This is the latest EP from Spanish grindcore band Haemorrhage.
It’s been a while since 2017’s We Are the Gore, but now we have this new 19-minute EP from the gore-covered Haemorrhage. Containing four new songs and a Dismember cover, Opera Medica offers an enjoyable hit of deathgrind extremity for aficionados of the band to sink their bloodstained teeth into.

This is the third album from French deathgrinders Putrid Offal.
Wow, has it really been ten years since 2015’s Mature Necropsy? That’s depressing. Less depressing is that we have a new Putrid Offal album to ease the terrible passage of time. With 35 minutes of new material, Obliterated Life is a wrecking ball of deathgrind nastiness. Continue reading “Putrid Offal – Obliterated Life (Review)”
Lay Waste are a grindcore band from the US and this is their debut EP.
I’m going to try to listen to more grindcore this year. It’s a genre I love, but has been a bit thin on the ground for my tastes for the last few years. With that in mind, I randomly came across Lay Waste on Bandcamp, so here we are with my first new grind listening experience of 2025. Continue reading “Lay Waste – Savage Rebellion (Review)”
This is the debut album from New Zealand grindcore band RVKKVS.
Featuring members of Exordium Mors, RVKKVS play ferocious deathgrind, and across 17 minutes Antithesis of Prosperity rages and tears itself through the airwaves like a thing possessed. Continue reading “RVKKVS – Antithesis of Prosperity (Review)”
This is the debut album from US grindcore band Earthburner.
Brought to us by members of The Atlas Moth, Broken Hope, Canyon of the Skull, Gloryhole Guillotine, and Sanguisugabogg, (and featuring guests from Immolation and Napalm Death), Earthburner deliver a fearsome deathgrind assault. Permanent Dawn is 21 minutes of grinding aggression that unexpectedly culminates in a Corrosion of Conformity cover. Continue reading “Earthburner – Permanent Dawn (Review)”
This is the third album from Finnish death metallers Concrete Winds.
Concrete Winds is a 25-minute monstrosity that bleeds violence from every infected pore. It’s abrasive and hateful, yet carries with it more depth and substance than you’d probably expect; Concrete Winds seem to know what they’re doing. Continue reading “Concrete Winds – Concrete Winds (Review)”
This is the debut album from German grindcore band Feind.
I often think of grindcore as one of my favourite genres, yet it’s one that I rarely get to encounter quality new bands. This is why, when I become aware of something like Ambulante Hirnamputation, I had to make sure I didn’t miss out on it. It’s 17 tracks, with a duration of only 13 minutes, and it absolutely rips the opposition to shreds. Continue reading “Feind – Ambulante Hirnamputation (Review)”
This is the debut album from US one-woman black/death metal band Gun Girl.
What’s this? Another project by the same artist that brought us the amazing Lust Hag? Sign me up! Vengeant Siege of Unholy Divinity is 24 minutes of ugliness and mayhem. It’s harsh and unforgiving, and just wants to destroy. Continue reading “Gun Girl – Vengeant Siege of Unholy Divinity (Review)”
Pestilent Death are a death metal band from the US and this is their latest EP.
It’s been a while since the putrid death metal assault of 2019’s Chapters of Depravity, but now Pestilent Death have waded into the fray once more. This is primal underground death metal, in all of its disgusting glory. Continue reading “Pestilent Death – Pathways to Infinite Malignity (Review)”
This is the latest EP from US deathgrinders Sulaco.
I’ve enjoyed following Sulaco over the years – 2011’s Build & Burn, 2018’s The Prize, and 2020’s The Privilege – so Black Cloud is most welcome here at Wonderbox Metal. Containing two songs, and with a duration of 8 minutes, there may not be much material here, but this is about quality, not quantity. Continue reading “Sulaco – Black Cloud (Review)”
