Veilburner – The Three Lightbearers (Obscure Divinity Records)

Citing the likes of Nile, Cannibal Corpse and Behemoth amongst their inspirations, this stuck out like a sore thumb amongst my review pile for getting fast tracking to my ol’ lug holes with priority. Veilburner’s debut album is packed with… Continue Reading →

Revel In Flesh – Death Kult Legions (Cyclone Empire)

This is Germany’s answer to old school death metal, no stranger to me or Ave Noctum, this is the band’s third full length effort. Whilst the bare rotten bones of the two predecessors reside rather brutally in places, there is… Continue Reading →

Morgon – Necrokvlt Archeochaosphere (Terror From Hell)

Not to be confused with the German blackened death outlet of the same name, French trio Morgon have resurrected their 2012 self-released album ‘Necrokvlt Archeochaosphere’ via Terror From Hell Records and the result is as deadly as it seems. With… Continue Reading →

Decimation – Reign Of Ungodly Creation (Comatose Music)

Sometimes this reviewing lark can be a bit dull, another brutal tech death band I thought. This’ll be a load of impossible to remember blasting / pig squealing tripe I thought. A few listens later though and I realised brutal… Continue Reading →

Born From Pain – Dance With the Devil (BDHW/Soulfood)

Formed in 1997, the Dutchmen of Born From Pain have made it their mission to merge the forces of metal – thrash and death – with hardcore. Over the course of six albums they have made a name for themselves,… Continue Reading →

Bloodbath – Grand Morbid Funeral (Peaceville)

It’s like the old school network who used to be a bunch of debauched badly behaved upstarts who have now gone on to respectable jobs getting back one more time to reminisce and try and get back in the groove… Continue Reading →

Aversions Crown – Tyrant (Nuclear Blast)

It’s quickly clear where we’re heading. Hard hitting death metal breaks into the brief sample and save a break here and there, this is about solid and unrelenting punishment. It’s well done and all in sync but whilst drilling holes… Continue Reading →

Thanatos – Global Purification (Century Media)

Thanatos are a proper death metal band. How proper? Well, they were arguably the FIRST extreme metal band from The Netherlands and since 1984 have been producing some of the most consistently brutal, thrashing, death metal albums that have come… Continue Reading →

Soulburn – The Suffocating Darkness (Century Media)

Soulburn is the band originally formed by Asphyx legends Eric Daniels and Bob Bagchus back in the ’90s. Rounded out with vocalist/bassist Wannes Gubbels their debut record, 1998’s ‘Feeding on Angels’, sounded so similar to Asphyx that the same line-up… Continue Reading →

Septycal Gorge – Scourge of the Formless Breed (Comatose Music)

`Scourge of the Formless Breed’ is the third full length album by Turin’s underground brutalists Septycal Gorge, and it is a pretty interesting proposition. Many bands of this style opt for simplistic, gruesome, splatter-gore lyrics and put all of their… Continue Reading →

Zom – Flesh Assimilation (Invictus)

It’s about time we got a full length album from Irish black, doom, crust scumbags Zom. For those that have caught them live they really do deliver the goods and leave their mark on you and having seen them twice… Continue Reading →

Centinex – Redeeming Filth (Agonia)

With the nineties’ death metal scene in Sweden being one of the more overcrowded genres of times past, Centinex were still a force to be reckoned with and after an eight year silence, the band are back with an album… Continue Reading →
