Laceration is a very popular band name, especially in the USA, seeing as there are eight just from the US that have or have had this moniker. This version is from California and deals out some hefty death metal that… Continue Reading →
This is old school Death Metal from Brittany. Old School in the sound – reminiscent of Immolation, Malevolent Creation, Cannibal Corpse and even Death in parts. It is also old school in that this album is a compilation of two… Continue Reading →
This debut album by Spain’s Apparition has already had a release on Headsplit records in July of 2023 on cassette and CD, as I suspect the German label has picked it up for a further CD issue and of course… Continue Reading →
This US act has been flying under the radar for over a decade now, which is a shame as their back catalogue is awash with technically adroit brutal death metal. With a change in vocalist comes this fourth full length… Continue Reading →

Yet another fine death metal release on the Testimony roster, this time by Germany’s Temple Of Dread with their second album ‘World Sacrifice’. The band’s debut ‘Blood Craving Mantras’ was no slouch either from 2019, indeed I’d say both albums… Continue Reading →
This Greek band has been around since the mid-80s which is surprising to me considering my penchant for old school death metal especially of the underground variety and my continual trawling to find gems within the scene. With a plethora… Continue Reading →
Some classic religious baiting from a death metal trio here. Nothing new in that but when you consider the last time I encountered former Angelcorpse musician Gene Palubicki he was wearing priestly vestments and conducting a Catholic ceremony you may… Continue Reading →
