Engulfed – Engulfed In Obscurity (Hellthrasher Productions)

This Turkish death metal band features members of Burial Invocation and Decaying Purity and play a dirty form of death metal akin to Incantation, Funerus and Funebrarum. At times things verge into blackened styles with some of the haunting riffs… 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 →

Grotesque Ceremonium – Demonic Inquisition (Satanath)

This is a one man (Batu Çetin) project from Turkey, its old sounding death metal with a heavy bass presence which I find similar to the early DM scene, from all quarters of the world. For that I am thinking… Continue Reading →

Epidemia – Leprocomio (Satanath Records)

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 →

Degial – Savage Mutiny (Sepulchral Voice)

Formed in 2006, Sweden’s satanic death horde Degial gained much praise for their debut album, 2012’s ‘Death’s Striking Wings’. Their reputation for quality has been further solidified with a few stints supporting Watain, as well as having one of the… Continue Reading →

The Dead – Deathsteps to Oblivion (Transcending Obscurity)

Destroying Divinity – Hollow Dominion (Lavadome Productions)

I don’t normally get my hands on the more brutal death metal releases but this one turned up just before Xmas, got a play and then got a few more, keeping my levels of anger in balance over the festive… Continue Reading →

Drowned – Idola Specus (Sepulchral Voice)

Drowned has been gearing up to release its debut record for an awfully long time. Formed in Berlin way back in 1992, they have thus far released seven demos and one EP over a twenty-year period spanning from 1993-2013. In… Continue Reading →
