Abschwörzunge – Whorl (I, Voidhanger)

Not much info seems to be available on this new project although we are informed it is an international entity. The rather long word of their name seems to translate to “Slur” and narratively here we are dealing with themes… Continue Reading →

Shaarimoth – Devildom (World Terror Committee)

I quite enjoyed this Norwegian band’s previous album, ‘Temple Of The Adversarial Fire’ which I reviewed for the site back in 2017. I suspect the reason behind the inconsistent release rate is down to a couple of members being in… Continue Reading →

Morgue – Close To Complete Darkness (Godz Ov War)

As you can probably imagine there are dozens of bands with the band name Morgue spanning the entire globe but this version is from France is possibly one of the more well known since they have released four albums previous… Continue Reading →

Gurkkhas – A Life of Suffering (Great Dane Records)

This is old school Death Metal from Brittany. Old School in the sound – reminiscent of Immolation, Malevolent Creation, Cannibal Corpse and even Death in parts. It is also old school in that this album is a compilation of two… Continue Reading →

Sijjeel – Affiliation Of Horrid Containment (Comatose Music)

My attention to this band originally materialised because the main guy, Hussain Akbar, is from Saudi Arabia, a place not really known for its extreme metal bands. Granted he is ably assisted by a couple of guys from Germany and… Continue Reading →

SoulCarrion – Enthrone Death (Godz Ov War)

Poland’s Soul Carrion is two piece outfit hailing from Warsaw and since forming in 2019 have released a full length titled ‘Infernal Agony’ and a self-titled EP which I reviewed for the site in 2023. Nearly one year later and… Continue Reading →

Saevus Finis – Facilis Descensus Averno (Transcending Obscurity)

The prolific Transcending Obscurity label is a byword for death metal productions, and here’s another one, this time by Saevus Finis from Portugal. The points of reference for this “chest-bursting heaviness” and “dark, hypnotic and suffocating death metal’ are bands… Continue Reading →

Soulcarrion – Soulcarrion (Godz Ov War)

It has taken just over a year for the second release to emerge from this Polish band but instead of an album we have a four track EP that contains three new songs and one tune from the album ‘Infernal… Continue Reading →

Ascended Dead – Evenfall Of The Apocalypse (20 Buck Spin)

In the intervening six years between this US band’s debut, ‘Abhorrent Manifestation’ and this sophomore the band has released two splits, a demo, a live album and a box set, meaning the band has been busy despite the half decade… Continue Reading →

Toughness – The Prophetic Dawn (Godz Ov War)

Formed in 2020 the first release of this Polish outfit was their ‘Prophecy’ demo out in early 2022, a release as hideous as any you’re likely to hear in death metal as the band unveils their debut full length. All… Continue Reading →

Beyond Mortal Dreams – Abomination Of The Flames (Lavadome Productions)

In one form or another this Australian band has been around for over two decades having previously been called Suffering, the intervening years since changing to this current moniker didn’t yield any releases until 2004, some eight to nine years… Continue Reading →

Immolation – Acts Of God (Nuclear Blast)

‘Acts Of God’ starts with a brief intro track, ‘Abandoned’, which is delivered with a sultry, moody doodle before more six strings join the fray and almost tango in unison with the established musical score, creating a foreboding and atmospheric… Continue Reading →
