Mold Bunny blast through 15 tracks of deathgrind/powerviolence chaos on (H)are you afraid of the dark?. The entire album clocks in under 20 minutes with rabbit and horror movie-themed track titles like "Hopmare on Elm Street" and "The Texas Rabbit Massacre." Mixing slamming death metal with grindcore intensity and powerviolence unpredictability, the band delivers brutal, relentless aggression with a tongue-in-cheek horror aesthetic.

Mold Bunny - (H)are you afraid of the dark?
Crucial Rip, Dahmed- Desire To Disembowel Split EP (2017)
Genre: Slam, Brutal Death Metal
Label: Independent
Length: 17"
On this brand new split EP, we are treated to two of the best upcoming and coming brutal acts. Both bands go straight for the throat and don't falter from the opening riffs to the brutal closer. Dahmed takes the first half of the EP.
Right from the gate you are treated to what I think is the most aggressive bass tone I have heard on a slam record. The rhythms are fresh and violent and definitely have a certain kind of beat down feel which really pays off.
Richmond's Crucial Rip takes the second half. Again, heavy and brutal right for the jugular. The guitar and drum work is instantly in the forefront. Some killer solos and having a much more traditional death metal sound to them makes for a great contrast to the first half of the EP and keeps you engaged.
This record will definitely satisfy those looking for Slam or some Death Metal with it's great songwriting and great production.

HEISENBERG- THE EMPIRE BUSINESS (2017)
Genre: Death Metal, Slam
Date: 2017
Label: Unsigned
Engineered by Suffocation's Derek Boyer and introducing legendary Death Metal percussionist Kevin Talley; Breaking Bad themed slam band HEISENBERG return with their second LP.
"The Empire Business" lets you know right from the gate with a dome-crushing intro that leaps right into super pissed off Unique Leader era mid tempo punishment. These guys keep the energy up across seven brutal tracks without feeling stagnant or repetitive. Kevin Talley absolutely murders the kit, which is obviously to be expected.
Great production, Songwriting, Killer vocal performance (with some soul to it, so rare in this genre) and a fucking great bass tone really make this stand out for me.
Definitely not just for fans of slam, but I think most DM listeners will find this to be a very rewarding listen.
