Decapitated Christ – Arcane Impurity Ceremonies (FDA Rekotz)

It’s funny that the cover art to this one immediately reminded me of Impiety’s ‘Skullfucking Armageddon’, as Decapitated Christ are self-confessed fans of those Singaporean nuts. Over the course of three albums, this Spanish five-piece has (apparently) made it its… Continue Reading →

Golem – Eternity The Weeping Horizons / The 2nd Moon re-issue (FDA Rekotz)

Do you like Carcass? Of course you do. If not you’re looking at the wrong website surely… now move along. Now we’ve sorted that out and got rid of them, let me tell you about Golem. If you’re not aware,… Continue Reading →

Winter Of Sin – Violence Reigns Supreme (Cyclone Empire)

Active since 1998, this Dutch entity now finds itself in rather a unique position. Not only does it boast two members of the much missed God Dethroned amongst its ranks but one of whom is Mr Dethroned himself, Henri ‘the… Continue Reading →

Massacre – Back From Beyond (Century Media)

This is a band whose name screams forefathers of the American death metal scene, that being the case, they only have two records behind them, although the second effort ‘Promise’ was well “beyond” (couldn’t help it!) their debut ‘From Beyond’… Continue Reading →

Coffinworm – IV.I.VIII (Profound Lore)

Remember how terrifying Indian’s ‘From All Purity’ was? Well it looks as if Coffinworm are about to steal their title of ‘scariest album of the year’ with ‘IV.I.VIII’, the follow-up to 2010’s ‘When All Became None’. Blackened sludge, doom-death, whatever… Continue Reading →

For a Dozen Matters – The Hell That Follows (Trailblazer)

Promoted as an example of the New Wave of Swedish Death Metal, for me this album had a distinct old school air about it. With its intense driving force, death n roll covers it nicely. The band who deliver it… Continue Reading →

Ancient Ascendant – Echoes And Cinder (Candlelight)

Not even the end of March and so far we’ve had some absolutely blinding British death metal records unleashed upon us….. Amputated, Basement Torture Killings, Cancerous Womb & Dripback have all smashed us to bits with their latest releases and… Continue Reading →

Nihilo – Dum Spiro Spero (Subversiv Records)

`Dum Spiro Spero’ marks 10 years of life for this grisly, underground outfit from Switzerland, although by the sounds emanating from this filthy slab of nastiness, you’d think they had been going a lot longer! These boys are from the… Continue Reading →

Morbus Chron – Sweven (Century Media)

So, Morbus Chron, a name which has been firmly embedding itself in the underground metal community’s consciousness over the last few years. As with so many bands that I’ve covered lately, they have until now just been a name for… Continue Reading →

Howls of Ebb – Vigils of the 3rd Eye (I, Voidhanger)

If we can, for a moment, try to divide the output of the extreme metal scene into the good, the bad and the downright ugly, there is absolutely no question that that Howls of Ebb fall headlong into the foul… Continue Reading →

Vampire – ST (Century Media)

These Swedes for me set the Live Evil Festival in London late last year alight with their death thrash black arsenal of nasty, often breakneck paced metal madness. Quickly becoming something of an underground sensation, it’s therefore quite surprising that… Continue Reading →

Human Beansauce – Baculum (SR)

I listened to a sample of what was a three minute extract of “Lost Fulcrum”, the first track on this album. I was attracted to the deep and chunky six string bass sound and wanted to hear more. Human Beansauce… Continue Reading →
