Os – Tehom (Godz Ov War)

This album by Hungarian band Os actually came out in 2022 originally but this cassette version was kindly sent to us by Godz Ov War with a couple of other more recent ones; reviews to follow. So as resident tape… Continue Reading →

WolfBrigade – Life Knife Death (Metal Blade)

Wipe yourself down. Strap yourself in. I hope you have been to the bog coz Wolfbrigade are back to drag you by the short and curlies through all the dirt and filth 2024 have to offer. They have been kicking… Continue Reading →

APEP – Before Whom Evil Trembles (War Anthem Records)

Well the name Apophis was already claimed so this German band adopted the other moniker for the “great serpent-god of chaos in ancient Egyptian mythology.” Considering the theme and the fact that they play death metal you possibly have a… Continue Reading →

Deceased – Children of the Morgue (Hell’s Headbangers)

Deceased really are the definition of a “cult” band. They’ve been plying their foetid trade now since 1985, and while many metal heads will be au fait with their name, I wonder how many have taken the step to actually… Continue Reading →

Fleshgod Apocalypse – Opera (Nuclear Blast)

This album may never have come to pass, and that fateful day in the Italian Apennines 3 years ago this week is also the inspiration for much of what we have here today. While hanging upside down with several fractures… Continue Reading →

Concrete Winds – Concrete Winds (Sepulchral Voice Records)

You kind of know what you’re getting when a band is named Concrete Winds. For starters it’s a great name and secondly you know it’s going to be heavy as all hell. Having reviewed the bands second record Nerve Butcherer… Continue Reading →

Absence of the Sacred – IV: The Hand that Wounds (S/R)

“An uncompromising death metal record, a crushing swansong for the failing capitalist system” – this is our introduction to this fourth album release by Absence of the Sacred. It’s been a while since the last one: “Come Hither O Herald… Continue Reading →

Atrae Bilis – Aumicide (20 Buck Spin)

Let me be honest here, when I received the list of albums available for review from He Who Must Be Obeyed (Pete) I was drawn to Atrae Bilis by the label who put this out rather than any description of… Continue Reading →

Mausoleum – Defiling The Decayed (Moribund)

Apparently US act Mausoleum are “the infernal purveyors of Zombiecult Death Metal” and one could wonder just where they interred themselves for the last thirteen years after releasing second album ‘Back From The Funeral’ in 2011. Defiling The Decayed is… Continue Reading →

Morgue – Close To Complete Darkness (Godz Ov War)

As you can probably imagine there are dozens of bands with the band name Morgue spanning the entire globe but this version is from France is possibly one of the more well known since they have released four albums previous… Continue Reading →

Monument of Misanthropy – Vile Postmortem Irrumatio (Transcending Obscurity)

Sometimes you listen to something and while the subject matter may be truly grotesque and the stuff of nightmares, it’s still fiction and takes the edge off slightly. Granted you’re having a glimpse into someone’s depravity, but since it’s fantasy… Continue Reading →

Fulci – Duck Face Killings (20 Buck Spin)

NB: contains descriptions likely to cause offence. Keep repeating, “it’s only a review, it’s only a review!” It probably comes as no surprise to anyone that having previously tackled Zombie Flesh Eaters and City Of The Living Dead, Fulci would… Continue Reading →
