Slaughterday – Cosmic Horror (FDA Rekotz)

This 4-track demo will be released as a very limited tape version (166 copies) so if you want the physical article you will need to get in quick as most are sold out via pre-order. But have no fear; this… Continue Reading →

Okular – Sexforce (Regenerative Records)

‘Sexforce’. Pretty rape-y name for an album isn’t it? Well, there’s nothing sexy about this band, but they can be pretty forceful in their approach of proggy, deathly metal. Actually, I take the sexy thing back – some of their… Continue Reading →

Lithotome – ST (Fall Of Nature)

Me and my big mouth. On reviewing the recent 4 way USBM split New World Black Metal I accused the Krieg track of being a bit on the melodic side. If I had known that main-man Imperial was at the… Continue Reading →

Tormented – Death Awaits (Listenable Records)

We lost Dismember, we’ve recently lost or will be losing later this year Vomitory…Tormented have the right style and persona to follow in their footsteps although I will refrain from saying that they could replace them, we are not quite… Continue Reading →

Krysantemia – Lay Down Forever (New Idols)

Italian’s Krysantemia were formed in 2009 by the Secchi brothers, Alessandro & Lucio, with their line up completed by guitarist Alex Ruggeri and vocalist Davide Puccini. Soon after getting together, they self released their debut album “This is Resurrection” which… Continue Reading →

Unborn Generation – Island (SR)

Society, Modernity, Death. What an excellent lyrical style for a band Finnish ingenuity meets Crust/Punk/Noise melodies and the carnage begins. Unborn Generation’s ”Island” must be one of the most powerful releases I’ve listened to, since I joined the zine. Finnish… Continue Reading →

The Beyond – Frostbitepanzerfuck (HPGD Productions)

Ah we have not had one of these for a while, an album with a fuck off tank on the cover that is! If you take that along with the album title you are probably expecting something war-torn and nasty… Continue Reading →

Portal – Vexovoid (Profound Lore)

Look at that cover. That is a death metal album cover. Not some gore-grind pathetic rape fantasy, but a “Death Metal Album Cover.” You see that and you expect anvil pounding, brutal as fuck, heavy as Suffocation death metal. And… Continue Reading →

Necocurse – Grip Of The Dead (Pulverised)

“Hellbutcher?! Is that you?” are my first thoughts as the debut album of Swedish death metal upstarts Necrocurse blasts from my brand new stereo. Surely there’s only one vocalist so interchangeable and recognizable at the same time… it’s glorious beyond… Continue Reading →

Neaera – Ours Is The Storm (Metal Blade)

Often tarnished incorrectly, and being honest fucking annoyingly, as a metal core outfit Germany’s Neaera continue to unleash top quality modern death metal on the world as this their sixth album shows no signs of wavering in the creativity department…. Continue Reading →

Abriosis – Vessel ( SR)

When I unpacked the CD and read the leaflet, I thought, that my review was as good as done. The Canadian Deathsters, Abriosis, have a killer lineup and recently joining them in the most male dominated music is singer Alxs… Continue Reading →

Krypts – Unending Degradation (Dark Descent Records)

Sometimes an album cover can tell you everything you need to know about a band’s music. In the case of Finland’s Krypts, this is most certainly the case. A dark, imposing valley set in relief by swathes of ominous red… Continue Reading →
