Norwegian duo Gouge have been kicking out some proper grimy death metal since 2011 but this is only their second release (after 2012’s ‘Doomed To Death’ EP). You’d never know it though because this lot sound so confident and assured… Continue Reading →
This is the second (stop saying ‘sophomore’ you pretentious wankers) album from Belgian DM crew Dehuman and is quite an improvement over 2012’s ‘Black Throne of All Creation’. Relentless touring with the likes of Agathocles & Master has paid off… Continue Reading →
I like simple stuff. I’m no musician (I think my guitar teacher Jack would agree) and I can’t get into hyper technical metal. Stuff that gets guitar nerds worked up into a frothy mess tends to leave me cold. I… Continue Reading →
Why me? Chances are you have no idea who Bursa Lamb are so I’m gonna just quote the opening line of the promo blah that comes with this, their debut album.…”Bursa Lamb is a killer death metal attack from Greece…”… Continue Reading →

The history of The Crown is a bit complicated. Suffice to say the Swedish death/thrash band have had their share of line up changes and split up in 2004 when original (and best) vocalist Johan Lindstrand buggered off to form… Continue Reading →
There are only really two horses in the race to be the kings of British brutal death metal. Bristol’s Amputated released their third LP a year or so ago and it was a killer record and here we have Manchester… Continue Reading →
2012’s debut ‘Summoning Black Gods’ was an absolute smasher and now the German death metal crew are back with another killer record ‘The Mysterious Ways Of Repetitive Art’. On this album the band have clearly matured and have developed a… Continue Reading →
Whilst being nowhere near the likes of Nunslaughter in the ‘fuck me, how many releases? How am I gonna ever own all that?’ stakes, Finnish atmospheric doom / death titans Hooded Menace still have a respectable smattering of super-limited edition… Continue Reading →
Sometimes this reviewing lark can be a bit dull, another brutal tech death band I thought. This’ll be a load of impossible to remember blasting / pig squealing tripe I thought. A few listens later though and I realised brutal… Continue Reading →
