Casket – Ghouls Of Filth EP (Lycanthropic Chants)

Dismember, Autopsy, Grave, Abscess….. like those bands? I do, and the ridiculously talented Marco Brinkmann from Detmold, Germany certainly does! Casket are Marco, (a sound engineer when on his down time from grave robbing and eating babies) and drummer Herr… Continue Reading →

Undead – Redemption (S/R)

Taking a look at the artwork and logo of this when I pulled it out the packaging I got an immediate flashback and remembered covering the band on their debut 7” vinyl ‘Blood Enemy’ in 2015. Obviously Undead have a… Continue Reading →

Vircolac – The Cursed Travails Of The Demeter (Sepulchral Voice)

Another new name to me. Apparently it means ‘werewolf’ in Romanian but the band themselves are very much an Irish entity and frontman Darragh O’Laoghaire is also head honcho at Invictus Prodctions. Now for the literary amongst you, you will… Continue Reading →

Dysemblem – Strength Of Giants (S/R)

Worshipping the old ways and apparently having been in the metal scene for over 20 years Aees is originally from Greece but resides in London. Dysemblem may well be a new name for you, as it was for me and… Continue Reading →

Grave Desecrator – Dust To Lust (Season Of Mist)

I don’t know about you but sometimes I get fed up with a lot of the over-produced, super shiny uber technical death metal out there. That’s not the sound that got me hooked on death metal in the first place. … Continue Reading →

Endarker – Among the Shadows (Ihate)

Those plucky chaps over at the splendid Ihate Records camp have been raiding the archives again, this time bringing us the complete collection of music put out by the band Endarker. “Who are they?” you may well ask. A fair… Continue Reading →

The Wakedead Gathering – Fuscus: Strings of the Black Lyre (I, Voidhanger)

Reader, I started writing this review only after having sat for a long time with my head in my hands. It’s one of those quirks of music reviewing that after a while, writing about it starts to feel a bit… Continue Reading →

Bombs Of Hades – Death Mask Replica (War Anthem Records)

Fourth album from this bunch of death purveyors from Sweden who offer a different twist to what you would normally expect from the worlds death metal hub by injecting punk and crust elements that make their songs urgent and a… Continue Reading →

Interview – Horrendous

Death Metal – don’t you just love it? For a genre that seemed to be dead and buried back in the late 90s – drowning in an obsession with sweep-picking, grunting and triggered, plasticky gravity blasts – at the start… Continue Reading →

Vastum – Hole Below (20 Buck Spin Records)

This US act has a couple of releases already out but has not hit my death metal radar until now and thankful I am too. With the various sub-genres in death metal offering an assortment of styles according to ones… Continue Reading →

Under the Church – Rabid Armageddon (Pulverised)

Last year’s self-titled EP from this international entity blew me away with its take on old-school Swedish death metal. Raw, grim and atmospheric, it underscored what so many modern exponents and worshippers are missing in creating such Swedeath: authenticity. Formed… Continue Reading →

Grave Ritual – Morbid Throne (Dark Descent)

Bestial. Primitive. Morbid. No, not a description of my sex life (….although) but an accurate summary of this cracker from Grave Ritual. If you’ve not heard of the band before, they formed in 2009 after Ryan (vocals / guitar)  &… Continue Reading →
