Ulcerate – Cutting The Throat Of God (Debemur Morti)

The journey of Ulcerate has been a fascinating one. The trio from New Zealand formed at the turn of the millennium, and can boast a consistent line-up since 2008s sophomore album “Everything Is Fire”. This stability has enabled the incremental… Continue Reading →

Vertebra Atlantis – A Dialogue With The Eeriest Sublime (I, Voidhanger)

Here we have an album for those who don’t like their music to stagnate and stand still. This trio from Italy include G.G. from Cosmic Putrefaction, Summit and The Clearing Path in their ranks and make a strange sound which… Continue Reading →

Widow’s Peak – Claustrophobe (S/R)

This is the debut album from Widow’s Peak, a band which has been around since 2016. Technical progressive death metal is the declared style. It’s for fans of Beyond Creation, Atheist and Gorguts, they say. Yep. The opener is a… Continue Reading →

Dischordia – Triptych (Transcending Obscurity)

With a couple of albums and a few EPs already out this third album by US band Dischordia is likely to divide the technical death metal world, purely because the album is so off the wall that describing it with… Continue Reading →

Kadavereich – Radiance Of Doom (Godz Of War)

Whilst the unprovoked and illegal invasion of Ukraine has led to carte blanche xenophobia in some circles, I believe that shunning all things Russian does nothing to bridge the divisions sown by so-called “leaders”. I hope that the citizens of… Continue Reading →

Acausal Intrusion – Nulitas (I, Voidhanger Records)

Old School Death Metal is the plat du jour at many an extremist fan’s table at the moment. It’s as if 1980’s Florida has descended on the world’s young in a flurry of hi-tops dragging a Swedish exchange student along… Continue Reading →

Ad Nauseam – Imperative Imperceptible Impulse (Avantgarde)

This is Ad Nauseam’s second album following their 2015 debut “Nihil Quam Vacuitas Ordinatum Est”. This technical death metal band from Italy has been going for 18 or so years, having previously been called Death Heaven and before that Kaos…. Continue Reading →

Deeds Of Flesh – Nucleus (Unique Leader)

I promise I don’t just listen to Tech/ Brutal Death Metal. I’m known in some circles as the Slam King a title which I would claim above Ingested (sorry Jay Evans). However, there is more to me than the Slam…. Continue Reading →

Xasraug – Unsympathetic Empyrean (Repose Records)

Well, you should certainly recognise the artwork adorning the cover of this but what is that indecipherable band logo? Xasraug, right, ok. Now what about Indricothere the musician, surely not a hornless rhinoceros making all this noise? So, behind that… Continue Reading →

Horror God – Cursed Seeds (Lavadome)

While this may be the third album by this Russian quartet and their first full length on their current label, it’s the brand of aggressive death metal they deliver that should have had them noticed a lot longer ago. Or… Continue Reading →

Sabbath Assembly – A Letter Of Red (Svart)

A decade old and with a wealth of ideas soaking into their world both musically and thematically Sabbath Assembly have grown into one of the more interesting bands around and every new release has something different about it. They started… Continue Reading →

Moss Upon The Skull – In Vengeful Reverence (I, Voidhanger Records)

I’d never heard of Moss Upon The Skull prior to being sent this. Cool name, cool artwork. I was salivating at the thought of some Autopsy-like, grimey death metal as I hit “play”. Would these Belgians get my head banging… Continue Reading →
