Endseeker - Coffin Born
The good men of Endseeker call it quits, however released an EP for a proper goodbye.
I always found the music very entertaining. From my point of view it's rooted in Swedish DM (Entombed), but they added their unique touch to it.
And they do crazy cover versions. 🙂
Sometimes my brain stubbornly suggests I dig deep in the crates for an old song I haven't listened to in years. These days it was "Reality - When you die" by GOREFEST.
A brooding, dynamic, versatile and for the time it was recorded a bit unusual death metal piece by this great Dutch group.

Khemmis - Invocation of the Dreamer
The opener of the coming album. Sounds promising to me - kind of a more Heavy Metal version of While Heaven Wept.

Elder - Through Zero
The orange vinyl gatefold was delivered today, very nicely done with a etched side D.
The music is a very melodic mix of prog metal and krautrock. There are also vibes of the current Deftones album sometimes (in Capture/Release).
The six track album's hit IMO is the title track, which you can find here: https://tidal.com/track/518329889/u
Great immersive record that works well on headphones, but also on speakers as the guitars are always present.

Lunar Shadow - The Pall of a past World
I really like the opener, however the whole album is a truly immersive journey. Epic metal with a touch of Maiden and Trouble. Melancholic and playful. Great record!
A really valuable contribution to the current wave of more traditional Heavy Metal. The music is subtle with only occasional really heavy or fast parts. But it never feels "too little".

If you're in the market for a veritable thrash hit for the weekend look no further. Try Havok's D. O. A. from the album Time is Up.
The second part of this banger is a nod to the legendary Demolition Hammer and really does the job well.

Exodus - Goliath
The new record by Exodus. Still they have the best guitar sound in thrash metal in my opinion.
However Exodus have done better than this collection of new songs. IMO it's a solid recording but it misses the last bit of spicyness. There's just one step missing to insanity. And this insanity is what makes brilliant Exodus albums special to me.
Maybe it's because Zetro left once again?
Anacrusis - Screams and Whispers
Blast from the past by this vastly underrated band. Delicate and sturdy progressive thrash metal, if that is a suitable description to you.
There are several great songs on this album, but 'Grateful' quite sums it up.

Undertow - These Boots are made for Stalking
These guys evolved from being hardly
distinguishable Crowbar sound-a-likes. Nowadays they deliver a fine blend of sludge, groove, hardcore and melody with good lyrics.
Melvins & Napalm Death - Tossing Coins into the Fountain of Fuck
Slightly bizarre, however good.
Obscura - A Sonication
The newest album of this exceptional Progressive Death Metal band/project recurs to more compact songs than on the former records. Also the overall approach is more melodic.
However with “Sun Eater” you can also find brutally. But IMO it feels a bit out of place on this album.
All songs are great and it is hard to pick a favourite. But I choose “Stardust” https://tidal.com/track/396369829/u

Panzerfaust - The Suns of Perdition Chapter IV
A very dense recording which sparks apocalyptic feelings in me. I first learned about the band when they supported Kanonenfieber, so I’m rather late to the party.
The music is some kind of Black Metal, but not industry standard. To me it feels more like Hell Ambient. I very much dig the arrangement with the two singers, one gnarling, one growling.

@tatann you are right. But that may change in the future. A new album is coming out in September, I think.
@serpineslair By the way - I just read an interview with Angelripper. He said he plans to retire. No more concerts, no further plans for Sodom.
@Myr @HopeForTheFuture mine is Epidemic of Violence 💪🏻
