I’ve been eagerly following each new release from this Brazilian death metal band for some time, and Decay’s Beholder does not disappoint. This time around, the band found a home with Canadian startup label Hammerdown Records, but that move strangely made their music harder to find. That aside, Decay’s Beholder shows more progress and experimentation than any of Krig’s previous efforts. The title cut features some of the fastest drumming ever heard, and there is some guitar work here that would do Tourniquet proud. Krig changes their formula often, keeping things fresh and heavy throughout. This young band from Brazil is doing great things.

Overflowing with Wrath
Dempsey Mills is the brains behind Vials of Wrath, an atmospheric solo project rooted in Nordic inspiration, historic genre, and a dichotomy of peace and tension that underlies the heaviness of the music. Just don't call it unblack.

Droning On
The world came to a halt in 2020, but London-based Drones trudged on, giving a voice to the hurt that circulates with (or without) a pandemic: "You shouldn’t underestimate the power of writing things down or literally speaking them out loud, which I’m learning. I’m glad I made these songs, no matter how personal they are."
