Atrocia – Contamination (Great Dane)

If you are looking for underground death metal from France it’s well worth keeping an eye on Great Dane Records who seem to be doggedly (sorry) unearthing no end of it at the moment. Atrocia are the latest example and… Continue Reading →

Arallu – Death Covenant (Hammerheart)

Although perhaps not as well-known as the likes of Salem and Orphaned Land outside their home country Arallu have been a consistent force over the last quarter of a century since they first declared ‘war on the wailing wall’ From… Continue Reading →

Dysgnostic – Scar Echoes (Transcending Obscurity)

Formally known as Defilementory, Danish Dissonant Death Metal troupe Dysgnostic have unleashed a new eight track album entitled ‘Scar Echoes’ through uber-prolific Indian label Transcending Obscurity Records. This marks the trio’s debut album under this guise and sees the band… Continue Reading →

Ingested – Ashes Lie Still (Metal Blade)

Manchester or Slamchester as it is known in slam death circles saw the arrival of Ingested in about 2006 and since then they have churned out a number of fine death metal albums and in some respects spearheaded the whole… Continue Reading →

Iron Flesh – Limb After Limb (War Anthem Records)

I had forgotten that I covered the last album by this French outfit ‘Summoning The Putrid’ a couple of years ago. That’s hardly surprising when you think of just how many “Irons” there are in the heavy metal fire; let’s… Continue Reading →

Exhumed – To The Dead (Relapse)

Incredible really to think that the fetid gentlemen from Exhumed have been plying their wares since 1990. Since that time, of course, they’ve had a lot of line-up changes, including members past and present from bands like Impaled, Intronaut and… Continue Reading →

Strychnos – A Mother’s Curse (Dark Descent)

Entitled ‘A Mother’s Curse’ and featuring eight gruelling odes of intensity and belligerence, and has been released… Continue Reading →

Defleshed – Grind Over Matter (Metal Blade)

As clever as the title is by this veteran death metal act, there have been a number of other bands using it either as album titles or song titles as this release is the band’s first since 2005’s ‘Reclaim The… Continue Reading →

9 Dead – 9 Dead (Comatose)

South New Jersey natives 9 Dead take their moniker in tribute to (or mockery of… I have no idea which) the nine victims of a mosh pit stampede that crushed nine people to death at a Pearl Jam show in… Continue Reading →

VHS – Deep Gashes and Long Lashes (HPGD)

Until today I never knew that such a thing existed. A perfect melding of 80’s horror synth and grisly Death/Grind that when activated produces one of the silliest and most heart warming spectacles that any self respecting gore fiend could… Continue Reading →

Soulslicer – Pandemic (Great Dane)

Bretagne based four piece Soulslicer formed in 2020 during the bleak days of Covid-19. Whilst under the constraints of global disease, the band used this time to create an album which could act like an alternate reality of sorts which… Continue Reading →

Devenial Verdict – Ash Blind (Transcending Obscurity)

In my opinion the term Brutal Death Metal gets bandied about a lot these days but the old school meaning of that term has been lost and it gets tagged on to a lot of Slam bands and Death Metal… Continue Reading →
