Degenerations – DISKORD
RATING: 8.5/10 Death metal has multiplied and evolved with ferocious force over the decades, and it continues to spew up new and determinedly brain-mangling strains.

This band know their old-school and occult death metal inside out, but their approach is so warped and wilfully whacked out that it could only be the most natural thing in the world for these guys to play. Opener “Loitering in the Portal” is simply unhinged, with a giant, vicious kick-off riff that listeners will definitely not be exp...
