“From the abyssal and blistering depths of Alabama and featuring members from Seraphic Entombment and Father Befouled, Ectovoid return with their new album In Unreality’s Coffin! An exhumation of death metal’s spectral essence and a relentless pulse of putrefaction, summoning shadows into eternal decay and entombing listeners in cavernous pummeling riffs!”

Infernal greetings to one and all on this fine Saturday. Once again I’ve assembled a playlist of especially impressive new songs from among those I heard over the last 24 hours. I hope you like them.
