Weekly Welease Wednesday (10/15/25)
O Dankest Domain, Origin ov Odors, waft over us eternally. This week, we’ve got crafty annelids, undead crime, and spirit crusher. The Bowl overflows with the riches of the autumnal season, so dive on into the waters chill and let us know what we missed in the comments! [And thanks to Joaquin Stick for the blurb!]
Defigurement – Endbryo (Nefarious Industries) [Tech Grindcore]
I’ve never blurbed for a TTT/WWW before, so of course I’m going to pick a… grindcore album? How very un-Stick-y of me. These guys bring a fun technicality to grind with bits that sound more at home in a meandering, soft prog-death album. Grind’s schizophrenic nature makes it usually pass through one ear and out the other for me, but these Californians throw in enough melody across these three singles that I’ll be coming back to hear the other 13. I’ve never had so much fun having my brain leak through my ears. -Joaquin
