(Andy Synn presents some meaty Death Metal from an up-and-coming new band)
Well, I think it’s safe to say that 2026 is fully under way now and, while the year – in my opinion at least – has yet to produce an obvious early stand-out, there’s definitely been a bunch of good-to-great records already released, which bodes well for next 11 months or so.
Indeed, just by taking a quick glance at what’s coming up/coming out in the next few months (including a few extremely promising promos currently sitting in our inbox) I can tell you that there’s a lot to look forward to, and that’s without even taking into account whatever unexpected comebacks, surprise releases, brand-new debuts… and whatever other unnanounced albums that are yet to make an appearance.
Our plan, of course, is to cover as many of them as possible – though I’m sure there’ll be a vast array of albums which we’re simply not able to dedicate enough time to – and so, in that spirit, I thought I’d pen a few words about the recently-released self-titled debut from Kansas City crush-mongers Tombseeker.
