Tech Level 2 - Indifferent (EP 2025)

Blasting Days readers should already know that Justin Broadrick isn't only an ex Napalm Death and doing Godflesh, he's mostly active nowadays as electronic/industrial music producer, and have done that sicne the nineties. As Tech Level 2 he's doing old school jungle, withe some eerie atmsospheres and an abrasive sound. the Indifferent EP is four track of raw jungle excellency.

Xenosis - Hermetic Transmutaiton (2026)

With this fifth album, Hermtic Transmutation, released with Transcending Obscurity, a label that keeps growing and excelling, the US death-metal band Xenosis are making a big impression. Very technical and progressive while keeping brutality on a high level. What the songs may lack in clear direction they more than compensate with the awesome musicianship and the many very inspired moments. Highly recomended!

Sex Dwarf - Påhittad Värld (2025)

Starting an album with a six-minute-long instrumental track isn't something crust punks usually do. But Sex Dwarf isn't your usual crust punk band, and they know better. Starting Påhittad Värld like this was an excellent move. The track is as ferocious as can be, no less than the shorter songs that follow. Super aggro noise punk from beginning to end. Highly recommended!

Combat Astronomy - Method and Trap (2024)

Combat Astronomy is a one man band, releasing music since 1999 (I wish I had discovered it earlier!). Method and Trap isn't its latest album, but it's my favourite among its recent stuff. What about the music, Expect high quality instrumental noise/post/math rock, always based on the drums and bass rhythm, but with something different in each release. In Method and Trap I'd say it's the synth soundscapes building an atmosphere in the songs. Subtle and very nicely done. Recommended!

Triage - In the Trenches (2026)

On this second Triage album, while the drums are definitely grindcore (Bryan Fajardo!), the vocals and riffs bring some kind of black/thrash/war metal feel, and it works fine. In the Trenches is perfect for your daily dose of audio aggression! Go for it!

Dome Runner - World Panopticon (2025)

Dome Runner is a Finnish trio, and their third (and double) album,World Panopticon, is a nice piece of old school industrial metal. The overall sound and the more ambient moments remind Godflesh, while the most aggressive parts can bring to mind Nailbomb. In any case, a very solid album that will please anyone into industrial metal.

Show Me The Body - Alone Together (2026)

Logically less diversity in this album than on their Corpus I and II EPs (which I recommend), but still a lot more diverse, surprising and personal than your usual hardcore album. Like in their previous albums Show Me The Body blend some noise-rock, post-punk and nu-metal (mostly some hip-hop rhythms and grooves) in their hardcore, but in Alone Together they also bring some marching band style music, along with bits of acoustic guitars and spoken words, with good results, managing again to renew themselves while keeping quality on top. I think it's time these guys get more recognition!
