January 13th, 2023, saw the band releasing their debut studio album Non Stop Ruthless Crushing, with ten grinding and decaying war machine songs that would gratify fans of Death and Crowbar. The album was released through Guts and Blood Records, Carnicero Mutilaciones Records, and Rotten Records.

Skulldozer – Non Stop Ruthless Crushing Review opens and discusses the FIRST SIN: THE STRINGS/KEYS. Consisting of dual venomous technical/progressive -yet swamped riffs…

Let’s talk about the SECOND SIN: THE VOCALS, which involves deep roaring guttural vocals.

TMoving on to the THIRD SIN: THE PERCUSSIONS, which delves into the vast world of pounding and aggressive drum strikes/fills, beats, and tempos

In our following discussion about the band’s musical work, we will focus on the FOURTH SIN, the overall DISCUSSION of the album. Immediately, as the listener presses that play button, one is welcome to the world of SKULLDOZER, which drags the listener through a musical spectrum filled with bone-crushing, decaying extreme music -from that first opening piece, NON STOP RUTHLESS CRUSHING until the closing song SKULLFUCKING DOMINATION.

As one continues their dark, crushing, decaying, and brutal journey of ten songs that will crush your skull and destroy every essence of life out of your eardrums and speakers before reaching the end of the opening piece, NON STOP RUTHLESS CRUSHING — simultaneously not only delivers the listener’s ears with ten killer, brutal and crushing songs – but providing and delivering a fly-infester-rotting fruit that combines elements of traditional (brutal/technical) death metal of that’s firmly rooted in the old-school and modern (swampy) melodic sludge metal -thus creating/capturing something unique, different and divine of not sounding like any other death metal act.

At the same time, NON STOP RUTHLESS CRUSHING is a divine blessing of giving the listener this “Melodic Death Sludge Metal” that pushes the boundaries of experimentation in sound, brutalization, and heaviness -thus giving the band that heavy metal statues honor of “Music is art, and art should know no boundaries” which is injected with awesome composing of the music and the instrumental work, which are both top-notch and solid to the core, along with the production work, which is also solid like the halls of hell. In comparison, the instrumental and vocal artistry consists of (with perfect transitions of various heaviness, chords, tones, moods, atmosphere, and tempos) dual venomous technical/progressive -yet swamped with the sludge distortion/dissonance of heaviness-riff work and short-sweet (melodic) solos/(occasionally) multi chord playing of bringing of death/end of things, deep roaring guttural vocal work, pounding and aggressive (tint of a grooviest in rhythm/beats like a war machine grinding through a field—filled with decaying remains of humankind) drum strikes/fills, beats, and tempos, merciless-heavy bass riffs which are all delivered by excellent devilmanship.

While sitting here, indulgent in the music and inking this review -I found behind the music, buried within the lyrics, and buried within these lyrics, the music comes much darker (meaningful, captivating) -where these dark poems/songs are inked about (in fantasy and poetic storytelling way) tyranny, mind control/world enslavement, corruption, vengeance, death, redemption, awakening, and harsh reality.

Complete ruthlessly annihilation-crushing-adrenaline headbanging that’s neither repetitive nor dull -full-on entertaining

I wanted to share our thoughts and MEMORABILIA on the FIFTH SIN. SKULLDOZER offers a perfected deliverance of offering the listener a powerful -yet catchy and heavy -but dark and brutal release. That sound differs from other death metal acts, including the vocal work.

Let’s discuss the ARTWORK of the SIXTH SIN. When you have a brutal, crushing sound with the above lyrics, you need that artwork to cover these! This artwork has nailed it – dark, brutal, heavy/extreme metal-war machine artwork.t.

Finally, the review will close with the last sin, the SEVENTH SIN, the DISRELISH. Since there is nothing to disrelish within the musical world of SKULLDOZER. This concludes the Skulldozer – Non Stop Ruthless Crushing Review.
