The Black Dahlia Murder – Everblack (Metal Blade)

I have never quite understood why this band has been lambasted by hordes of so called death metal fans when TBDM’s music is some of the most brutally potent and technical extreme death metal around. Often tagged with core tendencies… Continue Reading →

September Murder – He Who Invokes Decadence (SR)

This up-and-coming German death metal quartet have been around since 2005; ‘He Who Invokes Decadence’ marking their second full-length effort. So far all of their recordings have been self-released, including this latest one. The stylish, luxuriant artwork here and the… Continue Reading →

The New Dominion – Procreating the Undivine (SR)

These Dutch deathsters have been going for some seven years now, give or take the odd hiatus. Featuring ex-Pestilence drummer Yuma van Eekelen and guest appearances from an ex-Cynic member, along with Prostitute Disfigurement’s Niels Adams, all signs are good…. Continue Reading →

King Parrot – Bite Your Head Off (Candlelight)

Candlelight continue their broad genre ranging signings, this time with a blizzard from Oz with links to Blood Duster amongst others so I guessed we weren’t going to be talking gothic metal. Nope, with a charmingly impossible cover, this is… Continue Reading →

Torture Killer – Phobia (Dynamic Arts)

A stark black and white image greets me upon looking at the cover art of the new Torture Killer album, quite a transformation in style to their previous couple of albums which had bold colours on great artwork to create… Continue Reading →

Eternal Rest – Prophetic (Deepsend)

This is the debut album from Australian death metal crew Eternal Rest, though judging by the proficiency of their songwriting and the impressive way they can musically slap you about the face to get your attention, you’d think these guys… Continue Reading →

It seems appropriate in the wake of Jeff Hanneman’s untimely demise that I should find myself confronted with an album centered around themes of war and humanity’s endless quest for destruction. Just Before Dawn (or Precis Innan Gryningen as the… Continue Reading →

Entrails – Raging Death (Metal Blade)

A jump to a major label is something most bands dream of and with Entrails; I must admit I was rather surprised. However, after producing some great releases in the past I am pretty excited about this album, even though… Continue Reading →

The Monolith Deathcult – Tetragrammaton (Season of Mist)

I’m tempted to say here we are again. Five years on since the sonic explosion that was Trivmvirate and the new album Tetragrammaton has landed. Let’s just clear up a couple of issues straight away. Yes, this is the same… Continue Reading →

Paganizer – World Lobotomy (Cyclone Empire)

Yes it is that man again Rogga Johansson, this time with one of his most long standing outfits Paganizer. Following on from ‘Into the Catacombs’ this sees the further expulsion of filthy old school death and crusty grind going nail… Continue Reading →

Kingdom – Morbid Priest of Supreme Blasphemy (Hellthrasher Productions)

“Morbid Priest of Supreme Blasphemy”… FUCK YEAH! Now that’s a death metal album title if ever I heard one. Polish death metal crew Kingdom do not fuck around with their album titles, or their music for that matter. However, these… Continue Reading →

Shade Empire – Omega Arcane (Candlelight)

Apart from picking the cream of home grown talent who most countries outside the UK at first see the name and think “who,” Candlelight do a good job of pulling bands that are a bit on the obscure side from… Continue Reading →
