Combining angry and furious death metal and grindcore, I, Cursed, from the Pori / Ulvila area, is a brutal dredging of Ville-Veikko Laaksonen and Eero Haula, known from Atlases, Marto and Oceanwake, among others, which is fed to the Finnish metal scene in an atonal coldness.

I, Cursed’s music is a mix of something old and familiar, the HM-2 sound of Swedish grind, and somewhat more modern and crushing production. The line-up of the band in July 2024 was completed by guitarist Nico Brander from Marto and drummer Arttu Leppänen from Atlases and Marto. FFO Coldworker, Gadget, Nasum & Rotten Sound.

Posted in Death Metal, grindcore, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , , on July 10, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

“March of the Ravenous Dead” Now Streaming

PUSTULANT FLESH is about to make the sewer seem scenic with their first major release – Gurgling Pustulence. This raw and rotten debut drops August 8th, via Extremely Rotten Productions.

Formed in 2022 and strengthened with an additional guitarist in 2024, this Copenhagen-based death grind outfit delivers a sickening and uncompromising sound live. Raw, rotten, and relentlessly filthy, Gurgling Pustulence is an auditory dissection with clear roots in classic grind and death metal, ranging from Blood Duster to Exhumed and Carcass.

The band has unleashed the first single off of Gurgling Pustulence, a ravenous cadaver march titled “March of the Ravenous Dead.” Stream this brutal procession of blast beats, flesh-eating riffs, and cemetery atmosphere now at: pustulant-flesh.bandcamp.com/album/gurgling-pustulence

Track-listing:
1) Beyond Lobotomy
2) Cadaver Creation
3) March of the Ravenous Dead
4) Dødsangst
5) A Single Muscle Twitches as I Wrest my Blade from your Gut to your Throat
and Leave you Dying, Helpless and Alone
6) Carrion Offspring
7) Gurgling Pustulence

The EP was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Benjamin “Polle” Radtleff at Radtleff Recordings, who captured the band’s raw and putrid expression with sharp precision and maximum foulness.

PUSTULANT FLESH:
Mike Dalsgaard – guitar & vocals
Daniel Bror Ditlevsen – guitar
Peter Jacobsen – bass & vocals
Filip Dursun – drums

Gurgling Pustulence will be released on cassette, CD, and vinyl in three different color variants, marking a putrid new chapter in Danish death metal.

This is not just a debut, it’s a declaration. A vile, slimy, and violent introduction to PUSTULANT FLESH and the decay they bring with them.

NEFAS – Bring Psycosmic Death-Grind on Debut EP, Oblation ov Obliteration

Posted in Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on June 16, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Prepare for an onslaught of psycosmic deathgrind! NEFAS, an American cross-country collaboration, bring exactly that on debut EP, Oblation ov Obliteration! Featuring members of Cryptic Gallbladder Splatter, Bedlam of Cacophony, Teeth, and Wax People, the band is primed and ready to release the EP on June 27.

The EP’s first single, “Spiral Degradation,” is available now. Click below to stream on your platform of choice.

https://linktr.ee/nefasband

Pre-order:

nefas.bandcamp.com/album/oblation-ov-obliteration

With seasoned experience across the technical, dissonant, and mathematical landscapes of metal, the band’s sonic statement of malicious intent, Oblation ov Obliteration, is a unique offering composed of churning death metal inspired riffs; ever shifting grooves; monstrous howls, shrieks, and yells; and the sonic representations of the undoing of reality.

FFO: Earlier works of Cephalic Carnage, Intronaut, and Gojira.

Line-up:

Erik Burkhead-Fernandez – Vocals
Rusty Kennedy – Bass
Rajan Davis – Guitar
Alejandro Aranda – Drums

“With NEFAS, Rajan Davis and crew have crafted an eclectic array of both musical and vocal approaches, that push the boundaries of creativity and extremity further than most new bands these days; while still remaining at all times challenging, interesting and memorable. I’m super glad that Rajan finally has a proper, personal showcase of the impressive guitar/bass playing that earned him a spot playing live bass for GIGAN! Definitely listen to NEFAS as soon as ya can and enjoy!”

– Eric Hersemann (GIGAN)

Track Listing:

1. Xenomorphic

2. Spiral Degradation

3. Mindstream Transference

Credits:

Produced, engineered, and edited by Samur Khouja at Seahorse Sound Studios in Los Angeles, California.

Mixed and mastered by Erol Ulug at Bright Lights Studio.

Tales From The Entrails: A Necrology, the new EP from San Francisco-based gore dealers CARTILAGE, is out today and streaming everywhere through Everlasting Spew Records.

The dead may rest but the grind goes on. CARTILAGE is serving up another frenzied feast with Tales From The Entrails: A Necrology. The blastmasters took their studio operations to home base, enlisting Scott Evans (Kowloon Walled City, Ghoul, Thrice) for recording and mixing duties, while the genre’s perennial grindfather Leon del Muerte (Impaled, Exhumed, Nails) handled mastering, the record then completed with art by Jason V Roberts and photos by Kei Mowry.

The Bay Area gore titans continue to spill their guts across the land but with new tools in their trade: twisting harmonies and cinematic set-pieces now compliment CARTILAGE’s arsenal of blistering blasts, ripcord riffs, and deranged shrieks fans know to expect. Tales From The Entrails: A Necrology offers the biggest color palette on a CARTILAGE release to date. Now with even more shades of red.

Bathe in the gore of CARTILAGE’s Tales From The Entrails: A Necrology everywhere including Bandcamp HERE and YouTube HERE.

Tales From The Entrails: A Necrology is now available on digital, CD, MC formats at the Everlasting Spew webshop HERE and Bandcamp HERE. A vinyl pressing is due this Summer. Also watch the “Globs Of Glimmering Gore” video HERE and “Frothed Vomit Slosh” playthrough HERE

SCALPEL – Added To Cambridge, Mass. Date of MORBID ANGEL Tour

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, deathgrind, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , , on October 9, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

“…bludgeoning…like a ten-ton hammer.” – DeadRhetoric.com 

Boston Death Metal force SCALPEL will provide support for MORBID ANGEL on the Cambridge, Mass. date of their 20th Anniversary of Covenant US Tour. The show is set to take place on November 10 at Middle East Downstairs. ABNORMALITY will also be appearing on the bill.

Tickets are available directly through SCALPEL at www.scalpel.bigcartel.com.

SCALPEL’s debut full-length, Sorrow and Skin, is out now via Sevared Records and available on Amazon, iTunes and other digital retailers. Physical copies coming soon.

The band recently teamed up with the folks at DeathMetal.org for the premier of album track The Black Juices. Stream the tune at this location.

Death Metal is a visceral art that is dependent upon the extreme dedication of its loyal fans. SCALPEL has no other purpose than to deliver a version of this art to those same fans whose lives have been claimed by the likes of SUFFOCATION, CARCASS, and DEATH. It is in this vein that SCALPEL constructs its own brutal dirges, devoid of genre restriction and with an eagerness to explore the darker realms of music. The band is rooted firmly in the old school aesthetic, vigilant to revive the gnarly riffage and macabre lyrical content of so many vicious death metal acts. SCALPEL creates its own art to be maddening and precise, to fulfill the connotations of its name.
