Read on for some early reviews of The Hollowing Of Godflesh from media worldwide:

“With ‘The Hollowing of Godflesh’, Crown Magnetar have established themselves as modern masters of deathcore debauchery and set a new standard for other upcoming bands wanting to break away from blackened death and bring back the brutal.” – Angry Metal Guy

“…the album sees the band pushing their brutal technical deathcore sound further into death metal territory while retaining the crushing breakdowns and intensity that have defined their rise.” – Distorted Sound Magazine

“You want to hear deathcore that sounds like getting your face kicked in? This is the band for you.” – Kardavox Academy

“…this is an incredibly brutal-sounding record. It’s caveman riffs taken all the way to 11.” – A&P-REACTS

“‘The Hollowing Of Godflesh’ ranks right up there with the most destructive releases for 2026! A band still young in the grand scheme of things but who are beginning to realise their terrifying potential!” – The Razors Edge

“The band’s third LP is far and away the most refined and distilled—sharpened and honed—version of the band, and serves as a high bar for which only previous few other deathcore releases from 2026 can compete with, making it a must-listen for anyone with even a passive interest in the genre.” – New Transcendence

Crown Magnetar are bringing the brutal back. Many rising deathcore bands are inspired by and approximate a revival of the genre’s early creators. However, these brutes go to what inspired those OGs: the kind of heavy-focused knuckle-dragging that inspired the death- portion of the equation. Early brutal death metal like Suffocation and Dying Fetus slam as much as they shred, and it’s between these whiplashing realities that Colorado’s Crown Magnetar blast through third LP The Hollowing of Godflesh.

“I’ve always been into brutal death metal, but over the years it’s become more and more what I listen to,” exclaims vocalist Dan Tucker, citing Putridity, Brodequein and Defeated Sanity, in addition to the breakneck deathcore bands on which Crown Magnetar based their riff-heavy sound: The Red Shore, I Declare War and Thy Art Is Murder.

The influences bleed all over the album, which apparently does little to sate the prolific band’s bloodthirst. They continue their streak of one release each year, with the noteworthy difference on LP3 that it marks the recorded debut of guitarist Rob Maramonte. His time in both The Zenith Passage and Fallujah is reflected in the tech death bend, while stints filling in for Thy Art Is Murder and All Shall Perish ensured his right-hand chugs were just as deadly.

Calling it the most complete version of their (brutal tech) deathcore isn’t just hearsay, it’s proven. “Desecrate Infinite” was the best-streaming song the band ever released, besting even 2025’s monolithic Punishment EP. Read the full bio here.
