Absence of the Sacred – IV: The Hand that Wounds (S/R)

“An uncompromising death metal record, a crushing swansong for the failing capitalist system” – this is our introduction to this fourth album release by Absence of the Sacred. It’s been a while since the last one: “Come Hither O Herald… Continue Reading →

Devouror – Diabolos Brigade (Listenable)

Long before Wormrot became flagbearers for Singaporean extremity there was another warlord spearheading the campaign. Shyaithan and Impiety should need not introduction and that commanding grizzled warrior is an imposing force in both music and stature. Devouror formed back in… Continue Reading →

Blood Chalice – The Blasphemous Psalms Of Cannibalism (Werewolf Records)

Finland’s Blood Chalice have absolutely no subtleties whatsoever, you’ve only to listen the band’s debut ‘Sepulchral Chants Of Self-Destruction’, released in 2017, to realise that. Their unhinged savagery tears you apart and continues with this sophomore album with a promo… Continue Reading →

Non Est Deus – Impiety (Avantgarde Music)

That’ll teach me not to do my research. I was very taken with the debut album by WW1 obsessed blackened death metal band Kanonenfieber but neglected to dig and it appears Non Es Deus are the gent by the moniker… Continue Reading →

Svpremacist – Meaningless Death (Repose Records)

Israel’s Svpremacist typify how black metal felt and sounded over three decades ago, their primal proto black annihilation has that dangerous feel, rancid, putrid riffing, a raucous production and savaging vocals are all at the core of this act, whose… Continue Reading →

Xeper – Ad Numen Satanae (Soulseller Records)

With a guitarist formerly of Setherial and Impiety and now bass player for Gorgoroth, Italian black metal Xeper are now releasing their fourth album. Stylistically, this is a mixed bag. On the one side, it’s got the air of a… Continue Reading →

Wardaemonic – Acts Of Repentance (Transcending Obscurity)

Not being familiar with this lot from Australia other than knowing they have put out a few albums, I was kind of expecting some rabid bestial filth somehow. What I got however whilst no less aggressive was…more focussed. The album… Continue Reading →

Impiety – Verses All Gods (Evil Dead Productions / Shivadarshana)

It seems a fair few bands are crawling out the woodwork having not released a full-length album for a fair while this year and it is a pleasure to welcome back Singapore war machine Impiety who we last heard from… Continue Reading →

Kapala – Termination Apex (Dunkelheit Productions)

For those of you who didn’t catch my review of Kapala’s debut EP Infest Cesspool, here’s the highlights: Aaaaaaaaaaaggggggggguuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Basically Kapala don’t fuck around. This is bestial war metal of the most fucked up order. Ultra-guttural, ultra-brutal, grinding blackened noise…. Continue Reading →

Deiphago – I, The Devil (Hells Headbangers)

Blackened Death Metal, can there be a more pure genre? A marriage of perfect proportions bringing together all that is good from the underground and merging these two scenes in seamless harmony. However I can’t say I’ve always been the… Continue Reading →

Nightmare A.D. – Phantoms of Our Ruin (Tenzenmen Records)

My knowledge of Cambodian metal can be written on the back of a postage stamp. In fact Nightmare A.D. is the only Cambodian band I could name. What I do know is that Nightmare A.D.’s instigator Mia Priest is a… Continue Reading →

Devouror – Slay For Satan (Metal Zone)

New year, new EP, new band. Fresh start and all that. Well, I say fresh but this fetid blast of ‘bestial deathcult warfare’ is not exactly the sweet smelling air of some Norwegian forest. Nah, this is a short three… Continue Reading →
