Ripped to Shreds with a Brand New Demo: Maniacal Grindcore-Tinged Death Metal Ready to Fuel the Insane!

Ripped to Shreds, everyone’s favourite Bay Area death/doom/grind project (a self-proclaimed title – I’d argue about the doom part), released a brand new demo back in March. Eight Immortals Feast contains two new songs and an Insect Warfare cover, and going off a handful of listens, Andrew Lee seems to have expanded upon his established style – and for the better.

Synths and Sodomy: A Look into Grave Dust’s Debut Demo

Grave Dust has recently released a first sampling of their sound. From the front cover to the last drum hit, Pale Hand oozes raw old-school-death-metal brutality.
