Happy Holidaze from Chorosia!
Hey gang,
Hope you’re all doing great out there!
We just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone happy holidaze and a heavy new year! (yeah yeah, holidaze and heavy, what a cliche, we know, shut up).
Seriously though, 2025 has been a busy one for us and we’re all ready to kick back with our families for a bit. Since we come from four different countries, you can imagine the kind of cross‑continental trek our camp turns into this time of year!
Just last weekend, we had our annual Christmas dinner, our little get-together where we feast and engage in highly intellectual discourses about the best releases of the year. Below are our favorite picks. See if there’s anything new for you:

As for 2026, we’re so looking forward to what’s coming up. As you’ve most probably seen already, we’ve been busy tracking new stuff these past few weeks. The groundwork is done, but we’re still far from finished. Things are shaping up very nicely, however. These new tracks are going to be fuggin heavy, it’s safe to say that already.
So, yeah! Stay safe, treat yourself right, and have a great one with your friends and family, and whoever else comes your way.
Love and talk to you soon!
