"HIDDEN is the 10th album of Ufomammut and it marks a shift in the band's musical composition, aiming for a more intense and heavy sound, and it’s the third release featuring Levre as the band’s new drummer.
The title, HIDDEN, reflects the concept of the presence of everything in our existence and the ability to bring to light what lies within us. With HIDDEN, Ufomammut delves into a sonic journey that traverses vast expanses of space and time. From the crushing heaviness to the hauntingly melodies, from the textured compositions to the otherworldly atmospheres, HIDDEN testify the neverending evolution of Ufomammut and their mastery of creating immersive sonic experiences: a fitting celebration of their 25 years of sonic exploration and experimentation."

In March 2023, Death Whore decided to remix and remaster "Total Teutonic Torso" EP, as the "Definitive Version" :
"We thought that the initial version of the EP was good and had its charms, but did not have the sound we wanted. So we remixed and remastered the EP and the result is very significant: the sound is much closer to how we sound live, which really does justice to the songs. It was very important for us to deliver to the listeners the real thing and to release the best EP we could do. We consider this version as the definitive. We hope you'll like it as much as we do !"

“‘Burning Down‘ kicks off with a classic Pike riff. I think this song harkens back to the early High On Fire sound, but infused with fresh, new elements. It has a killer groove that you can really sink into. The body of the song took shape in our PNW rehearsal space, and we came up with the bridge/solo section and finalized the arrangement while we were at GodCity. Kurt Ballou’s input as a producer was also hugely helpful. His keen ears and fresh perspective were invaluable in making this album.” Source: <a href="https://www.theprp.com/2024/03/05/news/high-on-fire-debut-burning-down-music-video/" target="_blank">Theprp.com</a>

'Adrift / Tending the Embers' marks Pelican's first new music since 2019 and the first songs written with the band’s original lineup since 2012. The EP marks both a reunion and a departure, eschewing the caustic bombast of 2019’s 'Nighttime Stories' for more delicate and nuanced territory that imbibes their pastoral Midwest post-rock tendencies with triumphant riffs that feel indebted to the classic Dischord pantheon.

MIDNIGHT has been slaying the metal/punk underground with their own addictive brand of lust, grime, and sleaze dating back to the band’s inception. Filthy, belligerent, and obnoxious, MIDNIGHT makes music to start fights to.

If patience is a virtue, Love Sex Machine might as well be saints; albeit saints with a taste for the filthiest sludge metal riffs offset by down-tempo, post-metal grooves and a fiendish sense of lyrical humour. ‘Trve’ is 10 long-awaited tracks of revitalised righteous indignation, wry social commentary and, of course, unspeakably disgusting heaviness.

"Toadliquor is a band of sin and loathing. At least, that's how they sound. I don't think that I've heard a group that smells like blood, wine, and gasoline, but here we are. Sludge in your veins." Source: <a href="https://toadliquorsl.bandcamp.com/">Bandcamp</a>
