Abiotic – Symbiosis (Metal Blade)

Formed in 2010, Abiotic released just one EP before signing with the legendary Metal Blade. Hailing from Florida, a great death metal shadow inevitably looms over this Miami five-piece; especially considering that what they do is conceived as technical/progressive death…. Continue Reading →

Antropomorphia – Evangelivm Nekromantia (Metal Blade Records)

One of the primary conundrums affecting this Dutch death metal troupe as they approached their sophomore album must have been how to top their debut’s cover art. Sporting, as it did, a shot of a lady’s peach, there’s not really… Continue Reading →

Zombified – ‘Carnage Slaughter and Death’ (Cyclone Empire)

Formed in 2006 by drinking buddies, Sweden’s Zombified released their debut, ‘Zombified Slaughtermachine’, in 2010. Having no knowledge of this band or their debut, I could at least glean from their name that death metal was the order of the… Continue Reading →

Warclouds – A Disturbing Presence (SR)

One look at the cover art and logo style and I was rather unimpressed it has to be said as this one man death metal project from Brazil has relocated to London and added new musicians (from Greece and Cyprus)… Continue Reading →

Grave + Vile + Sonne Adam – London Underworld 18/9/12

With most of the press stuck outside until just before Sonne Adam came on stage, one assumes that the two previous bands were suitably supported, but in any case, I was only really interested in a couple of the bands… Continue Reading →

Rocking Corpses – Rock ‘N’ Rott (Abyss Records)
