Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/cam-girl-flesh-chrome-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Cam Girl – Flesh &amp; Chrome Review</a></p><p><i>By Kenstrosity</i></p><p>Every once in a blue moon, reviewing a local band—especially a largely DIY band like Asheville, North Carolina’s <strong><strong>Cam Girl</strong></strong>—comes with a few extra perks. Because of our proximity, I secured promo months in advance in the form of a sick translucent cyan vinyl <em>and</em> a digital mp3, and gleaned additional insight into how this record was made. Having that much more exposure and access to the band by the grace of locality helped contextualize exactly what <strong><strong>Cam Girl</strong></strong> aspire to be. In this case, the AVL trio<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/cam-girl-flesh-chrome-review/#fn-218401-1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">1</a> have a single-minded focus: to become a phenomenon. Hard at work in pursuit of this lofty standard, <strong><strong>Cam Girl</strong></strong> prepared a sophomore record, <em>Flesh &amp; Chrome</em>, that not only outstrips their debut, <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/cam-girl-untucked-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><em>Untucked</em></a>, but also marks a significant propulsion towards their ultimate goal.</p><p><strong><strong>Cam Girl</strong></strong> isn’t concerned with what musical box they may or may not fit, but rather with crafting unforgettable, addictive songs written specifically to infect your brain—permanently. To that end, <strong><strong>Cam Girl</strong></strong> pulled out all the stops in songwriting, performance, and production. <em>Flesh &amp; Chrome</em> builds around the infallible backbone of Kozy Kozette’s simple, but wildly effective guitar lines, exuberant riffcraft, and rich harmonies. Topping that rock-hard instrumental foundation, Lily Larceny’s vocal performance demonstrates a remarkable uptick in skillset, versatility, cadence, and potency from previous efforts. The rhythm section then sculpts heft and power, allowing <em>Flesh &amp; Chrome</em> access to a greater breadth of audiences. But that’s just the tip. In the same way that notable pop songwriters of the 80s used innuendo and sheer metaphors to subvert most public audiences’ tolerance for the risqué, <strong>Cam Girl</strong>’s lyrics do the inverse. Unabashedly sexual, confrontational, and unflinching in their simplicity and irreverence on the surface, these lyrics present a multifaceted and timely commentary. Instilling messages of empowerment and self-actualization; dispensing of arbitrarily dictated societal, gender, and sexual roles; and rebuking all forms of misogyny and gender discrimination/fetishization, <em>Flesh &amp; Chrome </em>nonetheless makes no sacrifice to irresistible, kinky fun, and therein lies its magic.</p><p></p><p>Whether it be the stadium-ready “Bubblegum Revolution,” the sassy “Girls Gotta Eat,” or the one-two-three-four-five punch that lights up an unstoppable run from “I Want Your Rock!” to the awesome self-titled closer, <em>Flesh &amp; Chrome</em> offers an endless supply of killer material and no filler across a tight 32 minutes. In the early stages of <em>Flesh &amp; Chrome</em>’s progression, familiar listeners might recognize a similar cocktail of <strong>Turbonegro</strong>/<strong>Blondie</strong> touchstones that <em>Untucked</em> showcased. However, hero anthems “Girls to the Top” and “Bubblegum Revolution” rouse the spirit higher with tighter, more focused writing and invigorating choruses. “Face the Facts” and “Stand Back” use that initial push to load in a rebellious <strong>Rise Against</strong> spirit with more impactful musical energy and lyrical candor than ever. And how can I forget the organ-soaked “Back Sabbath,” a whimsical bit of devilish levity that bisects the record with a summoning of a powerful ass demon for the expressed purpose of dealing for a bigger ass?<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/cam-girl-flesh-chrome-review/#fn-218401-2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">2</a></p><p></p><p>Whatever actually transpired during that “Back Sabbath” worked wonders for <strong><strong>Cam Girl</strong></strong>, because <em>Flesh &amp; Chrome</em>’s back half is <em>stunning</em>. Even factoring in the occasional—but thankfully brief—in-your-face spoken word verse<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/cam-girl-flesh-chrome-review/#fn-218401-3" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">3</a> in “I Want Your Rock!” and “Sugar Rush,” the songs burst with vitality and stick with fierce adhesion. Furthermore, bouncy synths bubbling in the background of these tracks provide a new instrumental element that doubles down on chipped tuneage through yet another chorus hero, “Ice Cream N’ Soda Pop.” Reminiscent of a much more adult <em>Wreck-It Ralph</em> OST, these new instrumental baubles complement Kozy’s increasingly metamorphic riffs, leads, and solos across all manner of references and inspirations. But, in no way do these novel excursions across the frets pull away from <strong><strong>Cam Girl</strong></strong>’s core sound or unmistakable identity. In fact, they reinforce and elevate it. This, in turn, sets up closing duo “Plastic Princess” and “Flesh &amp; Chrome” to gleam as stellar culminations of every songwriting development <strong>Cam Girl </strong>exhibits across <em>Flesh &amp; Chrome</em>. Boasting fun lyrics, brilliant guitar work,<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/cam-girl-flesh-chrome-review/#fn-218401-4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">4</a> and spine-tingling choruses featuring some of Lily’s finest exhibitions yet, these B-sides demand my undivided attention so raptly that I fantasize about listening to them again, even before they end.</p><p>There’s so much more about <em>Flesh &amp; Chrome</em> that I desperately want to highlight in greater detail. Lily’s bang-on Agnete Kirkevaag (<strong>Madder Mortem</strong>) vocal tone when she sings more melodic phrases; bassist Robbie Forbes’ throbbing low end counterpoint; Kozy’s sneaky <strong>Iron Maiden</strong> gallops, and her cool artwork and layout;<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/cam-girl-flesh-chrome-review/#fn-218401-5" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">5</a> Matt Langston’s and Jeremy SH Griffith’s punchy production;<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/cam-girl-flesh-chrome-review/#fn-218401-6" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">6</a> I could go on. And yet, it still feels like <strong><strong>Cam Girl</strong></strong> is only getting started. If their goal is to become a phenomenon, <em>Flesh &amp; Chrome</em> makes for one helluva launch!</p> <p><strong>Rating:</strong> Excellent!<br><strong>DR:</strong> 5 (Digital mp3) | <strong>Formats Reviewed:</strong> 320 kb/s mp3 | Physical Vinyl<br><strong>Label:</strong> Self Released<br><strong>Websites:</strong> <a href="http://camgirlband.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">camgirlband.bandcamp.com</a> | <a href="http://facebook.com/camgirlband" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">facebook.com/camgirlband</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide:</strong> June 27th, 2025</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/45/" target="_blank">#45</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/american-metal/" target="_blank">#AmericanMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/blondie/" target="_blank">#Blondie</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/cam-girl/" target="_blank">#CamGirl</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/flesh-chrome/" target="_blank">#FleshChrome</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/hard-rock/" target="_blank">#HardRock</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/heavy-metal/" target="_blank">#HeavyMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/iron-maiden/" target="_blank">#IronMaiden</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/jun25/" target="_blank">#Jun25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/madder-mortem/" target="_blank">#MadderMortem</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/melodic-metal/" target="_blank">#MelodicMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/pop-punk/" target="_blank">#PopPunk</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/punk/" target="_blank">#Punk</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/rise-against/" target="_blank">#RiseAgainst</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/self-released/" target="_blank">#SelfReleased</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/turbonegro/" target="_blank">#Turbonegro</a></p>
Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/thraeds-impermanence-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">THRÆDS – Impermanence Review</a></p><p><i>By Owlswald</i></p><p>Adding to my list of bands with irregular monikers, German progressive post-metal/rock group <strong>THRÆDS</strong> (pronounced “Threads”) is the latest to fall under the scrutiny of my wide-eyed gaze. Formed in 2019 as a solo project by guitarist Angelos Tzamtzis, <strong>THRÆDS</strong> has since grown into a multi-national five-piece.<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/thraeds-impermanence-review/#fn-217620-1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">1</a> Their 2021 <em>Akasha</em> EP garnered the attention of Octopus Rising—an imprint of Argonauta Records—which is now releasing their debut full-length, <em>Impermanence</em>. The promotional material for this Berlin-based quintet bills itself as a seamless blend of progressive post-metal alongside atmospheric rock, claiming to fuse the sounds of giants like<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/gojira-fortitude-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong> Gojira</strong></a>, <strong>Tool</strong>, and <strong>Porcupine Tree</strong> into a diverse and unique style. Call me cynical, but whenever descriptions throw about such high-caliber names, the reality seldom matches the hype. And, unfortunately, <strong>THRÆDS</strong> proves to be no exception.</p><p>A pervasive sense of familiarity permeates <em>Impermanence</em>’s forty-eight minutes. While “Devolve” delivers a half-time <em>L’Enfant Sauvage</em> stomp with <strong>Gojira</strong>’s trademark pitch shifts and tracks like “Einstein-Rosen Bridge” and “Clockworks” evoke some of the moody melancholia of <strong>Porcupine Tree</strong> or <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/katatonia-sky-void-of-stars-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Katatonia</strong></a>, <strong>THRÆDS</strong> ultimately leans too heavily on well-trodden modern rock crutches to convey their moods and textures. As a result, the material on <em>Impermanence</em> is largely standard and unremarkable, offering little in the way of presence or impact. Chuggy palm-muted guitar riffs, delay-heavy arpeggios and gallant distorted chord strumming drive <em>Impermanence</em> during its drawn-out instrumental sections. Celso Borralho’s vocals dither between solemn whines (“Sole Survivor”), gravelly Chester Bennington-esque frys (“Reflections”), and high, soulful croons (“Nothing Good to Say”). While these hint at Borralho’s considerable range, they generally also fall short of his full potential. Despite the self-produced effort registering a mighty DR 10 and Barnabás Mihály’s playful basslines providing some much-needed aptitude, <em>Impermanence</em> exhibits a vanilla disposition with little novelty or energy.</p><p></p><p><strong>THRÆDS</strong> relies on familiar modern rock clichés to drive their songwriting. Rock anthem “Reflections,” with its big, sing-along chorus and radio-ready polish is well-composed but employs repetitive chord progressions and melodic structures a myriad of modern rock groups have used a million times over. Similarly, “Sole Survivor” and “Timeless” lack novelty with formulaic compositions that contrast quiet, delay-saturated post-rock verses with heavier down-tuned choruses filled with garden-variety guitar riffs, foundational rock beats, and cornerstone vocal belting. Borralho frequently toys between his high and low registers, sounding unassured and whiny rather than passionate and introspective as his voice warbles above the melodies. His range and high register are his greatest strengths, yet he seldom leans into them with enough conviction to improve <strong>THRÆDS</strong>’ simplistic approach. Compounding matters is the sheer length of <em>Impermanence</em>’s songs as “Devolve,” “Timeless,” and “Reflections” all clear six minutes while closer “Story in Reverse” pushes eight, primarily to accommodate Alegros Gramma’s sax solo. Even the shorter “Einstein-Rosen Bridge” contributes to <em>Impermanence</em>’s sense of bloat, stretching thin ideas into wandering <strong>Maserati</strong>-like post-rock.</p><p></p><p>Predictably, <em>Impermanence</em>’s stronger moments appear when <strong>THRÆDS</strong> trim the fat and venture outside of well-trodden tropes. A prime example is the solemn “Nothing Good to Say,” where the quintet crafts a condensed, cohesive, and engaging offering with Borralho’s high, soulful croons floating above playful drum and bass grooves, all enveloped by an eerie, atmospheric feel. Mihály’s bass performance is noteworthy, driving a deep pocket with his rhythmic pulses while capably utilizing space with high-scale runs that explore the full range of his fretboard. Likewise, the chorus in “Story in Reverse” and the verse in “Einstein-Rosen Bridge” point to a more favorable stylistic direction, as <strong>THRÆDS</strong> momentarily recalls the grunge-saturated sounds of <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/yer-metal-is-oide-alice-in-chains-alice-in-chains/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Alice in Chains</strong></a> amid stretches of otherwise tedious material.</p><p>From start to finish, <em>Impermanence</em> struggles to find its footing, delivering an unremarkable collection of songs that is more often bland and forgettable than original and engaging. Displaying brief flashes of promise, <strong>THRÆDS</strong> defaults to the comfort of well-worn rock sounds, resulting in an overly long debut that lacks the confidence one would expect from a group aspiring to stand alongside the giants it name-drops. Ultimately, <em>Impermanence</em> rings hollow, forcing progressive and post-metal fans to look elsewhere for novelty and imagination.</p> <p><strong>Rating</strong>: Disappointing<br><strong>DR</strong>: 10 | <strong>Format Reviewed</strong>: 320 kbps mp3<br><strong>Label</strong>: <a href="https://www.argonautarecords.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Argonauta Records</a><br><strong>Websites</strong>: <a href="https://thraeds.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">thraeds.bandcamp.com</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/threads.project" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">facebook.com/threads.project | </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thraeds.band/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">instagram.com/thraeds.band/</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide</strong>: June 6, 2025</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/20/" target="_blank">#20</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/alice-in-chains/" target="_blank">#AliceInChains</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/argonauta-records/" target="_blank">#ArgonautaRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/german-metal/" target="_blank">#GermanMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/gojira/" target="_blank">#Gojira</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/hard-rock/" target="_blank">#HardRock</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/impermanence/" target="_blank">#impermanence</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/jun25/" target="_blank">#Jun25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/katatonia/" target="_blank">#Katatonia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/maserati/" target="_blank">#Maserati</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/melodic-metal/" target="_blank">#MelodicMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/octopus-rising-records/" target="_blank">#OctopusRisingRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/porcupine-tree/" target="_blank">#PorcupineTree</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/post-metal/" target="_blank">#PostMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/progressive-rock/" target="_blank">#ProgressiveRock</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/rock/" target="_blank">#Rock</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/thraeds/" target="_blank">#THRÆDS</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/tool/" target="_blank">#Tool</a></p>

Yes, that’s right, <span>Brood XIV spawned this year and is currently overwhelming my staff as they trudge through embuggened ducts to clear out the Filter of semi-precious metal. I bet it’s fucking loud in there…</span></p><p>…. eh I’m sure they are all fine. Just fine. Anyway, enjoy the spoils of our toils!</p> <p><strong><span>Kenstrosity’s Gloopy Grubber<br></span></strong></p><p><strong><strong>Acid Age </strong><strong>// <em>Perilous Compulsion </em></strong>[February 28th, 2025 – Self Released]</strong></p><p>Belfast’s wacky thrash conglomerate <strong>Acid Age</strong> came out of absolutely nowhere back in March, unleashing their fourth LP <em>Perilous Compulsion</em> and equipping it with one helluva van-worthy cover. This is some funky, bluesy, quasi-psychedelic thrash metal that pulls no punches. Riffs abound, bonkers songwriting pervades, immense groove agitates. From the onset, “Bikini Island” establishes <em>Perilous Compulsion</em> as a no-nonsense, balls-out affair which reminds me heavily of <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/voivod-synchro-anarchy-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Voivod</strong></a> and a simplified <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/flummox-southern-progress-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Flummox</strong></a> informed by <strong>Atheist</strong>’s progressive proclivities, and expanded by a touch of <strong>Pink Floyd</strong>’s nebulous jams. Of course, thrash remains <strong>Acid Age</strong>’s hero flavor, as choice cuts “State Your Business,” “Revenge for Sale,” and closing one-two punch “Rotten Tooth” and “Hamster Wheel” clearly demonstrate. While their fearless exploration of style and structure maintains a sky-high level of interest, it also introduces a couple of challenges. Firstly, this material can feel a bit disjointed at first, but focused spins reward the listener greatly as all of <em>Perilous Compulsion</em>’s moving parts start to mesh and move in unison. Secondly, <strong>Acid Age</strong> throws a spotlight on a few brilliant inclusions that, over time, I wish were more often utilized—namely, the delightfully bluesy harmonica solos on “Rotten Tooth.” Regardless, <strong>Acid Age</strong> put themselves on my map with <em>Perilous Compulsion</em>. I recommend you put them on yours, too!</p><p></p> <p><strong><span>Owlswald’s Desiccated Discoveries</span></strong></p><p><strong><strong><a href="https://verbian.bandcamp.com/album/casarder" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Verbian</a> // <em>Casarder</em> [March 21st, 2025 – Lost Future Records]</strong></strong></p><p>It’s unjust that Portuguese rockers <strong>Verbian</strong>—who have been producing quality post-rock since 2019’s <em>Jaez</em>—haven’t received the attention they deserve. Fusing elements of post-rock with metal, psychedelic, and stoner, <em>Casarder</em> is <strong>Verbian</strong>’s third full-length and the first with new drummer Guilherme Gonçalves. Taking the sounds and inspirations of 2020’s <em>Irrupção</em> and enriching it with new permutations and modulations, <em>Casarder</em>’s largely instrumental character rides punchy riffs and roiling grooves—à la <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/russian-circles-blood-year-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Russian Circles</strong></a> and <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/elder-omens-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Elder</strong></a>—to transmit its thought-provoking legitimacy. Dystopian and surreal séances, via echoing Korg synthscapes (“Pausa Entre Dias,” “Vozes da Ilha”) and celestial harmonies, permeate <em>Casarder</em>’s forty-three-minute runtime, translating Madalena Pinto’s striking <em>Aeon Flux</em>-esque cover art with precision. Ominous horn sections and crusty recurrent vocals (“Marcha do Vulto,” “Depois de Toda a Mudança”) by guitarist Vasco Reis and bassist Alexandre Silva underscore <strong>Verbian</strong>’s individuality in a crowded post-rock domain. Gonçalves’s drumming—with his intricate and enchanting hard rock and samba rhythms (“Nada Muda,” “Fruta Caída do Mar”)—adds a new dimension to <strong>Verbian</strong>’s sound, assuring my attention never falters. The group describes <em>Casarder</em> as communicating the “…insecurities of artistic expression and personal exposure when it comes to fearing being judged for something that is somewhat outside of what is done in each artist’s niche.” Indeed, <em>Casarder</em> reveals <strong>Verbian</strong> is unafraid to forge their own path, and the results are gripping.</p><p></p><p><strong><a href="https://symbioticgrowth.bandcamp.com/album/beyond-the-sleepless-aether-3" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Symbiotic Growth</a> // <em>Beyond the Sleepless Aether </em>[March 28th, 2025 – Self Released]</strong></p><p><em>Beyond the Sleepless Aether</em>, the sophomore effort by Ontario, Canada’s <strong>Symbiotic Growth</strong>, immediately caught my attention with its dreamy-looking cover. Building upon their 2020 self-titled debut, the Canadian trio hones epic and long-form progressive death metal soundscapes, narrating a quest for meaning across alternate realities in mostly lengthy, yet rewarding, tracks that blend technicality, atmosphere, and melody. The group frequently employs dynamic shifts, moving between raging brutality and serene shoegaze beauty (“Arid Trials and Barren Sands,” “The Sleepless Void”). This is achieved through complex and vengeful passages alongside atmospheric synth lines and softer piano interludes (“Sires of Boundless Sunset,” “Of Painted Skies and Dancing Lights”), cultivating an air of wonder, mystery, and ethereality that permeates much of <strong>Symbiotic Growth</strong>’s material. “The Architect of Annihilation” echoes the style of <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/ne-obliviscaris-exul-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Ne Obliviscaris</strong></a> with its blend of clean harmonies and harsh growls meshed with tremolo-picked arpeggiations and catchy hooks (the guitar solo even features a violin-like quality). “Lost in Fractured Reveries” evokes <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/in-mourning-the-bleeding-veil-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>In Mourning</strong></a> with its parallel synth and guitar lines giving way to devastating grooves that make it impossible not to headbang. Although some fine-tuning remains—the clean vocals could use some more weight and tracks like “Of Painted Skies and Dancing Lights” and “The Architect of Annihilation” overstay their welcome at times—<em>Beyond the Sleepless Aether</em> shows <strong>Symbiotic Growth</strong>’s burgeoning talent and signals the group is one to watch in progressive death metal.</p><p></p> <p><strong><span><strong>Dear Hollow’s Drudgery Sludgery Hoist<br></strong></span></strong></p><p><strong><a href="https://spiritbox.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Spiritbox</a> // <a href="https://spiritboxofficial.bandcamp.com/album/tsunami-sea" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><em>Tsunami Sea</em></a><i> </i>[March 7th, 2025 – <a href="https://palechord.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Pale Chord Records</a> | <a href="https://riserecords.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Rise Records</a>]</strong></p><p><strong></strong>From humble beginnings in a more artsy-fartsy djent post-<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/iwrestledabearonce-hail-mary-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Iwrestledabearonce</strong></a> world to becoming the darlings of Octane Radio, <strong>Spiritbox </strong>has seen quite the ascent. While it’s easy to look at their work and scoff at its radio-friendliness, sophomore full-length <em>Tsunami Sea </em>shows Courtney LaPlante and company sticking to their guns. Simultaneously more obscure and more radio-friendly in its selection of tracks, expect its signature blend of colossal riffs and ethereal melodies guided by LaPlante’s siren-then-sea serpent dichotomy of furious roars and haunting cleans. Yes, <strong>Spiritbox </strong>helms its attack with the radio singles (“Perfect Soul,”<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/stuck-in-the-filter-march-2025s-angry-misses/#fn-216699-1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">1</a> “Crystal Roses”) in layered soaring choruses and touches of hip-hop undergirded by fierce grooves, but the meat of <em>Tsunami Sea </em>finds the flexibility and patience in the skull-crushing brutality (“Soft Spine,” “No Loss, No Love”) and its more exploratory songwriting that amps layers of the ethereal and the hellish with catchy riffs and vocals alike (“Fata Morgana,” “A Haven of Two Faces”). It’s far from perfect, and its tendency towards radio will be divisive, but it shows <strong>Spiritbox </strong>firing on all cylinders.</p><p></p><p><strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/unfleshing/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Unfleshing</a> // <a href="https://unfleshing.bandcamp.com/album/violent-reason" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><em>Violent Reason </em></a>[March 28th, 2025 – Self Released]</strong></p><p>I am always tickled pink by blackened crust. It takes the crusty violence and propensity for filth and adds black metal’s signature sinister nature. <strong>Unfleshing </strong>is a young, unsigned blackened crust band from St. Louis, and with debut <em>Violent Reason, </em>you can expect a traditional punk-infused beatdown with a battered guitar tone and sinister vocals. However, more than many, the quartet offers a beatdown that feels as atmospheric as it is pummeling. Don’t get me wrong, you get your skull caved in like the poor guy on the cover with minute-long crust beatdowns (“Body Bag,” “From the Gutter”) and full-length smackdowns (“Knife in the Dark,” “Final Breath”), both styles complete with scathing grooves, squalid feedback, climactic solos and punishing blastbeats, atop a blackened roar dripping with hate. But amid the full-throttle assault, <strong>Unfleshing </strong>utilizes ominous black metal chord progressions and unsettling plucking to add a more dynamic feature to <em>Violent Reason</em> (“Cathedral Rust,” “One With the Mud”). The album never overstays, and while traditional, it’s a hell of a start for <strong>Unfleshing</strong>.</p><p></p><p><strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ghostsmokerband/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Ghostsmoker</a> // <a href="https://ghostsmokerau.bandcamp.com/album/inertia-cult-2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><em>Inertia Cult</em></a><i> </i>[March 21st, 2025 – <a href="https://www.artascatharsis.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Art as Catharsis Records</a>]</strong></p><p></p><p><strong>Ghostsmoker </strong>seems like the perfect stoner metal band name, but aside from the swampy guitar tone, there’s something much sinister lurking. Proffering a caustic blackened doom/sludge not unlike <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/thou-umbilical-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Thou</strong></a>, <strong>Wormphlegm</strong>, and <b>Sea Bastard</b>, the Melbourne group quartet devotes a crisp forty-two minutes to sprawling doom weighted by a crushing guitar tone that rivals <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/morast-fentanyl-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Morast</strong></a>‘s latest, and shrieked vocals straight from the latest church burning. Beyond what’s expected from this particular breed of devastation, <strong>Ghostsmoker </strong>infuses an evocative patience reminiscent of post-metal’s more sludgy offerings like <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/neurosis-fires-within-fires-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Neurosis</strong></a> or <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/pelican-nighttime-stories-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Pelican</strong></a>, lending a certain atmosphere and mood of dread and wilderness depicted on its cover. From the outright chugging attacks of churning aggression (“Elogium,” “Haven”) to the more experimental and thoughtful pieces (“Bodies to Shore,” instrumental closer “The Death of Solitude”), <em>Inertia Cult </em>largely feels like a journey through uncharted forests, with voices whispering from the trees. <strong>Ghostsmoker </strong>is something special.</p><p></p><p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span>GardensTale’s Paralyzed Spine</span></strong></p><p><strong><strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/spiineofficial/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Spiine</a> // <em><a href="https://spiine.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Tetraptych</a></em></strong> [March 27th, 2025 – Self Released]</strong></p><p>Is it still a supergroup release when half the lineup are session musicians? <strong>Spiine</strong> is made up of Sesca Scaarba (<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/virgin-black-requiem-pianissimo-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Virgin Black</strong></a>) and Xen (ex-<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/ne-obliviscaris-exul-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Ne Obliviscaris</strong></a>), but on debut <em>Tetraptych</em> they are joined by guests Waltteri Väyrynen (<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/opeth-the-last-will-and-testament-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Opeth</strong></a>) and Lena Abé (<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/my-dying-bride-a-mortal-binding-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>My Dying Bride</strong></a>). Usually, so much talent put into the same room does not yield great results. <em>Tetraptych </em>is one hell of an exception. A monstrous slab of crawling heaviness, <strong>Spiine</strong> lurches with abject despair through the mires of deathly funeral doom. Though I usually eschew this genre, my attention remains rapt through a variety of variations. The songwriting keeps the 4 tracks progressing, slow and steady builds, and the promise of momentary tempo changes working a two-pronged structural plan to buoy the majestic yet miserable riffs. “Oubliiette” is the best example here, going from galloping death-doom to Georgian choirs to a fantastic bridge where all the instrumentation hits only on the roared syllables. Xen’s unholy bellows flatten any objections I may have had, managing both thunder and deepest woe in the same notes. The subtle orchestration and occasional choir arrangements finish the package with regal grandeur, and the lush and warm production is the cherry on top. If you feel like drowning your sorrows with an hour of colossal doom, this is the album for you.</p><p></p> <p><strong><span><strong>Saunders’ Stenched Staples</strong></span></strong></p><p><strong><strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/adelegions" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Ade</a> // <em>Supplicium </em></strong>[March 14th, 2025 – <a href="https://timetokillrecords.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Time to Kill Records</a>]</strong></p><p>Sometimes unjustly pigeonholed as the Roman-inspired version of <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/nile-the-underworld-awaits-us-all-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Nile</strong></a>, the hugely underrated <strong>Ade</strong> have punched out a solid career of quality death metal releases since emerging roughly fifteen years ago, charting their own path.

Fifth album <em>Supplicium</em>, their first LP in six years, marks a low-key, welcome return. Exotic instrumentation and attention to history and storytelling are alive and well in the <strong>Ade</strong> camp, as is their penchant for punishing, unrelenting death, featuring a deftly curated mix of bombast, brutality, technical spark, and epic atmospheres. Edoardo Di Santo (<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/hideous-divinity-unextinct-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Hideous Divinity</strong></a>) joins a largely refreshed line-up, including a new bassist and second guitarist since their last album. Line-up changes aside, familiar <strong>Ade</strong> tools of harrowing ancient Roman tales and modern death destruction remain as consistently solid as always. Top-notch riffs, intricate arrangements, fluid tempo shifts, and explosive drumming highlight songs that frequently flex their flair for drama-fueled atmospheres, hellfire blasts, and burly grooves. The immense, multi-faceted “Burnt Before Gods,” exotic melodies and raw savagery of “Ad Beastias!,” spitfire intensity of “Vinum,” and epically charged throes of “From Fault to Disfigurement” highlight more solid returns from <strong>Ade</strong>.</p><p></p><p><strong><strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/mastersofreality/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Masters of Reality</a> // <em>The Archer </em></strong>[March 28th, 2025 – <a href="https://www.mascotlabelgroup.com/?srsltid=AfmBOor1Z3MS8cJ2oI199MdBMgESCzFb1oMoZWGDYXElqcs3lMW-YBmF" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Artone Label Group/Mascot Records</a>]</strong></p><p>Underappreciated desert rock pioneers and quirky stalwarts <strong>Masters of Reality</strong> returned from recording oblivion some fifteen-plus years since they last unleashed an LP. Led by the legendary Chris Goss and his collaborative counterparts across a career that first kicked off in the late ’80s, <strong>Masters of Reality</strong> return sounding inspired, wisened, and a little more chilled. Re-tinkering their familiar but ever-shifting sound, <strong>Masters of Reality</strong> incorporate woozy, bluesy laidback vibes featuring their oddball songwriting traits through a sedate, intriguing collection of new songs. <em>The Archer</em> showcases <strong>Masters of Reality</strong>’s longevity as seasoned, skilled songwriters, regardless of the shifting rock modes they explore. While perhaps lacking some of the energetic spark and earworm hooks of albums like <em>Sunrise on the Sufferbus</em> and <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/into-the-obscure-masters-of-reality-deep-in-the-hole/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><em>Deep in the Hole</em></a>, <em>The Archer</em> still marks a fine return outing. Goss’ signature voice is in fine form, and the bluesy, psych-drenched guitars, cushy basslines, ’60s and ’70s influences, and spacey vibes create a comforting haze. The delightfully dreamy, trippy “Chicken Little,” laidback hooks and old school charms of “I Had a Dream,” lively, quirky grooves of “Mr Tap n’ Go,” and moody, melancholic balladry of “Powder Man” highlight another diverse, strange brew from the veteran act.</p><p></p> <p><strong><span><strong>Tyme’s Unheard Annunciations</strong></span></strong></p><p><strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/doomsday.ca/?hl=en" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Doomsday</strong></a> // <em>Never Known Peace </em>[March 28th, 2025 – Creator-Destructor Records]</strong></p><p><span>March’s filter means spring is here, mostly, which is when I start searching for bands to populate my annual edition of Tyme’s Mowing Metal.

I know that some people say that they have a hard time finding that kind of bob and sway in extreme music. But with an act like Spain’s <strong>Crossed</strong>, whose every carved word and every skronked guitar noise follows an insatiable punky stride, groove lies in every moment of third full-length <em>Realismo Ausente</em>. Whether it’s on the classic beat of D (“Vaciar Un Corazón,” “Cuerpo Distorsionado”), the twanging drone of a screaming bend (“Monotonía de la lluvia en la Ventana”), or the <strong>Celtic Frost</strong>-ed hammer of a chord crush (“Catedral”), a calculated, urgent, and intoxicating cadence colors the grayscale attitude throughout. But just because <strong>Crossed</strong> can find a groove in any twisted mathy rhythm—early <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/converge-the-dusk-in-us-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Converge</strong></a> and <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/dillinger-escape-plan-dissociation-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Dillinger Escape Plan</strong></a> come to mind on quick cuts like “Cerrojo” and “Sentirse Solo”—doesn’t mean that their panic chord-loaded crescendos and close-outs can’t rip your head clean off in banging ecstasy. Easy listening and blackened hardcore can’t go hand-in-hand, but <strong>Crossed</strong> does their very best to make unintelligible, scathing screeches and ceiling-scraping feedback hissing palatable against crunchy punk builds and throbbing, warm bass grumbles. Likewise, <em>Realismo Ausente</em> stabs into a dejected body tales of loathing, fear, self-rejection, and defeated existence—nothing smiles in its urgent and apathetic crevices. But despite the lack of light at the end of the tunnel of <strong>Crossed</strong>’s horror-touched vision of impassioned hardcore, an analog warmth and human spirit trapped inside a writhing and pleading throat reveal a presence that’s still fighting. It’s the fight that counts. If you didn’t join the fight <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/stuck-in-the-filter-aprils-angry-misses/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">last time</a>, now’s as good a time as any.</p><p></p><p><strong><b>Nothing // <a href="https://nothingmetal.bandcamp.com/album/the-self-repair-manifesto" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><em>The Self Repair Manifesto</em></a></b><strong> [March 26th, 2025 – Self Released]</strong></strong></p><p>If you noticed a tree zombie heading steaming through its trepanned opening, then you too found the same initial draw I had to <em>The Self Repair Manifesto</em>. Nothing complex often can draw us to the things we desire, yet in <strong>Nothing</strong>’s particular attack of relentless, groove-based death metal, many nooks of additional interest exist. <em>The Self Repair Manifesto</em>’s tribal rhythm-stirred “Initiation,” in its bouncy play, does little to set up the double-kick pummel and snarling refrains that lurk in this brutal, Australian soundscape. The simple chiming cymbal-fluttering bass call-and-response of “Subterfuge,” the throat singing summoning of “The Shroud,” the immediate onslaught of “Abrogation”—all in under 30 minutes, an infectious and progressive experience unfolds. And never fear, living by the motto “<em>no clean singing</em>,”<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/stuck-in-the-filter-march-2025s-angry-misses/#fn-216699-3" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">3</a> <strong>Nothing</strong> has no intention of traveling the wandering and crooning path of an <strong>Opeth</strong> or <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/in-vain-solemn-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>In Vain</strong></a>. Rather, <strong>Nothing</strong> finds a hypnotic rhythmic presence both in fanciful kit play that stirs a foot shuffle and high-tempo stick abuse that urges bodies on bodies in the pit (“Subterfuge,” “The Shroud”), much in the same way you might hear in early <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/decapitated-anticult-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Decapitated</strong></a> or <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/hate-eternal-upon-desolate-sands-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Hate Eternal</strong></a> works. With flair of their own, though, and a mic near the mouth vessel of each member (yes, even the drummer!) to maintain a layered harsh intensity, <strong>Nothing</strong> serves a potent blend of death metal that is as jam-able as it is gym-able.

No new elements are shoehorned in aside from vaguely blackened ones, and there’s not the slightest effort to push the boundaries of the admittedly limited Swedeath sound. <em>The Eternal Sleep</em> sounds like the album that could have come between <strong>Entombed</strong>’s timeless debut and the <em>Clandestine</em> follow-up, and that’s not a bad place to be. It’s heavy, brutish, buzzing death metal with an OSDM edge, and it hits like a runaway 18-wheeler full of concrete and titanium rebar. One only needs to weather the shitstorm of opener “Denial of Clarity” to realize this is the deep water of the niche genre. It’s extremely heavy, face-melting death with more fuzz and buzz than your brain can process. Other cuts feel like a direct lift from <em>Left Hand Path</em> and/or <em>Clandestine</em> (“Tribute to Creation,”) and fetid <strong>Dismember</strong> tidbits creep in during “Pilgrimage to Utumno,” and these feel like olde friends showing up unexpectedly at the hometown watering hole. Swedeath is all about those ragged, jagged riffs, and they’re delivered in abundance over <em>The Eternal Sleep</em>, and despite the intrinsic lack of originality, <strong>Impurity</strong> pump enough steroids and Cialis into the genre archetypes to make the material endearing and engaging. Yes, you’ve heard this shit before. Now hear it again, chumbo!</p><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/acid-age/" target="_blank">#AcidAge</a> <a rel="nofollow
