"IMMORTAL" : HOMICYDE’s Swamp-Soaked Death Metal Is Here (And It’s Nastier Than a Gator Bite)
https://youtu.be/Ez9LQa6-FNA
The South Carolina swamps just coughed up something vicious. HOMICYDE, Charleston’s melodic death metal wrecking crew, have dropped Immortal, their latest slab of riff-heavy, groove-laced carnage. No frills, no hype: just a band who’ve spent 15 years sharpening their blades in the underground, and it shows.
Why this matters: If you’ve ever nodded along to The Black Dahlia Murder’s surgical precision or Gojira’s rhythmic hypnotism, Immortal slides right into that sweet spot: where technical chops meet neck-snapping groove. The Parrott brothers (drums, vocals, bass) and their dual-guitar attack (Palmer/Weidick) don’t just worship at the altar of Cattle Decapitation or Orbit Culture; they drag those influences through their own murky, Southern-tinged filter. Think swamp-metal meets Stockholm, with breakdowns that hit like a fallen oak.
The evolution: 2022’s The Sickening Tales was a statement. Immortal? That’s the sound of a band tightening the screws, lyrically wrestling with mortality and resilience (because, let’s face it, death metal should stare into the void), while musically balancing melodic hooks that haunt and riffs that maim. And yes, they’re still 100% DIY: booking tours, grinding it out, and proving that independence doesn’t mean compromise.
They dropped this a year ago and just started pushing it. Late to the party? Maybe. But when the beer’s this strong, who cares if it’s been aging? Fresh off their “All The Worst Stars” tour, they’re already plotting October 2025 and January 2026 dates and, because they’re gluttons for punishment, new material’s in the works.
Verdict: Immortal won’t rewrite the death metal rulebook, but it will leave your neck sore and your speakers begging for mercy. And in 2025, that’s a damn victory.
