Malevolent Creation – Dead Man’s Path (Century Media)

Here we have album number twelve from Malevolent Creation. Aside from mentioning their status as one of the pioneering bands from the early ’90s Floridian death metal scene, I think it’s fair to assume that they require little introduction. Five… Continue Reading →

De Profundis – Kingdom of the Blind (Wickerman)

De Profundis are a UK band who completely bypassed me having formed about the same time I left there for life on the continent in 2005. Apparently starting out devoted to doom, these Londoners have since evolved into more of… Continue Reading →

Black Breath – Slaves Beyond Death (Southern Lord)

For your average metal extremist, raw, unadulterated death metal is always going to be greatly appreciated. Those deeply satisfying, gravelly growls teamed with signature riffs and infectious grooves are guaranteed to get heads banging. One group paying a fantastic tribute… Continue Reading →

The Arisen – Rising Times (Autoproduction)

This seven track ep is the debut release from The Arisen who hail from France. If I were to pin down a single word to describe “Rising Times”, based on my first listen, it would be “difficult”. That can be… Continue Reading →

Resurrecturis – Nazienda (Mighty Music)

We have all at some point in our lives made the harrowing struggle into the office on  vile Hangover Monday, with a cumbersome black cloud of despair hanging over us, wondering how on earth we are going to cope with… Continue Reading →

Interview – Kam Lee

One of the finest death metal vocalists of all time, Kam Lee is a busy bloke. He’s death metal royalty in my view – having performed in some of the most seminal bands in the genre (Mantas / Death /… Continue Reading →

The Black Dahlia Murder – Abysmal (Metal Blade)

This US hyper speed technical death metal outfit seems to divide the death metal fraternity when it comes to whether they are death metal or not as in the past I have seen the band labelled as metalcore which is… Continue Reading →

Hell:On – Once Upon A Chaos… (Ferrrum)

Ever wondered what a modern day soundtrack to 90s classic zombie shoot ‘em up Doom might sound like? Well, either intentionally or not, Hell:On appeared to have stumbled headlong onto the perfect formula with combat trousers, jackboots and double barrelled… Continue Reading →

Nile – What Should Not be Unearthed (Nuclear Blast)

The latest release from a modern titan in any genre is always one that is eagerly anticipated. When said titan however is technical death metal beast’s Nile, you know the wait has been more than worth it, as this is… Continue Reading →

Soulfly – Archangel (Nuclear Blast)

When it comes to South American metal musicians, there are none more recognisable than Max Cavalera. Co-founder of Sepultura, the rhythm guitarist and vocalist has been a standard bearer for metal since the mid-late 80’s producing some of the finest… Continue Reading →

Rivers of Nihil – Monarchy (Metal Blade)

Upon initial listening, Rivers of Nihil’s second full length release, Monarchy, is a powerfully miserable record. If you can envisage a depressingly heavy version of Gojira, with furious technicality and oodles of dominant blast beats, then you pretty much have… Continue Reading →

Hate Eternal – Infernus (Season of Mist)

It doesn’t feel all that long ago that Hate Eternal’s debut came out, although scarily it’s been sixteen years. Evolving into a technical, stream-lined and über brutal death metal unit along the way, there have been some ups and downs…. Continue Reading →
