Tormented – Death Awaits (Listenable Records)

We lost Dismember, we’ve recently lost or will be losing later this year Vomitory…Tormented have the right style and persona to follow in their footsteps although I will refrain from saying that they could replace them, we are not quite… Continue Reading →

With Burning Contempt – Red Visions (SR)

I recognised the sender name on this envelope and assumed and happily prepared myself for a new Project Failing Flesh album. I was right in one respect as the disc had been sent by Tim Guttierez of industrial, experimental thrash… Continue Reading →

Darkthrone – The Underground Resistance (Peaceville)

Has it really been three years since the last Darkthrone album? They normally shat them out like a tramp does mouldy brown water after a night foraging in bins behind the back of the local kebab shop. You may well… Continue Reading →

Deus Otiosus – Godless (Deepsend)

`Godless’ is the second, filth-covered, nasty, crusty old-school, death metal album from these surprisingly fresh faced and modern looking Danes. This eight-track opus has `old’ written all over it. The production is so authentic you can almost hear the dust… Continue Reading →

Hate – Solarflesh (Napalm)

Crikey, it doesn’t seem two minutes since I reviewed Hate’s last record, Erebos.  That album was a solid enough slice of atmospheric Polish death metal, with all the hallmarks of their countrymen. Technically proficient, with a flawless presentation, though to… Continue Reading →

Head Of The Demon – ST (The Ajna Offensive)

I have to admit to initially not being too sure how to deal with this debut by Head Of The Demon. Lovecraft themed (there’s a lot of it about this year already). Swedish band with unknown members from name bands… Continue Reading →

Kuolemanlaakso – Uljas Uusi Maailma (Svart Records)

Cast your mind back to the last time you were due to sit an exam you had under-prepared for, henceforth resulting in last-minute revision cramming. Do you remember the ghastly sensation of reading over the same paragraphs again and again… Continue Reading →

Pandemonium – Misanthropy (Pagan Records)

Way back in 2010 I was handed a promo by this Polish blackened death metal lot to review and was eagerly awaiting the full length. Which never turned up. Until now. The confusing thing is it seems to have been… Continue Reading →

King Fear – S/T (Quality Steel Records)

Despite the fact I have always found Shakespeare about as appealing as a holiday in Ethiopia, a misreading of this band name automatically drew word associations to a similarly titled play. This duo is based in Hamburg according to their… Continue Reading →

Reido – Minus Eleven (Slo Burn Records)

Polyrhythmic Sludge Doom. Now there’s something you don’t hear every day. Two-man outfit Reido come from a funeral doom background, but have since moved on into more experimental territory with ‘Minus Eleven’. The guitars are downtuned and crushing, pounding along… Continue Reading →
