INTESTINAL HEX / PUKEWRAITH (Can) – Split CD

With his Pukewraith moniker, Brendan Dean takes the vomitous death metal sound that he explored on his debut demo (released by Gurgling Gore in 2021) and steps it up to a whole new level of rancidity. The riffs are otherworldly, the vocals grosser than a retching cat, and the guitar leads have more shred than a bag of cheddar cheese. FFO: Cannibal Corpse, Ripping Corpse, Massacre

Intestinal Hex are one of the death metal underground’s best kept secrets. It’s unlikely the name will stay secret for long, though. Daniel Bonofiglio (Gutvoid, Fumes, etc.) burst into the scene with his debut Intestinal Hex album, released on CDN Records. With the project, he churns out death metal that is as brutal as it is dark and atmospheric. A perfect combination of classic American and Finnish death metal sounds! FFO: Adramelech, Demilich, Incantation.
