The UK Death Metal scene has always been there, I mean we have Napalm Death and Carcass for starters, but in more recent years things have been amping up. Celestial Sanctuary, Party Cannon, Vision Of Disfigurement, Colpocleisis, Crepitation and so… Continue Reading →
Don’t get me wrong I love Extreme Metal, it’s the logical conclusion of Metal and for me I’ve always enjoyed that envelope pushing heaviness and shock factor, especially in Death Metal and Goregrind. I’m not all guts and gore though,… Continue Reading →
I recently watched the Gates Of Hell trilogy from the mental gore obsessed Horror director Lucio Fulci and damn was I impressed, well aside from maybe House By The Cemetery (well, apart from the bat scene maybe). None the less… Continue Reading →

There are some bands that you just instantly fall in love with, such is the case for me and Impaled Nazarene. I heard their debut album Tol Cormpt Norz Norz Norz… pretty early on in my Extreme Metal journey. It… Continue Reading →
