Primal Code – Opaque Fixation (Relapse Records)

Since forming in 2021 this US death metal act has released a demo, split and EP in quick succession as this marks the band’s first, and hopefully not the last, full length. You rarely get to hear a straight up… Continue Reading →

Persecutory – The Glorious Persecution (Godz ov War)

I am familiar with this band and their two previous albums prior to this EP, and can say from past experience that they leave no stone unturned. Both were hard, fast, menacing and punishing but in a way that as… Continue Reading →

Ploughshare – Second Wound (I, Voidhanger)

I can’t be absolutely sure when Ploughshare formed but this Australian group put their first EP Literature Of Piss out in 2017 and thus followed some acclaim for the band’s debut full length In Offal, Salvation. Since then they have… Continue Reading →

Molder – Catastrophic Reconfiguration (Prosthetic Records)

Having formed back in 2017 I feel obliged to lump Molder into this new wave of Death Metal resurgence we’ve seen. Something which at one end has bands like Gatecreeper pushing the genre ever more mainstream and at the other… Continue Reading →

Massacre – Necrolution (Agonia Records)

This is classic US death metal, a new release consisting of Kam Lee, vocalist and basic innovator of death metal vocals, in fact the same stable line up since 2021’s ‘Resurgeance’ release. Those who following the Swedish death metal scene… Continue Reading →

Abschwörzunge – Whorl (I, Voidhanger)

Not much info seems to be available on this new project although we are informed it is an international entity. The rather long word of their name seems to translate to “Slur” and narratively here we are dealing with themes… Continue Reading →

Paganizer – Flesh Requiem (Transcending Obscurity)

I doubt there are many death metal bands that have the release rate and quality of Sweden’s Paganizer. Indeed this is the bands 13th full length and like previous albums the adage of if it isn’t broken then don’t fix… Continue Reading →

Cryptic Brood – Necrotic Flesh Bacteria (War Anthem Records)

These three delightful gentlemen hail from Germany. They’ve been active for over a decade, and as far as I can discern, “Necrotic Flesh Bacteria” is their third full length album. I was expecting something in the vein of Goregrind from… Continue Reading →

Haliphron – Anatomy Of Darkness (Listenable Records)

Fancy something spooky and symphonic for Halloween? Well this will do nicely. Dutch band Haliphron only rose from their graves in 2021 and have in their ranks various members past and present from Bleeding Gods, Isegrim, Sinister, Howitzer, Debauchery and… Continue Reading →

Feral – To Usurp The Thrones (Transcending Obscurity)

Hmmmm, tasty. I don’t know about you, but there’s something about really gnarly, HM-2 pedal guitar tone death metal that I just can’t give up. It’s like a fry-up. You know it’s going to clog your arteries, but hell if… Continue Reading →

The Crown – Crown of Thorns (Metal Blade)

Look, there’s no getting round this, and let’s not beat around the bush – “Crown of Thorns” is pretty much a shoe-in for my album of the year. This has been a good year for releases, but really, nothing has… Continue Reading →

Calcined – To Rot In A Honeybeam (Great Dane Records)

Switzerland’s Calcined is a band I came across when I reviewed their debut album for the site back in 2015 and was reasonably impressed by it. The sophomore was equally decent upping the technicality slightly that accompanies a band when… Continue Reading →
