Mausoleum – Defiling The Decayed (Moribund)

Apparently US act Mausoleum are “the infernal purveyors of Zombiecult Death Metal” and one could wonder just where they interred themselves for the last thirteen years after releasing second album ‘Back From The Funeral’ in 2011. Defiling The Decayed is… 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 →

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 →

Abysmal Winds – Magna Pestilencia (I Hate Records)

Titter ye not. We have all suffered the pestilence of Abysmal Winds at one time or another, that and the foul stench that accompanies them. At first glance one may assume that these three Swedes are still freshly soiling their… Continue Reading →

Necrophagia – Moribundis Grim (Time To Kill Records)

A posthumous release here and featuring the last vocal recordings of founder Killjoy who sadly shuffled off the The Beyond in 2018. Put together by the surviving band members along with some vocal help by Incantation’s John McEntee along with… Continue Reading →

Skeletal Remains – Fragments Of The Ageless (Century Media)

Some bands kind of blow up a bit and then you don’t really hear that much about them despite the fact their output is still consistent, strange really. Such is the case for Skeletal Remains, when I heard Devouring Mortality… Continue Reading →

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 →

Temple Of Scorn – Funeral Altar Epiphanies (Transcending Obscurity Records)

The name Temple Of Scorn may be new to you, as it was to me, but the band members within certainly aren’t as all the guys play in a raft of other more notable acts such as Horned Almighty, Bæst… Continue Reading →

Profanatica – Crux Simplex (Season Of Mist)

Bish, bash, bosh, blasphemy! That’s the short review and if you are looking for anything in the way of significant changes in the sacrilegious craft of this long serving USBM act you are not going to find them here. Historically… Continue Reading →

Incantation – Unholy Deification (Relapse Records)

There are few acts with a discography as consistent as this pioneering US death metal band. Pick any release throughout the bands near 35 year history and you’ll listen to some of the finest death metal the genre has to… 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 →
