Having already been active for an impressive quarter century, it’s encouraging to see the crushing and dizzying death metal of Ulcerate striking such a chord with extreme metal fans in recent years. Far from being the most accessible of bands, the New Zealand outfit specialises in songs that are as weighty emotionally as they are musically, skilfully balancing dissonance, aggression and atmosphere to create an undeniably intense and immersive experience.

The effectiveness of such an approach is underlined by the 2024 album Cutting the Throat of God, the band’s seventh record and arguably strongest to date. Epic and apocalyptic, it embodies an impressive degree of technicality throughout, not least in its use of detailed percussion, while – perhaps unusually for technical death metal – also making effective use of space and contrast to increase the dynamic impact.
