4 Doors to Death Vol. 2/ Various - 4 Doors To Death Vol. 2 (Various Artists)

Three years after it was launched, a second volume has arrived in the 4 Doors To Death split series. This time, four new bands have been brought aboard for an even wilder and more diverse death metal experience. First up is Chicago's Nucleus, following up their 2019 full-length Entity with two new tracks. Pummeling, abstract sci-fi-themed death metal madness! Following them, Ectoplasma and Fetid Zombie (featuring Mark Riddick, who also contributed the album's stunning artwork) each deliver an EP-sized chunk of old school death and decay. Closing out the album, Temple Of Void lurch and growl through three new tunes, which will serve as an appetizer to their forthcoming new album, due this spring.
