Greylotus – Motherwort
Their sound is exploring the grey area between modern technical death metal and deathcore, and they’re also throwing in hints of djent and black metal, just to make the concoction of extremity as wild as it gets.

Wintersun – Time II
The music becomes a vehicle for imaginative escapism, taking the listener into a both sensory and symbolic trance, which, despite its otherworldly aesthetics, becomes brutally and viscerally real by the time the album is over.

Entheos – An End to Everything
Could this be the most emotionally relevant technical death metal release I’ve heard to date? I’m not sure, but it’s certainly close to the top.

Fleshgod Apocalypse – Opera
I know technical death metal is not for everyone, but beyond the death metal element, there’s a dimension of theater, poetry and drama, and a message of power and standing against all odds, that I think will inspire almost anyone.

Monochromatic Black – Predacious
It feels like they stripped down a lot of the sophisticated fluff, and almost voluntarily chose to make this EP a bit more messy and muscular.

Evulsion – Spiritual Putrefaction
Evulsion’s debut record, “Spiritual Putrefaction” has one job to do and it does it exceptionally well. It slaps!

Vale of Pnath – Between The Worlds of Life and Death
The barrage of blasting on the drums and running nature of the guitar riffs is technical enough to have the nerds satisfied, while the hostile, corrosive sound and evil chord progressions always keep the portals to hell open for those more ritualistically inclined.
Read More
The Ritual Aura – Heresiarch
They take their name seriously. This album is aimed to sound like a ritual, and to keep the listeners immersed and hypnotized.
Read More
Alkaloid – Numen
On top of the fact that it is excellently put together as a modern death metal album, “Numen” might also be one of the most diverse and multi-faceted extreme metal releases I’ve come across!

Tegmentum – Evolvement
Despite having sat through a bunch of technical death metal albums since the beginning of this year, I can easily say that Tegmentum dropped the most brutal album of 2023 so far. And it will be a very difficult one to top.

The Zenith Passage – Datalysium
As soon as I had sat through my first audition of the album, I knew it was gonna become a tech-death favourite.
Read More
Structural – Decrowned
Structural’s sophomore effort wastes no time and takes no prisoners. It is a relentless display of punchy and creative death metal with just enough variety to turn their craft into a maelstrom of sophisticated badassery!

Dawn of Ouroboros – Velvet Incandescence
The album sounds like a ritual that hooks you and then engulfs you entirely as if it taps into something primal and fundamental to life.
Read More
Demon King – Vesania
Demon King’s debut was an instant dose of satisfaction for me. And after sitting through a couple of streams of “Vesania”, the only thought process that I can expect went behind this one is “Let’s do it again… but MORE”.

Chaos over Cosmos – A Dream If Ever There Was One
This is the most extreme album that Chaos Over Cosmos has ever released.
Read More
Warforged – The Grove | Sundial
I feel like the band stayed true to the weird, ruthless concoction of sonic witchcraft and mad science that made their debut so savage, but they decided to take their listener’s risk of heart failure into account on this one.
Read More
Greylotus – Dawnfall
While I still struggle to take most of it seriously, I absolutely love hearing it. If you want everything you believe about the world to be proven wrong, be sure to spin “Dawnfall”.

Abstracted – Atma Conflux
This is one of the most impressive, gargantuan and multi-faceted prog death metal releases I’ve heard in recent years.
Read More
Inanimate Existence – The Masquerade
I think this band finds a way to make their music so mathematically precise and clinical that it starts losing credibility as being played by humans. And I’m not necessarily saying that in a bad way.
Read More
Arkaik – Labyrinth of Hungry Ghosts
This album is probably what death metal would sound like if it was composed by an A.I. with a keen understanding of feelings and dopamine triggers.
