As previously expressed in these pages, the concept behind the new Encoffination record is “the glorification of death: an offering to the embodiment of death’s creation, and to sing the wretched hymns of death’s omnipresence, to kneel to death’s crown as we all shall fall under death’s eventual grasp…If the last record were a tool…
Cemetery picnickers Encoffination rise again next month with their third full-length album, called III – Hear Me, O’ Death (Sing Thou Wretched Choirs). Says vocalist/string-scather Ghoat of the forthcoming set of grueling, buzzing doom: “The concept of this record is the glorification of death: an offering to the embodiment of death’s creation, and to sing the…

Death metal blasphemers Father Befouled summon fresh hell on their sinister new single, “Unheavenly Catechesis.”

On this week’s Demo:listen we hear some shit we’ll never un-hear from Atlanta’s Cryptorchidism.

Every Friday (or, um, Monday), Waldo the African Grey Parrot, frontbird of thrash-grind immortals Hatebeak, will get you caught up on the week’s latest “extreme” releases.
