Release of the Week

Usually when it comes to a release of the week post I pick one album or EP that has been a real standout for me personally and shine a spotlight on it. This week, as those who follow me on social media will know, I’ve had a great time spinning a bunch of new death metal releases that came out on 06/06/2025. Therefore I’m declaring death metal to be genre of the week and listing a bunch of good releases from that sphere.

Sorry if I’ve bored you with these albums already online but I’m putting it here for posterity and if you haven’t heard them and are feeling a death metal vibe, then hopefully you find something you like. I’ll include Bandcamp links where possible.

Hails!

Gruesome - Silent Echoes

This one is just really solid Death worship and if that’s done well, it’s always gonna get a thumbs up from me.

Bear Mace - Slaves of the Wolf

This one is a good groovy bit of death metal fun. Solid, no nonsense band your head stuff.

Dissonant Seepage - Dystopian Putrescence

Here we have an album and band that likes to really plummet to the depths of darkness and extremity.

Putrescent - Darkness Embraced

This one is for all your fans of old school death metal!

Refusal - Venomous Human Concept

Sonic chaos out of Finland.

Ophiolatry - Serpent’s Verdict

Third full length from Brazil’s purveyors of brutal death metal.
