Incantation – Profane Nexus (Relapse)

There aren’t many bands like Incantation. For nearly thirty years they’ve been at the vanguard of the underground death metal scene and, to me at least, they’ve never disappointed. Sure some albums are better than others but I can honestly… Continue Reading →

Father Befouled – Desolate Gods (Dark Descent)

It’s all very well playing fast and brutal, and indeed doing both things better than anyone else (like my beloved Cannibal Corpse), but sometimes you want a bit more…. “hideousness”,  a bit more “damp dungeon” a bit more “impending dread”… Continue Reading →

Kalopsia – Angelplague (Horror Pain Gore Death)

Right first things first, I thought “kalopsia” would be the name of some sort of bum-disease or something. But no. I was wrong. According to my dictionary in means “a state or delusion in which things appear more beautiful than… Continue Reading →

Inexorable – Sea Of Dead Consciousness (Godz Ov War)

This is the third of 3 EP’s released by Inexorable between 2008 and 2015 and originally came out via Unholy Prophecies on limited- edition cassette with just 200 copies. Obviously Polish label Godz Ov War found the duo from Germany… Continue Reading →

The Monolith Deathcult – Versus (Hammerheart Records)

If you have ever given this Dutch band a listen you will know that they do not stick to any tried and tested formula for writing songs even with their earlier material which was purely death metal oriented. With five… Continue Reading →

Morast – Ancestral Void (Totenmusik / Ván Records)

I have previously mentioned in my review of the Venenum album that Germany has fast become a major force within the death metal scene as another act vies for prominence. The band’s debut demo in 2015 was a crawling insidious… Continue Reading →

Immolation – Atonement (Nuclear Blast)

Immolation are a band who have truly stood the test of time in the death metal realm. With 2017 marking their 29th year in the business, the quintessential thinking man’s extreme band definitely do not disappoint with their tenth full… Continue Reading →

Shaarimoth – Temple Of The Adversarial Fire (World Terror Committee)

Judging by the band name and the fact this band is from Norway one would assume that this is a black metal band. An assumption that proves unfounded on this sophomore following a debut called “Current 11” released over a… Continue Reading →

Escarnium – Interitus (Testimony Records)

I’ve never heard any of Escarnium’s previous material but that is gonna change after living with this album for a while. Forming in 2008, the Brazilian quartet has only released one previous album and a couple of EPs and splits. … Continue Reading →

Demonic Obedience – Nocturnal Hymns To The Fallen (Satanath Records)

George Ntavelas (from Greece but now residing in the UK) is the sole member behind Demonic Obedience delivering a blackened death metal sophomore that drowns you in a viscous malevolent assault. Opening with “Create The Shapeless” the gentle guitar work… Continue Reading →

Hadit – Introspective Contemplation Of The Microcosmos (Terror From Hell)

On seeing that this was from 2015 I got ready to berate its tardy arrival on the arrival pile but promptly forgave them when I saw it had an initial 150 copies cassette run and wished I had one. This… Continue Reading →

Hellspawn – There Has Never Been A Son Of Me (Old Temple)

Getting a one word band name that is unique is nigh on impossible these days as this Polish version of Hellspawn is without doubt one of the most savage around as they batter the world with their third album which… Continue Reading →
