Perversity – Spiritual Negation (Great Dane)

This is a death metal band from Slovakia active since 1995. I had not heard of them before initially, although I do remember seeing an older release “In the Garment of Lust”, mainly due to the artwork. This is their… Continue Reading →

Nocturnus AD – Unicursal (Profound Lore Records)

When I covered this US bands album ‘Paradox’ I explained that Mike Browning formed this band after firstly creating After Death subsequent to his firing/leaving of the original Nocturnus in the 90s. After that he changed the name to Nocturnus… Continue Reading →

Baron – Beneath the Blazing Abyss (Transcending Obscurity)

Straight out of the mean streets of Helsinki come the five-piece of Finnish ear-manglers known as Baron. It turns out that this is their first album, after a smattering of Eps, a single and a demo since 2016. Their PR… Continue Reading →

Civerous – Maze Envy (20 Buck Spin)

A sophomore full length album from this Los Angeles based death/doom crew. I’m going to confess that I hadn’t heard of the band before, and in fact didn’t particularly “get” this album at first listen. I was listening to it… Continue Reading →

Vltimas – Epic (Season of Mist)

Has it really been five years since Vltimas released ‘Something Wicked Marches in’? The debut really struck a chord with me and is one that I return to pretty regularly. It’s fair to say I wasn’t in isolation and the… Continue Reading →

Abhoria – Depths (Prosthetic Records)

I thoroughly enjoyed this US band’s self-titled debut released in 2022, it was packed with blackened ferocity and this follow up continues that style extremely successfully. The opening tune ‘Emergence’ is very short and sort of acts like a prolonged… 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 →

Outergods – A Kingdom Built Upon the Wreckage of Heaven (Prosthetic Records)

A recent attendee at Bloodstock, Outergods express turbulence through death metal, black metal and grindcore, quoting Morbid Angel and Strapping Young Lad as influencers. This is the band’s debut album following a couple of singles which are both here. The… 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 →

Ageless Summoning – Corrupting The Entempled Plane (Dark Descent)

If, like me, you follow certain labels because they release top quality albums by an assortment of different artists then you probably have a penchant for this US label’s roster. This debut full length by UK’s Ageless Summoning is absolutely… 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 →

Ascended Dead – Evenfall Of The Apocalypse (20 Buck Spin)

In the intervening six years between this US band’s debut, ‘Abhorrent Manifestation’ and this sophomore the band has released two splits, a demo, a live album and a box set, meaning the band has been busy despite the half decade… Continue Reading →
