So I have to get this out there straight away: I don’t own a single Nunslaughter release. I know, it’s unbelievable that this so-called metalhead hasn’t been able to get his act together enough to buy a single one of… Continue Reading →
German death metal always holds a special place for me just like German speed metal, it’s pretty unique in its tone and delivery as this. Having formed in 2011 FDA must have thought this band has something others do not… Continue Reading →
It has been quite a long time since a black/death metal release from Poland was a novelty; at one point the very idea would have sent chills down the spines of extreme metal fans everywhere. Now of course, many bands… Continue Reading →
In the mid-nineties, when death metal was as popular as Cradle Of Filth is now, I discovered an album. Not just any album, but a second-hand copy of Autopsy’s ‘Mental Funeral’. On my descent into the obscure world of death… Continue Reading →

It came as a surprise to me to read some of the lukewarm reviews to Autopsy’s 2011 comeback album, ‘Macabre Eternal’. Although easy to understand both how and why fans would have such unrealistically high expectations, personally, I was blown… Continue Reading →
