5th album from 2025 by these Czech veterans and another strong demonstration of PIGSTY's ability to reinvent themselves while preserving the unique identity that has made them one of the most distinctive acts in the European extreme scene. With a career spanning back to the late 1990s, the band continues to move beyond the traditional boundaries of Goregrind, embracing a broader and more ambitious musical vision.
Musically, "Pignation" blends Death/ Grind, Goregrind and Grindcore with an unexpected emphasis on atmosphere, arrangements and conceptual themes inspired by science fiction and fantastical worlds. While retaining the speed, blast beats and trademark humor that have always characterized the band, the album reveals a more sophisticated songwriting approach than many of their earlier releases, highlighting a significant evolution without sacrificing their extreme roots.
Recommended for fans of: SPASM, ROMPEPROP, BIRDFLESH, EXHUMED.

3rd album from 2025 by this notorious Philadelphia-based band and another display of diseased, intense, chaotic and twisted Death Metal. Remaining completely faithful to the identity established on previous releases, PISSGRAVE continues to explore the darkest and most rotten corners of the genre, pushing its sound into even more extreme and disturbing territory.
"Malignant Worthlessness" combines abrasive riffing, complex song structures, crushing rhythms and an oppressive atmosphere rooted in the sickest forms of underground Death Metal. Particularly striking is Tim Mellon's utterly bizarre and deranged vocal performance, which gives the album a unique character. Raw, violent and intentionally unsettling, this release further confirms PISSGRAVE as one of the most extreme bands in modern Death Metal.

Debut EP from 2025 by this young Finnish Death Metal band from Helsinki. Formed in 2024 by musicians active in the local underground scene, PLAGUE VESSEL introduces itself with four lengthy tracks built around an exceptionally heavy, dark and oppressive approach, favouring atmosphere and weight over constant speed.
Its sound blends cavernous Death Metal with Doom/ Death elements, creating crushing compositions filled with monolithic riffs, deep growls and a suffocating sense of decay. Recorded in an analog environment, the EP stands out for its immense heaviness and its ability to channel both the filthiest side of old-school Death Metal and the darkest, most funereal corners of the genre.
Recommended for fans of: SPECTRAL VOICE, AUTOPSY, UNDERGANG and CIANIDE.
