OLDSKULL - Nether Hollow of No Return
Inhuman Assault Productions
When I was researching this band I learned that they're part of something called the Siamese Brutalism collective. That's basically a bunch of death metal, grindcore and goregrind musicians based in Thailand. Their motto is WE BRING YOU MOST UTTER PAIN!!!!! Personally I think that's worth the price of admission. But hey the music is pretty damm good as well.
OLDSKULL hail from the great eastern nation of Thailand. Their brand of extreme on this their debut full length is death metal. Better yet it's old school influenced. Even better is that sound wise they're a cross between GRAVE and OBITUARY. It's kinda like a hidden gem from 1990.
OLDSKULL are a five piece act and all members are schooled in the old ways of the genre. The vocals are deep angry bellows. The riffs have that crunch to em. Lead work is a mix of melodic sweeps and short sharp shocks. The rhythm section has a steady and organic sound pounding away.
This debut has nine cuts, well eight and a closing instrumental. It's an amazing release and hearkens back to the classic era. I like every song on here, the instrumental is OK. But songs like "Perpetual Void", "None Shall Live", "Execution Temple" and "Arcane Serpents" are at perfection level for my old school tastes. This is definitely one of my favorite releases of 2021.
