Deathronation – Hallow the Dead (Van)

These Germans appear to have had a bit of a tumultuous past: starting out in 2004, releasing two EPs, splitting up (losing members with names like Randy Rots in the process) and reforming. But alas, after ten years of waiting… Continue Reading →

Infernal Conjuration – Death Has Appeared (Gruft Produktion)

There is a real whiff of brimstone, as well as grubby denim and sweaty leather about this one. Like many other bands across the globe, the wonderfully named Infernal Conjuration eschew the modern trends, sub-sub genres and nuances, and harken… Continue Reading →

Stam1na – SLK (Sakara Records)

Sometimes when people talk to you there’s loads of words coming out but none of them say anything. That was kind of like the press blurb for this band. It says lots about how big they are in their home… Continue Reading →

Following hot on the heels of their debut EP – 2013’s ‘Damnati’ – comes the debut full length album from Ordo Inferus. Forming as somewhat of an international underground super group (with Daryl Kahan from Disma/Funebrarum and Martin Halfdan of… Continue Reading →

Cannibal Corpse – A Skeletal Domain (Metal Blade)

As I’m sure has been the case for thousands of other fans, Cannibal Corpse was the band that truly roped me into the death metal genre. Chancing upon a second hand copy of their debut ‘Eaten Back to Life’ –… Continue Reading →

Genital Putrefaction – Stworzony Przez Bogów (Old Temple)
