Gigan - Anomalous Abstractigate Infinitessimus (2024)

I won't compare Anomalous Abstractigate Infinitessimus with Gigan previous four albums, because I'm discovering them with this one (No, I don't live under a rock, but previous album was seven years ago and by that time I was still mostly sticking to the old school death metal). But what I can say is that it's an awesome album, the embodiment of how mind-blowing technical death metal can be. Gigan is tech death at it's most radical, dissonant and abstract, but also progressive and catchy in it's very special kind of unhuman groove. Highly recommended!

Graveyard - 6 (2023)

Usually graveyard is where people end, but for a change I'll start this new year for Blasting Days with a Graveyard review. Their sixth album, called 6, and released in September 2023. After a couple of albums in which they had modernised a bit their sound, they are back to their proto-heavy metal / heavy blues roots. The result is a very quiet album, but filled with excellent songs that I enjoyed listening many times. Good stuff.
