indonesia!

yes! that one really delivered on the promise of the teaser tracks. the whole record is sweet as hell.
speaking of which, new altarage incoming:https://altarage.bandcamp.com/album/succumb
those two teaser tracks bode very well imo
the odd production choices, hints of grind, and overall speed and density of the sound all make me think of knelt rote (who I love) without really sounding like them. great band.

some very solid new polish bm, opens with a sample from the devils which can only bode well

This is more hard rock than metal, but it will likely be my favorite album this year barring something else blowing me away.
Rubbery Lips by @hotbreathgbg (@TheSignRecords)This Swedish hard rock is crunchy, catchy, and easily my favorite record of the year thus far. Think Runaways, old Riot, original Alice Cooper Band, with a metallic sheen. https://t.co/bkSWNkCBtN #NowPlaying— Brian O'Neill (@NYC__Native) April 9, 2021

I had All Reflections Drained on the other week and was pleased how well it had stood up.
That, on the other hand, is dreadful.

even tho the direction he's taken xasthur is... not my thing, I do respect that he seems to be doing exactly what he wants to be doing. a name change might have been good tho.
and speaking of going fash or not, thought this review was a little too charitable:https://grizzlybutts.com/2021/04/04/sielunvihollinen-teloituskasky-2021-review/
DTB isn't just some vaguely sketchy black metal label, it is pretty openly what it is and it seems weird to mention the label but not mention that

Këkht Aräkh is making me smile. Bedroom black metal with a forlorn, romantic sensibility by a guy who calls himself the Crying Orc. Pretty close to Under a Funeral Moon at times.

the new lion's daughter album is absolutely fucking awesome. I liked their last one, it was super intense, this one is...poppier? I mean the singer's still roaring like the dude from Darkane in '99. but the riffs are tight and the synths are soundtrack-y, they're kind of reaching for something beyond "overwhelm you with force." great band imo

I love Crystal Viper, and yeah, the new album is really good. (CW: It's a Lovecraftian concept album.)
This video — a newly married couple doing their first wedding dance to Napalm Death's "You Suffer" — is...well, I just described it. But you should watch anyway, because it rules.

seems to be brutal death metal focused on drug abuse as a general topic. a lot of the tags say deathcore/slam, but a lot of it sounds like traditional brutal dm with occasional slam moments. there are actual riffs for one. vocals are kinda typical.
I dig. and it's name your own price.

yeah, the Metharoma record, like pretty much all New Standard Elite releases, is good as hell.
It even inspired young Nikhil to emerge from his post-Anal Stabwound album release hibernation and/or grounding for a new cover vid.

That whole label is awesome. I'm gonna have to explore their other 2021 releases.
Also, this is going to sound sacrilegious, but I revisited Suffocation's Effigy of the Forgotten a few days ago and I've come to the conclusion that I actually prefer their contemporary copycats in terms of performance (often tighter and more virtuosic) and recording technique (a fuller, beefier sound that suits the subgenre better).

the other thing I discovered today
https://anthropophagous.bandcamp.com/album/death-fugue
starts with a horror movie synth (makes sense, Anthropophagous was a movie), this is very much the old school 80s/early 90s death style. lots of blasts, hollow guitars that are crisp and crunchy, vocals that are unique, lots of tempo changes.
― Filibuster Poindexter (Neanderthal), Monday, 26 April 2021 17:31 (two years ago) link
