Massacre – Necrolution (Agonia Records)

This is classic US death metal, a new release consisting of Kam Lee, vocalist and basic innovator of death metal vocals, in fact the same stable line up since 2021’s ‘Resurgeance’ release. Those who following the Swedish death metal scene… Continue Reading →

Cryptic Brood – Necrotic Flesh Bacteria (War Anthem Records)

These three delightful gentlemen hail from Germany. They’ve been active for over a decade, and as far as I can discern, “Necrotic Flesh Bacteria” is their third full length album. I was expecting something in the vein of Goregrind from… Continue Reading →

Damnation’s Hammer – Into The Silent Nebula (Massacre)

No denying I jumped on this when it came in. Been six years since the last Damnation’s Hammer album ‘Unseen Planets, Deadly Spheres’ and also that long since I last caught them live. So hopefully this album will help them… Continue Reading →

Rotpit – Let There Be Rot (War Anthem Records)

Well, at the very least Rotpit gets the best “AC/DC adjacent album pun of the month” award, with the amusing moniker “Let There Be Rot”. Turns out Rotpit are a project featuring the ever-prolific Jonny Pettersson (here on bass and… Continue Reading →

Heathen Foray – Oathbreaker (Massacre)

I do love bands who tell you exactly who and what they are without any pithering about, and well, if Heathen Foray aren’t the one of the best examples I’ve come across in years. The first track of Oathbreaker, which… Continue Reading →

Overlord – Fake Salvation (Great Dane)

Name checking some of the most awesome death metal bands in the PR material had me wanting to hear this. This is a project born during the pandemic, old school death metal akin to Massacre, Death, Cancer and Bolt Thrower,… Continue Reading →

Atomwinter – Sakrileg (Trollzorn)

My only listening experience with this German death metal band was with 2015’s ‘Iron Flesh’ which I enjoyed, so quite why I never kept up with the subsequent release ‘Catacombs’ in 2018 I have no idea. However, it has taken… Continue Reading →

Heads for the Dead – The Great Conjuration (Transcending Obscurity)

This international group hit the horror market hard with their rampant third release of gnarly death metal. The band consist of members of Revel In Flesh, Wombbath, Massacre and Sentient Horror to name but a few, so by the bands… Continue Reading →

Temple of Worms – Liber De Morbis (Great Dane Records)

French crew Temple of Worms hail from that bastion of all things death metal, that being – of course – um…Lyon. Still, while that region may not be best known for extreme metal, this is that band’s first full length… Continue Reading →

As The World Dies – Agonist (Transcending Obscurity)

The quality control at Transcending Obscurity continues to be of high value, as we come to this first album from Birmingham’s progressive death metallers, “As the World Dies”. Certainly, lead guitarist Scott Fairfax is going to be a familiar name… Continue Reading →

Wombbath – Agma (Transcending Obscurity Records)

Quite possibly one of the most underrated and overlooked death metal bands of the last 30 years, Sweden’s Wombbath may have a moniker conjuring up images of sonic rancidity but they offer so much more than that, indeed their latest… Continue Reading →

Massacre – Resurgence (Nuclear Blast)

When you list the classic Death Metal acts of old you probably think Morbid Angel, Deicide, Obituary, Death etc. Yet there is a sort of sub level to that, Possessed, Immolation, and our subject for today the mighty Massacre! I… Continue Reading →
