"Wreathed in Mourncloud" is inspired by countless wanderings amongst the crags and fells of England’s Lake District, howls defiance, regret and remembrance to the bitter grey skies. The Watcher has spent the best part of three years painstakingly crafting the material that not only matches the power of its predecessor but takes every aspect of Fellwarden’s sound to the next level.

Pacific Northwest’s CAUSTIC WOUND (featuring members of MORTIFERUM, Cerebral Rot, Fetid, and Magrudergrind) play unrelenting and punishing brutal death-grind that captures the aesthetic and palpitations of the classic old-school era of the genre (not exceeding 1992). Their debut album, “Death Posture” (out April 10 on CD/LP/Digital) which follows their 2018 “Grinding Terror” demo, sounds like that foul relic that could have been produced somewhere around ‘88-91 while upholding a powerful, dark, murky yet unyielding production, all while eschewing and laying waste to the clinical, plastic and ornamental trappings of what comprises the majority of the grind scene today.

For fans of early/old-school Terrorizer, Napalm Death (88-90), and Carcass (88-91)
