Graveyard After Graveyard – Hellhound On My Trail (Chaos Records)

This 6 track EP is the third offering from the Swedish trio comprising of Rogga Johansson on bass, guitars and vocals; Grave guitarist Mika Lagrén and drummer Jocke Ringdahl from Sinners Burn. The project is a rather brash black, death,… Continue Reading →

Goat Semen – Ego Svm Satana (Hell’s Headbangers)

‘Ego Svm Satana’ is the first full-length record in Goat Semen’s fifteen year career. Given the reputation that the Peruvians have built on the back of demos during this time and the ten year period building up to their debut,… Continue Reading →

Melechesh – Enki (Nuclear Blast)

It’s something of an understatement so say that this album has been highly anticipated – by me and a growing band of Melechesh acolytes. No band to my knowledge has quite managed to engineer the combination of eastern scales with… Continue Reading →

Benighted – Brutalive The Sick (Season Of Mist)

French death metallers Benighted have a considerable discography since the release of a self titled debut in 2000 and subsequent six further full lengths since then. Half way into the decade and the band has seen fit to release a… Continue Reading →

Bursa Lamb – Lambdroid’s Vengeance (Coyote Records)

Why me? Chances are you have no idea who Bursa Lamb are so I’m gonna just quote the opening line of the promo blah that comes with this, their debut album.…”Bursa Lamb is a killer death metal attack from Greece…”… Continue Reading →

Decaying – One to Conquer (Hellthrasher Productions)

Finland’s war commentating death metal mercenaries have moved on a bit in the 3 years since I last took stock of their material. There has been an album and EP since the most excellent ‘Encirclement’ album. That focused lyrically more… Continue Reading →

Necrowretch – With Serpents Scourge (Century Media)

The sophomore offering by this French trio is as raw as it is extreme. The stripped down sound, buzzing guitars and hyper fast drumming are reminiscent of early 90’s black metal, but with the occasional melody thrown in for good… Continue Reading →

Xibalba – Tierra Y Libertad (Southern Lord)

Xibalba are not a band I’d heard of before receiving this, their third album, for review. Apparently splicing hardcore with death metal, ‘Tierra Y Libertad’ sees the Californians in their “most threatening form yet”. On top of assertions like this,… Continue Reading →

Hybrid Sheep – Free From The Clutches of Gods (Tenacity Music)

Having put out two previous EPs since forming in 2008, ‘Free From The Clutches of Gods’ is the debut full length release of this French band. Described as ‘modern death metal’, there sure is a lot of US-styled deathcore in… Continue Reading →

Withdrawn / Demented – Things Change Others Remain (Great Dane)

This split from Great Dane Records features two French death metal bands that have been around for a while but have not really made their mark so far. Withdrawn have been around for just over 10 years and have 2… Continue Reading →

Gravastar – Genetic Genesis (S/R)

Futuristic New Wave Of Swedish Death Metal on this debut album from Greek band Gravastar is what we are promised here. There are definite industrial tones and spacey feelings straight off as this sets in and prepares to drag us… Continue Reading →

Hate – Crvsade:Zero (Napalm)

Behemoth fan? Addicted to Vader? Then the chances are you’ve already dabbled with a bit of Hate. If you have I probably don’t even need to say at this point that they’re from Poland and, although this next fact is… Continue Reading →
