CD, MP3 and Demo reviews

Molder- Engrossed In Decay (Prosthetic)

Having formed in 2017 the Illinois based Death Metal act Molder have certainly been putting a lot of effort into getting to where they are today. Kicking off their career with a slew of live records (something I particularly like… Continue Reading →

Turian – No Longer Human (Wise Blood Records)

Seattle is famous for many things including Amazon’s bottomless pit of consumables, plaid shirts, heroin, all things Grunge and Starbucks, purveyor of coffee and bringer of misery to the third world. What it’s probably not as well known for, is… Continue Reading →

Voluntary Mortification – Suffer To Rise (Rottweiler Records)

Slam inspired brutal death metal newcomers Voluntary Mortification hail from Lansing, Michigan and seek to deliver some hope for the hopeless through their gargantuan sized riffs. Whilst people might associate slam with silliness and people walking round in circles, swinging… Continue Reading →

Shuriken Cadaveric Entwinement – Constructing The Cataclysm (Comatose Music)

I am sure most of us have labels that we follow or have liked over the years, whether it is because of their eclectic nature, diversity, quality or in the case of US label Comatose Music their outright pulverising roster…. Continue Reading →

Nebala – Lustuz Laþu Wōþuz Alu (By Norse)

Genres are dumb. The idea that you need to be able to fit music into hyper specific categories is stupid and it ultimately makes the listening experience worse. While that is what I believe, it is also my excuse to… Continue Reading →

Teethgrinder – Dystopia (Lifeforce)

It’s been 6 years since “Nihilism” rattled my teeth. That was the Dutch noiseniks second album and it gave me all the right feels in all those wrong places (you know the ones that hurt soooooo good!)  The fact that it has taken them 6 years… Continue Reading →

Evil In – Age Of Immortal Darkness (S/R)

Evil In came to life in 2019 and is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Charlie Murphy. He dropped the debut EP “An Ethereal Force Beyond” last year and has now teamed up with Steffen Banas who takes up drum and bass… Continue Reading →

Abaddon Incarnate – The Wretched Sermon (Transcending Obscurity)

It’s kind of odd. I don’t really understand why Irish outliers Abaddon Incarnate don’t seem to get as much love as they clearly deserve. But with five albums since 1994 I think it’s safe to say that they fit the… Continue Reading →

The Machinist – All is Not Well (Prosthetic Records)

All is not well. Hmmm kind of an apt title for this collage of an album.  The Machinist that recorded the album are not to be confused with the Manchester band of the same name, which is what I fear… Continue Reading →

Krisiun – Mortem Solis (Century Media)

Blimey it was way back in 2008 and ‘Southern Storm’ when I last reviewed a Krisiun album. It was the mid-era of the Brazilian trio I guess my interest really peeked even giving them an album of the year accolade… Continue Reading →

StormbounD – December (S/R)

It’s probably an age thing (not ‘probably’, I know it is…), because technology seems to stride forward at an increasingly surprising rate the older I get and this self-financed debut album from Israeli Symphonic Metal band StormbounD is just another… Continue Reading →

Nightbearer – Ghosts Of A Darkness To Come (Testimony Records)

A second album from German chainsaw death metallers Nightbearer following on very nicely from their excellent debut full length ‘Tales Of Sorcery And Death’ released in 2019. Whether you would say there is a progression on their sophomore is down… Continue Reading →
