Grotesque Digest - Week 32, 2025
Your weekly extreme metal release roundup
Big Metal is finally having some mercy on us and allowing the machinery to cool down for once. Now, this might just be the gatekeeper in me speaking, or maybe I’m taking cues from some known pot-stirrers, but this is a cool callback to the slow drip you’d typically find in any given year’s early months.
Of course, that doesn’t mean week 32’s hopper is completely devoid of action. Apart from the return of the legendary Cemetery, this drop brings with it the hotly anticipated sophomore full-length by Ireland’s finest, Malthusian, as well as some tasteful goregrind served up by Sewer Haul. There’s even more, like the new Blackbraid, but since Ryan’s on holiday, I’ll leave those pickings to the vultures.
