Update. Catching up on a lot of older death metal releases I've missed thus far for the moment.

 

Did you get a chance to hear Allegaeon or Vale of Pnath's 2016 releases?

 

Only listened once, via Bandcamp stream, and enjoyed it. It reminded me of something (maybe early Allison Weiss?) but I will definitely return to it and give it some time to grow and unfold.
