Most of the time when we get things from the Quebec region of Canada it is the areas own authentic take on black metal. This time however it’s doom and its death all in one slab. The band have even… Continue Reading →
Formed in 2013, Heavydeath was created with one refreshingly unpretentious objective: to create no frills “heavy death” music. And so far the Swedish trio – who boast a wealth of experience in more frantic bands including Runemagick, Sacrementum and Necrocurse… Continue Reading →
The French have a habit of throwing curveballs into whatever purist theme tries to assert itself in extreme metal but, even by Gallic standards, Decline Of The I is a CD-sized can of worms. First of all, this is a… Continue Reading →
The sophomore offering by this French trio is as raw as it is extreme. The stripped down sound, buzzing guitars and hyper fast drumming are reminiscent of early 90’s black metal, but with the occasional melody thrown in for good… Continue Reading →
When the reviews list containing this came in, I had no idea of who Horrendous were. So imagine the guilt I felt upon learning that numerous AN contributors – who evidently did have an idea – were clamouring for it…. Continue Reading →

This is album number four from Chilean death metal crew Thornafire, but the very first time I have had the opportunity to check them out. South American death metal usually gets the blood pumping through a bludgeoning non-stop ferocity, and… Continue Reading →
I was surprised to see that Dutch death metallers Antropomorphia are 25 year veterans of the scene given that I had never come across them before. Long term devotees of the death, sex and gore unholy triumvirate that provides the… Continue Reading →
Shock horror, here we have a band who have plundered J.R.R. Tolkein’s much ravished chest for their name and they do not play black metal! If you are looking for that go track down an obscure demo by German pagan… Continue Reading →
These Germans appear to have had a bit of a tumultuous past: starting out in 2004, releasing two EPs, splitting up (losing members with names like Randy Rots in the process) and reforming. But alas, after ten years of waiting… Continue Reading →
