Brutal Bandcamp: Interesting New and Upcoming Releases #3

I haven't done much deep-web trawling of new and upcoming releases for quite a while, so I dedicated some time to scouring Bandcamp, Soundcloud, Twitter, Facebook and all other bastions of extreme metal to present some interesting new and upcoming releases.

Altarage

What toxic chemical has been secretly drained into the Spanish waters producing such dense death-metal? . Like Wormed, Altarage are a gargantuan and oppressively-heavy: it's planets colliding, incessant pounding, monsters emerging dripping acid from the deeps. Similar in ways to earlier Portal. An assault on the ears. Nihil, their debut full-length, is released on the 26th of February. Or if you want your brain mushed from the force of their sound you can listen to their album at cvlt nation, link here

The Finish Line is the upcoming second album by Finnish band Solacide, set for release on the 28th of Februray. Their sound is a sort of progressive-melodic-tech adorned black-metal with equal moments of brutal intensity and melancholic melody.  There's a good mix of styles here that interplay nicely. Mixed with clean vocals too that initially brough to mind an Enslaved/Borknagar/Strapping Young Lad hybrid. There are interesting guitar lines and moments crammed in to the record. The album is being streamed in full here

Krater

Krater have a blackened-death sound, mixing heaviness with sudden ambient and choral layerings. It's a really interesting and well-done sound. Riffs are not overly complex yet they maintain a viciousness and an intensity that some bands neglect. Urere is the German bands third full-length, scheduled for release on the 26th.

Really nice abrasive and  riff-based black-metal from Belgium. Good riffs, evil vocals and evil atmosphere - what more could you want from black-metal? No pretense, no showing off, it's the music and nothing else. Their upcoming 3 track EP contains two original songs and a cover of Mayhem's 'Pagan Fears'. Worth playing loud if you want to frighten off vvimps.

Grit.  Gritty production for in-your-face death-metal: riffs galore, churning sound. mud and flame and lightening and guns and blasts and death...everywhere. Begrime Exemious's sound is a monstrous and grotesque thrashy-death. The Canadian bands third album is scheduled for release on the 4th of March.
