- Brutalism - Solace in Absurdity (USA-ID)
- Burn Down Eden - Dismal [EP] (Germany)
- Gorgasm - Sadichist [EP] (USA-IL) (way on the brutal side for me, but cool to see these guys active again)
- Hour of Penance - Devotion (Italy) (!!!)
- Ingested - The Tide of Death and Fractured Dreams (UK-ENG) (used to be slamming deathcore - idk what to call them now, but I like this release a lot better than the last couple)
- Jet Engine Dragons - Ronin (USA-GA) (kinda prog/groove, but solid)
- Kvadrat - The Horrible Dissonance of Oblivion (Greece) (blackened/dissonant)
- Laccolith - Death Incarnate (Netherlands) (pretty different sound than their debut EP)
- Monastery Dead - Ego Sum Dolor (Russia) (not that tech, but pretty good)
- Orecus - Dreadnought (Sweden) (melo/groove)
- Protosequence - Bestiary (CAN-AB)
Ha, that is 100% what I did, oops. “Gorgasm, now there’s a name I haven’t heard in forever.”
