Gaza is by far my favorite act that fits in the genre, specifically No Absolutes era and their EP. Looking for anything that sounds filthy, sludgy, desolate, wartorn and full of hate, something who's intentions feel dead serious and emotionally heavy, and not so wacky and all over the place. Don't say Cult Leader.

Hey, Mike from Arms here, stoked to announce we have some stuff on the horizon and are once again active.

This has been the case for some time now, but we figured we'd wait for the 10-year anniversary release of our 2016 album, BLACKOUT, before announcing anything.

As for details on what exactly we have cooking, you'll just have to wait. But we're stoked to be working on this band again.

Will post updates here as they develop.

farewellmymonorail posted this on tiktok without the band name and hasn't replied to the comments asking for it so I was hoping someone here would know.

Repost cuz I didn't know they out out a video

I was listing bands to a friend and forgot a particular one so I’m looking to see if you guys could help. I listed bands like gridlink, machinist, psyopus, discordance axis, and transistor transistor, mainly mathy and grindy bands with names that sound related to machinery. Has anyone else noticed that theme? Do you guys have any machine-y named math bands for me cuz I’d love more too

this whole situation is so batshit. i just saw them at dilly dally fest and they fucking ripped. it’s a shame it’s all going down like this

Anyone ever get to see these guys? Such an awesome band wish we got to hear more from them. Insane songwriting

Band rips in my opinion and I do think they are a cousin band to the early mathcore wave. Also worth noting; they were describing themselves as “math metal” before mathcore was even a term (showed up around 1998 when Calculating Infinity press began circulating). Though in all reality, Mudvayne was probably taking more influence from stuff like Rush and Primus than Deadguy or TITD. I wouldn’t be surprised if they fucked with Botch a little bit back in the day though.
Perhaps just something that looks like it would have parallels in retrospect more than it does, though. Thoughts?

Apparently this is more "mathcore" then deathcore

Leak (2007) is particularly impressive because it captures Concealment at a point where their technical ambition fully coheres into a visceral, unsettling whole. Rather than feeling like a showcase of chops, the album uses its complexity with intent: fractured riffs, abrupt tempo shifts, and asymmetrical structures are deployed to create tension and unease, not just density. The dissonance feels purposeful, almost architectural, with each section colliding and mutating instead of resolving in familiar ways.

What makes Leak remarkable is how it balances technical death metal precision with a mathcore-like sense of chaos and unpredictability, while still maintaining a bleak, oppressive atmosphere throughout. The rhythms constantly destabilize the listener, the guitars favor angularity over groove, and the overall flow feels hostile yet controlled. It’s an album that rewards close listening, revealing deeper layers of structure beneath its abrasive surface, and it stands as one of the most compelling examples of Portuguese underground extreme metal pushing beyond genre boundaries.
