Record of the DayThe album that owned the day
Waste of Mortality

The Dawn is Hollow
Ulcerate · Cutting the Throat of God
First Ulcerate since Jul 08.

Ulcerate, from New Zealand, the leading name in dissonant, atmospheric death metal.

When Life Has Ceased
Entombed · Left Hand Path
First Entombed since Jul 30.
