Replacire – The Center That Cannot Hold (Season Of Mist)

I’m surprised I’ve not heard of or stumbled across this US technical death metal band since they formed in 2010 and released a debut in 2012. Bands like this usually cross my path at some point during my trawls for… Continue Reading →

Abysmal Winds – Magna Pestilencia (I Hate Records)

Titter ye not. We have all suffered the pestilence of Abysmal Winds at one time or another, that and the foul stench that accompanies them. At first glance one may assume that these three Swedes are still freshly soiling their… Continue Reading →

Ulcerate – Cutting The Throat Of God (Debemur Morti)

The journey of Ulcerate has been a fascinating one. The trio from New Zealand formed at the turn of the millennium, and can boast a consistent line-up since 2008s sophomore album “Everything Is Fire”. This stability has enabled the incremental… Continue Reading →

Cadaverous Condition – Never Arrive, Never Return (The Circle Music)

I bought Cadaverous Condition’s 2001 album “The Lesser Travelled Seas” after they impressed me live. It’s a good album with its grainy death metal and folksy moments, so it got another deserved listen before I got going with this one…. Continue Reading →

Shamash – Done with Misery (Nos Pergamos in Domine Saluteum) (Rottweiler Records)

Here, for me at least, is today’s mystery band. There was a chance that I might have known this band as Shamash are from Malaysia, but I didn’t, and nor to my surprise did my well-connected Malaysian musician friend Leon… Continue Reading →

Severe Torture – Torn From The Jaws Of Death (Season Of Mist)

A band with underground praise and status Severe Torture are figureheads of the Dutch Death Metal scene. My first introduction to them was through their last record Slaughtered way back in 2010. Their first two full lengths are also often… Continue Reading →

Fates Of Death – Stuck For Slaughter (Grave Embrace Records)

This is the debut album for the trio from Wisconsin. and it’s a slightly eclectic batch of songs. Guitarist/vocalist Sean Fitzpatrick, bassist Ben Stueve and drummer Shane Olivo certainly have their own style and while you can hear the thrash… Continue Reading →

House By The Cemetary – The Mortuary Hauntings (Pulverised Records)

“It’s Rogga time,” but let’s face it when is it not? With so many bands on the go Mr Johansson is normally kicking about somewhere or the other. I decided due to the ties with Luci Fulci, naming themselves after… Continue Reading →

Cutterred Flesh – Love at First Bite (Transcending Obscurity)

These Czech Brutal Death Metallers have been around for nearly a quarter of a century though I have not heard of them making their record label name strangely accurate. This is the bands 6th album and the third in 6 years,… Continue Reading →

Strychnos – Armageddon Patronage (Dark Descent)

The PR muttered something about Danish band Strychnos being bound to no god, master or genre which amusingly is binding itself to a cliché by now. But nowt to do with band or album. So… not having heard their 2022… Continue Reading →

Göden – Vale Of The Fallen (Svart Records)

Well Göden basically is the collaboration of ‘Spacewinds’ (a certain Stephen Flam of legendary slow-mo deathsters Winter) with ‘Nyxta’ (Vas Kallas of indusrial/goth duo Hanzel Und Gretyl) and ex-Winter session keyboardist Tony Pinnisi. And if you’re guessing ‘so this is… Continue Reading →

Botanist – Paleobotany (Prophecy Productions)

Paleobotany is Botanist’s 12th album yet I had not heard of them. It would appear that my knowledge of plant focussed avant-garde metal was lacking until very recently. Let’s not dwell on the past though eh? Actually, let’s do just… Continue Reading →
