Ultra-brutal Botch-meets-Hellchild-sounding (death) metalcore out of Iceland.

Skitzo, "Progressive Psychosis," from Progressive Psychosis (1990; reissued by Divebomb, 2019)

Mandatory early-'90s tech-thrash that should've garnered a reputation as a more aggressive successor to the likes of Realm or Toxik.

Rancorous, “Stealth Dominion,” from Stealth Dominion (Self-Released, 2019)

Imagine, perhaps, if Angelcorpse leaned more Infest than Morbid Angel.

The Northern Skulls, "8.6.45" (Miltown Cover, 2018)
