Wombbath – Downfall Rising (Dark Descent)

Twenty-two years after their brilliant debut ‘Internal Caustic Torments’ arrived, at long last Sweden’s Wombbath are back with another slab of unadulterated death metal. Perhaps what distinguished these guys from many of their native contemporaries was the clear homage to… Continue Reading →

Shroud Of The Heretic – Unorthodox Equilibrium (Iron Bonehead)

Death Metal power trio, Shroud Of The Heretic from Portland, Oregon return with their chaotic astral and bestial musical assault for their second full length release “Unorthodox Equilibrium”. With themes and inspiration drawn from Nature, Mysticism, Forbidden Gnosticism, Alchemy, Astralism… Continue Reading →

Undead – Blood Enemy (S/R)

This 7” vinyl turned up a couple of weeks ago and I really found information about the band’s origins difficult to come by. They are represented on the internet well enough but were not up on metal archives that I… Continue Reading →

Interview – All Pigs Must Die

Since signing to Southern Lord back in 2011 All Pigs Must Die have gone from strength to strength, with 2013’s ‘Nothing Violates This Nature’ gaining popularity of a monstrous magnitude. Housing members from the likes of Converge and The Hope… Continue Reading →

Entrails – Obliteration (Metal Blade)

Chainsaw ‘Boss HM-2’ pedal guitar sound? Frantic D-beat drums? Guttural vocals akin to Autopsy’s Chris Reifert vomiting up his own oesophagus? Yep, it’s old-school Swedish ‘dØdsmetal’ time it seems and Entrails are certainly unwavering in their commitment to sonic aesthetics… Continue Reading →

GhUSa – 25 Years of Death Metal (Great Dane)

GhUSa hail from France and have been treading the boards of the extreme metal underground since forming in 1989. However they only have one full length album to their name (2006’s ‘Letter to my Son’(s)’), and a number of Eps… Continue Reading →

Obscure Infinity – Perpetual Descending Into Nothingness (FDA Rekotz)

Some so-called `old school death metal’ is very self consciously archaic and primitive, desperately trying to achieve that retrogressive sound. Not so Obscure Infinity, who with their third album, have crafted a raging, crushing opus which absolutely screams `death metal’,… Continue Reading →

Bloodbath – Grand Morbid Funeral (Peaceville)

It’s like the old school network who used to be a bunch of debauched badly behaved upstarts who have now gone on to respectable jobs getting back one more time to reminisce and try and get back in the groove… Continue Reading →

Entombed A.D. The Graviators & Diesel King – London Underworld 14/11/14

It’s a bit unfortunate but ailments and injuries have forced both Corrupt Moral Altar and Hang The Bastard off tonight’s bill and we wish them speedy recoveries. Stepping in at the nth hour are Diesel King, a name I have… Continue Reading →

Interview – Execration

For those who misguidedly believe death metal to be a one dimensional form of music I present Norway’s Execration. Their third album, the aptly titled ‘Morbid Dimensions’, blew me away when I received it for review a couple of weeks… Continue Reading →

Temple Of Void – Of Terror And Supernatural (Rain Without End)

Hailing from Detroit, death metal doomster’s Temple of Void bring a despair filled heavy offering full of atmosphere and intensity to the altar for their debut. Made up of members from Acid Witch and Hellmouth, this 51 minute long slice… Continue Reading →

Stam1na – SLK (Sakara Records)

Sometimes when people talk to you there’s loads of words coming out but none of them say anything. That was kind of like the press blurb for this band. It says lots about how big they are in their home… Continue Reading →
