Grind / Crust / Death Metal fiends Medium have unearthed another beautiful song via Decibel Magazine. They're keeping it fresh by infusing a variety of influences and also adding a tinge of melody to the proceedings. Check out the song that's premiered AT THIS LINK. "a short and snappy ripper that jams a lot into a little. Medium’s blend of death metal and crust with hardcore and even hints of black metal is a straightforward tune with enough melody and punk undercurrents to make it stand out from the legion of HM2-wielding bands" Rage-fuelled adrenaline junkies Medium give us their own fresh take on the grind/crust style with their self-titled debut. Their approach is not very conventional; there's something unique in the way they blend the best qualities of genres like grind, crust, punk and even death metal and hardcore to make music that's virtually unforgettable. There's palpable energy coursing through the entire album, with each song showcasing a slightly different dimension of the band's own sound. The dark and emotive undercurrent lends to the music a human quality that is not rooted only in aggression like most others in the style; streaks of melodies shimmer through the chaotic blasting parts and leave an indelible effect on you. This is some of the best, honest-to-goodness grind/crust music that you'll come across in this era, and the most commendable part of it all is that this is from a band from Argentina trying their best to make a mark - the talent is undeniable but the effort and intent is exceptional. Band lineup - Lucien - Vocals/Bass Rama - Drums Fede - Guitar Seba - Guitar

They explode through the walls of sleep to ravage your defenceless mind with visions twisted beyond comprehension...please welcome to the Imperative PR roster, Prion – an Argentinean trio of insurmountable power. It’s been nearly four years since the last album from Prion, the savage attack of Uncertain Process, but now they have returned – bringing the nightmares of Aberrant Calamity with them. Aberrant Calamity is the sound of massive, irreparable damage, a sonic vision of a brutalised reality. The finely crafted odes to terror that make up this mind-rending release are as deadly as they are deftly delivered. Featuring the heart stopping drum assault of Flavio Coscarella for the first time on a Prion recording, the level of intensity captured is frightening. The potential for Prion to utterly devastate has always been apparent, even back on their first ’99 demo, Corpse Dissection, but with Aberrant Calamity all the fearsome potential has been realised. These ten songs represent absolute death metal supremacy. The task of unleashing the beast that is Aberrant Calamity upon mankind will fall to Comatose Music and the date set for this act of mass destruction is February 22nd 2019. There will be no place to hide when Prion ride out into the night, no way to safeguard your sleeping minds. Prepare for pure, undiluted, merciless death metal and watch as the pretenders are brought to their knees. For a first taste of Prion's world of nightmares head to Slam Worldwide, where a new video for the track 'Observed Relativity' is being exclusively unleashed! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQCnpb0Ndn8&feature=youtu.be For more information on Prion click here Visit Prion on Facebook Argentina's Lord Divine sign with Fighter Records; first track, cover, tracklisting revealed8/12/2018 Stunning Argentinian progressive metal band Lord Divine have just inked a deal with Fighter Records for the worldwide release of their upcoming fourth album, Facing Chaos, scheduled for international release on February 5th, 2019.
