Exhumed - Slaughtercult - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Exhumed hit the blood-soaked road with their new album, Red Asphalt! The masters of InchGoreInch Metal rev up and prepare one of 2026's most frenetic, unhinged slabs of sonic obliteration. InchWe're very stoked to be back in your ear-holes with Red Asphalt. Our recent albums have taken you with us through the graveyards and operating theaters of 19th century Scotland, the horror aisles of the video rental stores of our youths, and through the band's history itself.Inch

2022 from enigmatic Canadian prog-death metal unit Black Death Cult. Diaspora is the follow-up to 2019's Devil's Paradise. With Diaspora, Black Death Cult traverse even further into the hidden crevices of the Archaeaeon through six bizarre audial abnormalities of death metal strangeness and perplexity.
