About the Band
Ulcerate is a New Zealand-based technical death metal band formed by guitarist Michael Hoggard and drummer Jamie Saint Merat in 2000. The band have released seven studio albums to date. The band have been featured in numerous articles as one of New Zealand's most prominent extreme metal acts, have toured widely across North America and Europe, and have been compared favourably to bands such as Neurosis and Gorguts. The band's sound has been described as "nauseating, disorienting and gleefully disharmonic", and is characterised by extremely technical death metal with extensive use of dissonance, time signature changes, and complex song structures.

Album Review
Phobocosm's latest offering, 'Foreordained', is a relentless assault on the senses, showcasing their signature blend of dark, atmospheric heavy metal. The album is shrouded in an eerie, foreboding atmosphere that sets the tone from the opening track 'Premonition'. The production quality is top-notch, with crushing riffs and thunderous drums creating a wall of sound that engulfs the listener. Standout tracks like 'Everlasting Void' and 'Infomorph' showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend intricate melodies with brutal aggression. 'Foreordained' solidifies Phobocosm's position as one of the leading forces in the extreme metal scene, further pushing the boundaries of their sound and cementing their place in the genre's pantheon.
