Mutagenic Host – The Diseased Machine
Death Metal / 2025 / England
Mutagenic Host is a London-based death metal band formed in 2023, comprising members from the UK and US with backgrounds in hardcore and black metal. Their sound fuses ’90s Floridian death metal heaviness with hardcore sensibilities, delivering a crushing and groove-laden style.
Released on January 3, 2025, via Dry Cough Records, The Diseased Machine is Mutagenic Host’s debut full-length album. The record offers ten tracks of brutal death metal, characterized by buzz-saw riffs, pummeling drums, and guttural vocals. The album’s thematic focus on technological apocalypse and AI-driven dystopia adds a modern edge to its old-school death metal foundation.
