UMUR
"Die for Us" is the fifth full-length studio album by Australian death metal/deathgrind act Werewolves. The album was independently released in July 2024. It´s the successor to "My Enemies Look and Sound like Me" from August 2023. The lineup hasn´t changed since Werewolves formed in 2019, so it´s still David Haley on drums, Matt Wilcock on guitars and vocals, and Sam Bean performing vocals and bass. Related to artists like Akercocke, Abramelin, Faustian, The Berzerker, and Psycroptic these guys are quite prolific both on the Australian and the international death metal scene.

Stylistically "Die for Us" more or less continues down the same death metal/deathgrind road that Werewolves have travelled since day one. Artists like Terrorizer and Coldworker are pretty valid references. It´s fast, brutal, and aggressive deathgrind with heavier death metal moments thrown in here and there. The vocals vary between death metal growling and sligtly more aggressive snarling/growling. To my ears, the otherwise very well sounding production job, is a bit too clear for this type of music, and I wouldn´t have minded a bit more grit and filth. It would probably have made the music even more effectful.

But if you´re here to get your faced kicked in Werewolves are a safe bet. "Die for Us" is a relentlessly brutal death metal/deathgrind release featuring a caustic level of aggression. The band are well playing too and upon conclusion "Die for Us" is another good quality death metal/deathgrind release from Werewolves. They don´t invent the wheel or produce anything particularly unique, but there´s plenty of quality here to warrant a 3.5 star (70%) rating.
