Long before Wormrot became flagbearers for Singaporean extremity there was another warlord spearheading the campaign. Shyaithan and Impiety should need not introduction and that commanding grizzled warrior is an imposing force in both music and stature. Devouror formed back in… Continue Reading →
I’m just going to come out the gate with this, it’s bad. This eponymous EP is a big fat failure from new black metal band Pyra. There is extremely little background information about this band, the most I could really… Continue Reading →
I’ve attended plenty of gigs at the iconic Brudenell Social Club over the years but this three band package, as far as I can tell, is the first time I’ve seen a death metal show there. I’ve seen hardcore, black… Continue Reading →
Hussar are a three piece death metal band who pack some added doomy atmospheric sounds to give their music a fierce edge. Hailing from Toronto, Canada, the trio have been a unit since 2018 and already have a live album… Continue Reading →
Back on the slab and casting musical Y shaped incisions, everyone’s favourite revolting death metal surgeons return with their first full length album since 2015 release ‘Skull Grinder’. There has been one replacement since that outing with Greg Wilkinson the… Continue Reading →

A debut full length from Italy’s Spiral Wounds comprising a three piece of Patrizio (bass), Sandro (guitars, drum programming) and Tato (vocals) and I must admit I became very suspicious of the band using programmed drums as whilst they can… Continue Reading →
I’m assuming this split’s title alludes to the location of where the three bands hail from in Western Finland. With three tracks from each band all offering that Finnish way of delivering ugly filth infested death metal the split kicks… Continue Reading →
Few bands can evolve their sound album to album without any apparent effort involved to the extent which Revocation have managed. The sheer levels of refinement which have resulted in a high-intensity, progressive leaning, technical thrash metal behemoth are simply… Continue Reading →
Ah, another release from my favourite ‘located behind a restaurant’ label. Gentle jokes aside Transcending Obscurity seem to have a knack for finding quality and producing it so I thought I’d have a listen to Newcastle’s Live Burial who though… Continue Reading →
