Temple of Worms – Liber De Morbis (Great Dane Records)

French crew Temple of Worms hail from that bastion of all things death metal, that being – of course – um…Lyon. Still, while that region may not be best known for extreme metal, this is that band’s first full length… Continue Reading →

Prometheus – Aornos (I, Voidhanger)

As if it’s not hot enough already, here we have something else of a fiery nature.  I can’t say I remembered Prometheus despite the fact last album ‘Resonant Echoes from Cosmos of Old’ had been covered by another on these… Continue Reading →

Tyrannos – Spears of the Aten (S/R)

Tyrannos are at their core, a three piece death metal unit who are built upon a foundation of arcane secrets, lore and mysteries with exotic and haunting compositions bringing forth some intensely atmospheric and immersive death metal. Thematically, you can… Continue Reading →

Defect Designer – Neanderthal (Transcending Obscurity)

Seventeen minutes of deathgrind. I did think of trying to keep this review to seventeen lines or writing it in seventeen minutes to show the same level of discipline but, alas I’m old and slow. The title track opens it… Continue Reading →

Vomit Forth – Seething Malevolence (Century Media)

I’m a bit of a sucker for New York area death metal. Following in the footsteps of Internal Bleeding and Pig Destroyer come Vomit Forth. Promising layers, the band has released a couple of demos, a couple of EP’s and… Continue Reading →

Teratoma – Purulent Manifestations (Avantgarde Music)

Sometimes, what you need is a short nasty and brutish release. That’s exactly what we have here from German death metallers Teratoma, with a 6 track mini CD that does exactly what it says on the tin. The PR sheet… Continue Reading →

Entrails – An Eternal Time Of Decay (Hammerheart Records)

There were a couple of bands called Entrails in Sweden back in the early 90s during the days when the ‘Swedeath’ sound was craved for and opposed the more clinical cleaner sound that was emanating from Morrisound Studios around the… Continue Reading →

Paganizer – Beyond The Macabre (Transcending Obscurity)

Four-piece deathmongers Paganizer seem to have been around for eternity and whilst the band has existed under this moniker since about 1999 it feels like they have been around since death metal emerged in the mid-80s. However, one thing is… Continue Reading →

Serpent Ascending – Hyperborean Folklore (I, Voidhanger Records)

You’d be hard pressed to find one-man project as effective and soul destroying as Jarno Nurmi’s Serpent Ascending who has also had his hands in other acts such as Slugathor, Desecresy and Nowen. With countless bands having the Serpent prefix… Continue Reading →

Werewolves – From the Cave to the Grave (Prosthetic)

Let me get this straight from the get go. I have always been a fan of werewolves, as in lycanthropes. When it comes to folklore and myths there is something about a curse turning a man or woman into a hairy bloodthirsty… Continue Reading →

Exanimatvm – Sollvm Ipsa Mor (Pulverised Records)

This is the second album by this Chilean band and I was promised abyssic hellhounds, ritual, fervent darkness, mystifying song structures, unease, dread and occultic (?) death metal. So, with hopes of waves of weirdness similar to The Axis Of… Continue Reading →

Sphere – Blood Era (Deformeathing Production)

Blood Era opens with ‘The Age Of Contempt’ which builds with an atmospheric grand musical score before the band kicks in with some brutal and technical uncompromising death metal. Blood Era is overall constructed of nine absolutely devastating and crushing… Continue Reading →
