“Iron Front are a young band fresh outta the savage wasteland of California. Their sound is a straightforward mix of hardcore, slam and brutal death, with an emphasis on the groove, not on noodly technicality. Their aim, from the outset, is to crush, not dazzle. Their debut, 2022’s Left Out to Rot, was as unpretentious as it was fun: a brutal little appetizer that promised more. That “more” is Hooked, and straightaway the cover will tell you everything you need to know.” Iron deficiency.

“Montreal’s Serpent Corpse have a pretty badass name and that’s a great place for a retro death act to start life. And in fact, these lo-fi scuzzbuckets have only just begun living, dropping their first demo in 2021. Blood Sabbath is their official debut and it’s a murky, scabby blend of classic Swedeath, early days Autopsy, grim doom-death, and crustpunk. If there was ever a recipe for success in the deathverse, that particular proprietary blend would seem a solid candidate.” From grave worm to Serpent Corpse.
