Exhumed – To The Dead (Relapse)

Incredible really to think that the fetid gentlemen from Exhumed have been plying their wares since 1990. Since that time, of course, they’ve had a lot of line-up changes, including members past and present from bands like Impaled, Intronaut and… Continue Reading →

Defleshed – Grind Over Matter (Metal Blade)

As clever as the title is by this veteran death metal act, there have been a number of other bands using it either as album titles or song titles as this release is the band’s first since 2005’s ‘Reclaim The… Continue Reading →

Consumption – Necrotic Lust (Hammerheart)

Let me paint a picture for you. You, your hombres, friends – or to use the parlance of our times – “crew” are reposing at a festival, gig or public gathering of your choice. The conversation starts to drift to… Continue Reading →

Witchery – Nightside (Century Media)

Can it really be way back in 2017 that Witchery had their last album? Well, Jensen’s Swedish dark blackened thrash crew are back with another album, along with another line-up change. Victor Brandt, who it turns out had actually toured… Continue Reading →

Temple of Worms – Liber De Morbis (Great Dane Records)

French crew Temple of Worms hail from that bastion of all things death metal, that being – of course – um…Lyon. Still, while that region may not be best known for extreme metal, this is that band’s first full length… Continue Reading →

Teratoma – Purulent Manifestations (Avantgarde Music)

Sometimes, what you need is a short nasty and brutish release. That’s exactly what we have here from German death metallers Teratoma, with a 6 track mini CD that does exactly what it says on the tin. The PR sheet… Continue Reading →

DFC – Decadent Perversity (Transcending Obscurity)

Australia has a reputation of sorts of being brutal, be it the fact everything on the continent is trying to actively kill you in some way and its people have a rather blunt sense of humour which pulls no punches…. Continue Reading →

Werewolves – From the Cave to the Grave (Prosthetic)

Let me get this straight from the get go. I have always been a fan of werewolves, as in lycanthropes. When it comes to folklore and myths there is something about a curse turning a man or woman into a hairy bloodthirsty… Continue Reading →

Decapitated – Cancer Culture (Nuclear Blast)

The years since their last album (2017s “Anticult”) haven’t been kind to Decapitated. False rape charges were brought against the band members whilst touring the USA in late 2017, COVID-19 interrupted their European tour with Beyond Creation in March 2020,… Continue Reading →

Wombbath – Agma (Transcending Obscurity Records)

Quite possibly one of the most underrated and overlooked death metal bands of the last 30 years, Sweden’s Wombbath may have a moniker conjuring up images of sonic rancidity but they offer so much more than that, indeed their latest… Continue Reading →

Albums Of The Year 2021

Pete Woods (Editor) – Top 20  2021 the new normal? If its bastard predecessor was summed up by the word “despair” this one would have been “uncertainty” and we are far from back to what can be considered normal with… Continue Reading →

Damnation Festival – Leeds, University 6/11/21

With last year’s event cancelled due to covid, this Autumn/Winter festival is one of worldwide acclaim, where usually artists spanning the globe vie for spots on the bill. Many of the international artists ended up cancelling their scheduled appearance this… Continue Reading →
