Grotesque Digest - Week 28, 2025

Your weekly extreme metal release roundup

Summer is bringing the heat—and so are the bands and labels. This week should be of particular interest to death metal fiends: whether you're craving your fix of old-school (Décryptal, Disembodiment, Ossuary) or you're looking to get lost in breakneck technicality (Lyxætherivminthraxas, featuring Colin Marston on bass and Nikhil Talwalkar on drums; definitely check out that new Kakothanasy if you love Defeated Sanity), the second week of July has you covered.
