The Morningside – Letters From The Empty Towns (BadMoodMan)

I’ve been a fan of Moscow based doomsters The Morningside from the very first time I heard them, as they absolutely hit the sweet spot when it comes to my love of gothic doom. Building off some severe Katatonia and… Continue Reading →

Deconstructing Sequence – Access Code (S/R)

Following closely to last year’s 3 track EP ‘Year One’ comes the second EP from extreme progression experts Deconstructing Sequence. This time they only serve us with two tracks (clocking in at around 16 minutes in total runtime), but what… Continue Reading →

Goatwhore – Constricting Rage Of The Merciless (Metal Blade)

The NOLA (New Orleans, Louisiana) scene has been positively thriving this year, with new offerings from Down, Crowbar, Eyehategod and now Goatwhore have joined the takeover with their sixth slice of groovy filth “Constricting Rage Of The Merciless”. For those… Continue Reading →

Unaussprechlichen Kulten – Baphomet Pan Shub-Niggurath (Iron Bonehead)

With a moniker like that, you’d expect a Germanic entity to be behind ‘Baphomet Pan Shub-Niggurath’. Instead, Unaussprechlichten Kulten are a Chilean mob inspired by an H.P. Lovecraft story of the same name. As I have no familiarity with the… Continue Reading →

Cannabis Corpse – From Wisdom to Baked (Season of Mist)

When I first discovered Cannabis Corpse a few years ago, I was under the impression that they were a parody band who changed song titles and lyrics of Cannibal Corpse songs to cater for the diehard stoners who enjoy death… Continue Reading →

De Profundis – Frequencies (S/R)

This London-based band made a positive impact at the recent Incineration Festival with their energetic display of technical blackened death metal. “Frequencies”, their latest four track EP following three album releases since 2007, features material from their set on that… Continue Reading →

Waxen – Agios Holokauston (Moribund)

This is the long awaited sophomore album from one man, black metal-ish project Waxen. I must admit that Waxen are a new name to me, but having dug a little deeper, it is no surprise that there has been 7… Continue Reading →

Daemonheim – Tidian (Naturmacht)

Daemonheim are a new name to me and this is only their second album, but many a gem has been discovered like this etc etc. Apparently these Germans peddle a sound blending black, death, folk and ‘even non metal genres’… Continue Reading →

We Are The Damned – Doomvirate (Lifeforce)

Portuguese band We Are The Damned have done three albums prior to this one all apparently on Raging Planet Records based in their own country. Chances are therefore unless you live there it’s likely that they are as new to… Continue Reading →

Electrocution – Metaphysincarnation (GoreGorecords)

Italians Electrocution return after years in the wilderness with their second full length album ‘Metaphysincarnation’, which for me is already a front runner for the ‘most difficult album to pronounce when drunk’ award for 2014. Having been known mainly for… Continue Reading →

Lord Mantis – Death Mask (Profound Lore)

The last album by Lord Mantis 2012 release ‘Pervertor’ was a rancid, vile seething mass of corrosive guitar work and scathing vocals so as soon as this appeared I was quick to grab it and throw it on my review… Continue Reading →

Loudblast – Burial Ground (Listenable)

Churning out some of the best in European deathly thrash for nearly thirty years – legendary French crew Loudblast are back with ‘Burial Ground’ – their seventh studio album and debut release for Listenable Records. If you’re not familiar with… Continue Reading →
