Ulcerate + Inter Arma + Car Bomb

New Zealand death-metalists Ulcerate have been around since 2000, but their profile rose steeply with 2011's The Destroyers of All, which blended chaotic brutality with uncommonly atmospheric guitar vistas. The band turns up here in support of its imposing 2013 follow-up, Vermis, with help from Richmond's Inter Arma, which comes off like a black-metal–savvy Neurosis, and frenzied local tech-core mainstays Car Bomb.
