Macabre – Carnival Of Killers (Nuclear Blast)

It’s a pretty common thing I guess but do you ever have those bands that you just don’t like? You can’t put your finger on it, everything musically falls into place but you just don’t get it. For the longest… Continue Reading →

Slit Your Gods – Dogmatic Convictions Of Human Decrepitude (Comatose Music)

One look at the line up within this new Spanish technical death metal act and you see a wealth of experience honed to slaughterous surgical perfection within the bludgeoning realms of Arthropodal Humanicide, Ineffable Demise, Avgrunn and Fall Of Mankind… Continue Reading →

Xythlia – Immortality through Quantum Suicide (I, Voidhanger Records)

Promoted as “the perfect visionary soundtrack for … a brutal, mutant universe”, this album from US artist Nick Stanger promises an experimental and extreme metal experience. Extreme it is. Manic, screaming deathly outputs are matched with vocal roars and a… Continue Reading →

Stillbirth – Revive The Throne (Unique Leader)

I could not abide the Brutal Death scene at one point, I think in some respects I just took things too seriously. I mean I couldn’t stand the influence that Deathcore was having and I also had very little time… Continue Reading →

Exhumed / Gruesome -Twisted Horror (Relapse)

Splits are strange things, I’ve never been one to be particularly drawn to them unless I’m being a completist of a band’s discography, and even then I seldom listen to them. I do kind of think that there is an… Continue Reading →

Basement Torture Killings – Lessons In Murder (Bizarre Leprous Production)

I love shock in music, it’s probably one of the main draws for me and is reflected in my favourite artists as Alice Cooper takes a prime spot. Anything along the lines of Gwar, Lordi, Anal Cunt or even GG… Continue Reading →

Henry Kane – Age of the Idiot (Transcending Obscurity)

I reviewed Henry Kane’s (actually, the grind alias of Death Metal royalty Jonny Petersson) last album for this very publication, giving it a 7/10, though with more repeated listens, I should have awarded it an 8, as several of the… Continue Reading →

ACxDC – Satan Is King (Prosthetic Records)

It would be fair, to the uninitiated, to write off  a band with a moniker, that is so deliberately obtuse, decidedly antagonistic and damn right comedic, as a joke, non-serious, detritus that belongs in the same bucket of slop as… Continue Reading →

Benighted – Obscene Repressed (Season Of Mist)

It is fair to say that only in the last decade have French death grinders Benighted really truly come to worldwide attention since the release of the iconic and brilliant “Asylum Cave” in 2011, but if you step back a… Continue Reading →

WVRM – Colony Collapse (Prosthetic Records)

Hailing from Greenville, South Carolina, Grindcore four-piece WVRM, have been around for a while now, birthing a couple of split albums and a two full length efforts which, whilst not straying too far from the Grindcore playbook, offered enough distinguishable… Continue Reading →

Medium – S/T (Transcending Obscurity)

Although the label is based in India head honcho Kunal seems to spend no short amount of time trawling the globe and looking for the best of death and doom to release to a wider audience. Medium from Argentina are… Continue Reading →

Defiled – Infinite Regress (Season Of Mist)

I initially thought that this Japanese band was familiar to me only to find that I have not heard them before but after this album I will be checking out their back catalogue. This album captures the essence of brutal… Continue Reading →
