EP review: Irradiated Marrow - Ruined Forms (2021)

This EP is pretty sick. Irradiated Marrow is one of those unknown projects that definitely deserve more attention, simply because their music fucking kills. This is high-octane, hateful Black/Death Metal that borders on War Metal. In essence, you could say this is War Metal, but without the imagery. The simple, yet cool layout gives the music a sort of primitive aesthetic which is complimentary to the band's cavernous brand of hate-noise. Everything was recorded by one individual, a multi-instrumentalist known as Jared Moran aka Cave, and he definitely did a phenomenal job. The devastatingly raw production brings to mind Conqueror's "War.Cult.Supremacy," but also give nods to bands like Bestial Raids, Amputator, and Baphomet's Horns, etc. Enough with the name-dropping, if you like ultra-violent Black/Death that will tear you a new one, then this EP is for you. Recommended.
