Goro - Goro

Death as Brutal as its name! Goro is Ultra Heavy Super Mosh Core Death Metal! Glutinous guitars, cavernous bass lines, sonorous drums that don’t go a million to fucking nothing in a split second flat. Songs are tight and well executed. Proving that this band gives a shit about quality of there material-not that they corpse grind every 6 seconds. Ne...

Moker - Translating The Pain

...And yet another fine example of Belgium Brutality. Spewed forth from the ashes of Linchpin, Moker was created out of a desire to play heavier, sicker music.This is a debut full length you cant afford to miss out on. Quick, start-stop, galloping, drums, mosh worthy breakdowns, and excellent production only add to an already heavy recording. Moker...

T.E.R. - Sin Life Death

3 song demo that will kick your ass and have you begging for a second dose. T.E.R. play death metal with an Exhumed type of vocal style trade off. Deep Gutteral Vocals matched with high end skreching. Combine those vocal elements with heavy driving guitar work, quick paced drums, groovy headbanging breakdowns, and shering leads. All in all... 3 son...

Chthonic - A Decade On The Universe

Live Effort that commemorates this supreme being known as Chthonic.  All the way from Taiwan, they have come to show us the true meaning of emotion and meaning in music.  This is a group that you can not simply categorize as Black or Death Metal-it just simply is Metal.  Dead on precision, incredible production that puts you right in the front of t...

Enemy Ground - In Memory Of Them All

Stand and face the machine. Enemy Ground gives you 10 songs that define Hard Fucking Core. "In Memory Of Them All" is a testament to Hardened, Mega Mosh music. Bring out every once of bestiality from the forefathers Agnostic Front, and throwing superior moshable slamming breakdowns that will make Jamey Jasta raise an eyebrow. The sound of rage has...

Daemos - Surface

"Surface" is 3 songs of tight, brutal, off key riffing from this SoCal outfit. Alot of groove, alot of slam, bad ass!!! Imagine for 1 second that Lamb Of God sat down with Cephalic Carnage and started bouncing ideas around. This is an awesome release, nothing sounds quite like Daemons. This is a precursor of the devastation Daemons is about to let...
