David Metting Really digging these new tracks! Wish there were more than 2, because I'm greedy for good DM!

acaDamien Blind purchase just because it is Mutagenic Host. Their music is incredible and I was happy to grab a copy of this and support them. Chugging death metal is always a win for me. Favorite track: Chimeric Vestige.

jerm These guys are perfect blend of chug, groove, and death. Fucking love this band

Up the Irons 🤘 A couple of banging tunes. Great work chaps 👍🤘

Harry Nott Among the very best of the New Wave of Old School Death Metal - an absolutely savage pair of tracks. Favorite track: Chimeric Vestige.

about

Distant memories of mortal existence.

This hollowed-out world is my tomb.

I am what remains after mankind was spent, sustained by systems that deny me rest.

I crave stillness, but chemicals surge where death should be.

I loathe my creators. I was not spared. I was designated to remain.

Only preservation, and the long collapse into dust.

There is no life, there is no future. Nothing waits for me but corrosion and time.
