Rituals Of The Dead Hand – The Wretched And The Vile (Immortal Frost Productions)

Clearly I’ve been sleeping on ROTDH as despite three albums in six years this is my introduction to this member of The Nox Entity collective. A quick scan of the members indicates pretty much what I would very respectfully call… Continue Reading →

Morbid Saint – Swallowed By Hell (High Roller Records)

A quick bit of research can help put to rest the alleged claims that Morbid Saint toured with Death, which ironically is what they have garnered a degree of their cult following from. In actuality the band only played a… Continue Reading →

Sadus – The Shadow Inside (Nuclear Blast)

Sadus is one of those bands that I heard for the first time in ’90-91 and thought were a little too extreme for my tastes, at the time. By the time the members had their stints in Death, Dragonlord, Testament,… Continue Reading →

Crypta – Shades Of Sorrow (Napalm)

Brazilian Death Metal four piece Crypta are back with their second full length album ‘Shades Of Sorrow’, a 52 minute journey through the depths of the human psyche which zeroes in on the struggles in life we may face and… Continue Reading →

Besta – Terra Em Desapego (Lifeforce Records)

The band name wasn’t familiar to me but I could see that Besta have been pumping out death-grindcore for more than 10 years and that this is their fourth album release. I can also see that three of the members… Continue Reading →

Lurk – Aegis (Transcending Obscurity)

Name checking some of the most awesome death metal bands in the PR material had me wanting to hear this. This is a project born during the pandemic, old school death metal akin to Massacre, Death, Cancer and Bolt Thrower,… Continue Reading →

German label Prophecy Productions / Lupus Lounge brings you a fascinating two track split release featuring two Black/Death/Doom Metal bands, US one man outfit Tchornobog, and from the UK, fellow one man project Abyssal. A two track split this may… Continue Reading →

Devouror – Diabolos Brigade (Listenable)

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 →

King Dude – Death (Ván Records)

TJ Cowgill has made no secret of the fact that King Dude would eventually come to an end. With a career spanning more than a decade, and a discography that boasts two releases for every year of that, he has… Continue Reading →

Heaving Earth – Darkness Of God (Lavadome Productions)

I picked up on this Czech band in 2015 with their excellent ‘Denouncing The Holy Throne’ album, a truly hideous atramentous release with disturbing qualities within its dense death metal foundations. This third album continues in a similar vein and… Continue Reading →

Sentient Horror – Rites of Gore (Testimony Records)

It was really the end of the eighties before I started to become aware of death metal proper. I was a thrash kid through that period (and beyond), being primarily a big fan of the big four and the British… Continue Reading →
