Brooklyn death metal veterans Memorial Gore have been at it since 2013, building a catalog steeped in the Old School traditions that the New York underground has long revered — caveman riffing, sepulchral production, and a relentless forward momentum that references the genre's early 90s peak without feeling like mere nostalgia. New York City's death metal lineage is one of the most storied in the genre, and Memorial Gore fit naturally into that lineage while carving out their own particular brand of brutality. They remain one of Brooklyn's more consistent and uncompromising death metal exports.
