Ancst – Culture Of Brutality (Lifeforce Records)

If you have ever given this German band’s releases a listen then you know that they rarely stick to one particular style. Indeed throughout their 20 plus releases which consist of full lengths, EPs, splits and live outings they have… Continue Reading →

Fall Of Serenity – Open Wide, Oh Hell (Lifeforce Records)

This German act may well have been forgotten as the sands of time passed. After releasing third album ‘The Crossfire’ way back in 2007 there was a long period of silence until they somewhat ironically broke it with 2023 single… Continue Reading →

Decembre Noir – Your Sunset My Sunrise (Lifeforce Records)

It’s the fifth full length album by my calculations for German band Decembre Noir since 2014. I don’t believe I had the pleasure before, but usually Lifeforce Records are a fair barometer that the music within is likely to be… Continue Reading →

Besta – Terra Em Desapego (Lifeforce Records)

The band name wasn’t familiar to me but I could see that Besta have been pumping out death-grindcore for more than 10 years and that this is their fourth album release. I can also see that three of the members… Continue Reading →

Aetherian – At Storm’s Edge (Lifeforce Records)

Greece, like all other major European nations is a haven of all types of metal genres and melodic death metal is no stranger. However, there aren’t that many such bands who stand out for me given that the Greek metal… Continue Reading →

Depravation – IV: Letvm (Lifeforce Records)

Once again German band Depravation and German label Lifeforce Records have combined to spew out another full-length release full of Black/Death Metal violence and intensity with a touch of crustiness for good measure. ‘IV: Letvm’ is the band’s third album… Continue Reading →

Praise The Plague – The Obsidian Gate (Lifeforce Records)

Ah another day when your very ‘eavy, very ‘umble scribe turns round to find everyone else has walked forward while I’ve walked sideways. Hmm. This six tracker from relatively new but productive Berlin band Praise The Plague is sent PR… Continue Reading →

Hanging Garden – Skeleton Lake (Lifeforce Records)

It’s been 4 years since I reviewed ‘I Am Become’ and Hanging Garden released ‘Into That Good Night’ in the intervening years, where vocalist Riikka Hatakka became a permanent member. This is also the seventh album for the Finnish septet… Continue Reading →

Age Of Woe – Envenom (Lifeforce Records)

This is a third album by this death metal outfit comprising members that hail from Sweden, Germany and Finland, for a release teeming with creativity. After a quiet intro section on opener ‘Inferno’ the album utilises a fine fade-in technique… Continue Reading →
