Initial Descent: February 12 – 18, 2023

Hellripper
Hellripper

Just when you thought it was safe to cozy up to your favorite album from last week, we’re back with MORE new releases. Speaking of, what did you find from last week that gets you all oozy inside? We’d love to hear what you found and what we may have missed so drop those in the comments and let us know. Or not. Anyway, speed freaks Hellripper return with another album full of fire, brimstone, and venom which means you probably need to check it out. Elsewhere, Tithe gift us a love letter to all things death, black, and grind on their sophomore outing (consider it a Valentine’s kind of deal), and a band I haven’t heard from in a while, Man Must Die, drop tech death like it’s hot. As usual, we’re nowhere near done as there’s several more in the list that follows so get to copy / pasting and we’ll see you here throughout the week.
