Diabolus in Muzaka Concise, well-written death metal that recalls early Florida death metal like Malevolent Creation but still keeps its own sound. Production is rather bass-heavy, making the kicks pummel on a proper stereo. The short length makes replays tempting and easy. This type of smartly written death metal in the classic vein helps keep the genre interesting without gimmicks. Favorite track: Impaling Sorrow.

Bart OSDM will always have a soft spot for me. This goes above and beyond the call. I saw someone describe this as if a tech death band wanted to play caveman type death metal. I couldn't agree more. Fans of earlier Malevolent Creation, Deicide and Immolation are going to really dig this. This might be my new favorite new album from 2024. Favorite track: Excised.

Dan Hébert Fans of early Malevolent Creation and Suffocation will find plenty to like with this album. Favorite track: Strangled by Hatred.

Erik Salazar The new Laceration pairs well with the new Skeletal Remains album from earlier this year. Death metal with hints of Thrash in the speedier sections (of which they're a ton). At a crisp 32 minutes, I Erode is huge step-up from this up-and-coming death metal band. Can't recommend this one enough! FFO Skeletal Remains, Cannibal Corpse and Malevolent Creation! Favorite track: Strangled by Hatred.

JDMP If you sickos are paying attention, the Spin keeps bringing in some of the best death metal happening right now. And this album will be no different. Give the song one listen and you’ll be snatching this record up, too. Or, if fortunate, you’ve listened to the band before and already know what’s in store for you before you even press play. This along with that recent Civerous record?

about

After the scorching ‘Demise’ LP in 2021, the Bay Area’s Laceration have joined the ranks of 20 Buck Spin for the release of 2nd album ‘I Erode’. Over the band’s lifetime, years of work and subtle refinement manifest now in Laceration’s most assured and viscious material to date.

Absolutely loaded with hallmarks of US Death Metal’s peak era, ‘I Erode’ vehemently explodes outta the gate with merciless riffs, savage tempos, tastefully fleshripping solos and the malevolent undercurrents of aggressive Death Thrash perfection. Striking an ideal balance of technical and straightforward, high speed and mid-paced breaks, and a concise, to the point attack packed with variety, ‘I Erode’ offers a purely addictive shot of real Death Metal adrenaline in a lineage that includes Demolition Hammer to Morgoth to Suffocation.

While perhaps invoking a sense of nostalgia, the fact is Laceration’s evolved confidence and commitment to a song’s unsparing execution erase any focus on era on the neck-breaking ‘I Erode’. The dedication to the Death Metal form’s timelessness and high standards for true acknowledgment mark Laceration’s output now more than ever.
