INTERCRANIAL TREMORS Rebirth (2016) CD

Brisbane has been quietly producing some of the nastiest death metal in the country for years, and Intercranial Tremors are exactly the kind of band that gets name-dropped in the same breath as Disentomb whenever someone asks what Australian brutal death metal actually sounds like.

Rebirth, their 2016 release, delivers exactly what the name suggests and nothing more polite than that. Blast beats, gutturals, riffs designed to cause structural damage.

CD, 2016 Australian pressing.
