This two piece band from Italy ventured across my path with their 2015 debut album ‘Endless Torment’ where I was introduced to this bands old school death metal style, that in truth I had heard many times before and done… Continue Reading →

Thornafire – Leprosario Lazareto (Great Dane Records)

My friend Russ, who’s en expat now living in Santiago, Chile, tells me that his adopted country is a hotbed of heavy metal bands. I’ve come to realise this myself from the number of albums by Chilean bands which have… Continue Reading →

Delyria – III: Oracles And Tentacles (Great Dane Records)

Those of you into your slasher movies will probably know that this Italian band has taken their name from the film Deliria released in 1987, though in English it was called Stage Fright, as plenty of bands have done the… Continue Reading →

Throne Of Flesh – Dust (Great Dane Records)

I have to admit that the cover art adorning this EP caught my eye, its disturbing imagery made me think about those petrified statues of Pompeii when Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D. The way those people were caught in a… Continue Reading →

Temple of Worms – Liber De Morbis (Great Dane Records)

French crew Temple of Worms hail from that bastion of all things death metal, that being – of course – um…Lyon. Still, while that region may not be best known for extreme metal, this is that band’s first full length… Continue Reading →

Post-Mortem – Monumental Pandemonium (Great Dane Records)

I was very tempted to criticise this French band’s moniker because there are absolutely loads of metal acts with the name Post Mortem, whether written as Postmortem or Post Mortem but they are the only act I found that hyphenated… Continue Reading →

Defechate – Unbounded (Great Dane Records)

Going in for albums such as today’s record is always quite a funny experience. In part I’m holding on to the days of constantly discovering top tier Death Metal. On the other hand I’m just going in for blind Extreme… Continue Reading →

Death From Above – Altered Dimension (Great Dane Records)

Information is rather scant on this relatively new French death metal act, except that from the very brief promo text this could be a sci-fi concept led album based around the loss of humanity which is nothing new of course… Continue Reading →
