Inbreeding Rednecks sound as though they ought to come from Arkansas, but in fact they’re a group of experienced musicians from Denmark with a passion for old school death metal. This, then, is what we get in copious quantities. Grim… Continue Reading →
I’m expecting nothing but the best coming from fellow Mancunian death metallers ‘Foetal Juice’. Formed in 2005 they released their first demo ‘Donnakababy’ in 2007and a year later another demo ‘Consume the Consumed’ then an EP in 2009 followed it…. Continue Reading →
Damn! Now that’s a piece of cover art! The very first thing that drew me in to Craven Idol was the beautiful work of Paolo Girardi certainly, but taking into consideration the fact that they’ve hooked up with Dark Descent… Continue Reading →
This is a progressive melodic death metal band from Peru, ‘The Incomplete Man’ is a self-funded effort and the fruits of this bands labour are endless based on the quality of the material on offer. I say quality, as it… Continue Reading →
The dry description suggesting “deathcore” does not prelude a technical feast. This is the third album release from this Belgian band, who prove they are not frightened to mix their styles. Some tracks are more aligned to death metal than… Continue Reading →

Denmark has had its fair share of death metal bands over the years, but none of which have really risen to the heights of their Swedish (or even Norwegian, in my opinion) brethren. OK, Invocator were great, as were Iniquity… Continue Reading →
Sometimes the passage of time seems to pass extremely quickly. I mean, it seems like only yesterday that Swedish crew Centinex were consistently delivering excellent Swedish death metal, and I lamented their loss just as much as the next slave… Continue Reading →
I guess the first and most obvious thing about these Sardinians is their Mayhem inspired moniker. If you are expecting a lesson in dangling hands and proto-black metal here though, I am afraid you will be rather disappointed. While there… Continue Reading →
The name Bodyfarm first appeared on my radar with last year’s ‘Malevolence’ debut. As I still haven’t heard that one in its entirety, ‘The Coming Scourge’ popped up as an interesting opportunity to get to know the band a lot… Continue Reading →
