Evoked – Immoral Arts (FDA Records)

Evoked are a German death metal band back with their latest EP. This band have made some solid ground over the years, with a trademark classic old school death metal sound. The vocals are very much in favour of early… Continue Reading →

Gatecreeper – Dark Superstition (Nuclear Blast)

Newsflash, Death Metal is cool again guys! Bands like 200 Stab Wounds, Frozen Soul, Fuming Mouth and Celestial Sanctuary appear to be paving some sort of new way. Towing a line between the modern and extremely popular Hardcore scene and… Continue Reading →

Unearthly Rites – Ecdysis (Prosthetic Records)

Utter filth! It should be banned. This is what Mary Whitehouse was trying to protect us from. She was right. Won’t someone think of the children!???? Don’t worry I have not taken leave of my senses and also, fear not… Continue Reading →

Baron – Beneath the Blazing Abyss (Transcending Obscurity)

Straight out of the mean streets of Helsinki come the five-piece of Finnish ear-manglers known as Baron. It turns out that this is their first album, after a smattering of Eps, a single and a demo since 2016. Their PR… Continue Reading →

Red Rot – Borders of Mania (Hammerheart Records)

The title sounds about right. I expected nothing but creative interpretations of extreme metal weirdness from former Ephel Duathers Davide Tiso and Luciano Lorusso George, who comprise half of this band. It was no surprise to read the promoter’s description… Continue Reading →

Necrophagia – Moribundis Grim (Time To Kill Records)

A posthumous release here and featuring the last vocal recordings of founder Killjoy who sadly shuffled off the The Beyond in 2018. Put together by the surviving band members along with some vocal help by Incantation’s John McEntee along with… Continue Reading →

Dååth – The Deceivers (Metal Blade)

“Fans will rejoice at the knowledge that this vital band has returned”, I read. I guess that counts me out because I knew almost nothing about this band. In fact shortly before I received this, I read a post by… Continue Reading →

Pentagram – Eternal Life of Madness (Listenable Records)

By full way of confession, this is the first Pentagram (Chile) album that I’ve heard. I know that they’ve been active since 1985, and have a horde of fans. It’s also clear that they’ve been a real influence on other… Continue Reading →

Terminal Nation – Echoes of the Devils Den (20 Buck Spin)

I say it all the time but it’s worth saying again – 20 Buck Spin has been killing it in the last few years. Quality release after quality release and always full of spite, big riffs and delicious nastiness. It’s… Continue Reading →

Crawl – Altar Of Disgust (Transcending Obscurity)

Six years down the line from their debut album Rituals, Sweden’s Crawl return with a new ‘un. Their Metal Archives page amusingly to me lists genre as ‘death metal’ and themes as ‘death’. So there you have it really. Nutshell…. Continue Reading →

Nokturnal – Shades of Night (Pulverised Records)

Romanticism, deathlike fantasies and world collapse – such are the images presented to us of death metal band Nokturnal from Indonesia. The horror element which is paraded conjures up Tribulation, to whose fans Nokturnal are said to appeal. In truth,… Continue Reading →

Deicide – Banished By Sin (Reigning Phoenix Music)

Kind of an interesting one to be reviewing following the controversy surrounding this album’s alleged AI artwork. A separate issue to the music perhaps but not a great start. A band like Deicide absolutely can and should support artists to… Continue Reading →
