Purgatory – Apotheosis Of Anti Light (War Anthem Records)

This German death metal band has been around for nigh on three decades releasing eight albums alongside various splits and EPs. I picked up on this band back in the early 2000s and was suitably impressed to continue following their… Continue Reading →

Kadavereich – Radiance Of Doom (Godz Of War)

Whilst the unprovoked and illegal invasion of Ukraine has led to carte blanche xenophobia in some circles, I believe that shunning all things Russian does nothing to bridge the divisions sown by so-called “leaders”. I hope that the citizens of… Continue Reading →

Necrophagous – In Chaos Descend (Transcending Obscurity Records)

Necrophagous are a Swedish death metal band. What if I told you that the line up of the band was comprised of dudes that used to be members of the mighty Entrails? Featuring Tommy Carlsson (Visceral Bleeding, ex-Entrails) – Vocals… Continue Reading →

Goatcraft – Sic Transit Gloria Mundi (I, Voidhanger)

Goats! Goats! Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaats! Bloody everywhere these days. Memes, gifs, movies, tiktok and of course heavy metal.  So, it is with an extra packet of animal feed in my pocket I approach Goatcraft. (Have you ever been in a petting zoo with goats? Chaos!). After a listen and some research I… Continue Reading →

Rexul – Erebus… Virtuous… Alpha… (FDA Records)

Monument Of Misanthropy – Unterweger (Transcending Obscurity)

Both the last album, ‘Anger Mismanagement’ and their last release, an EP titled ‘Capital Punisher’ were textbook demonstrations in clinical pummelling death metal with a slight tech edging. There has been a wholesale change in the line-up for the band… Continue Reading →

Sulphurous – The Black Mouth Of Sepulchre (Dark Descent)

If you listened to this Danish bands debut album ‘Dolorous Death Knell’ from 2018 then you know that Sulphurous are one of the most horrifying death metal bands that has surfaced in recent years. Everything about that debut reeked of… Continue Reading →

Bizarre – Invocation Codex (Transcending Obscurity)

Once again, this Indian label has picked up an exceptional death metal band to add to their roster, alongside their unique products that they always unveil for each of their releases. This Spanish bands rather innocuous moniker does not do… Continue Reading →

Emissary Of Suffering – Mournful Sights (Cold Knife Records)

Short, sharp, vicious and incendiary describes this debut effort by Emissary Of Suffering, who hail from Sweden. From what I can glean from the internet this act has been the formulation of two artists, Mattias Rasmusson and Nils Groth, both… Continue Reading →

Lvcifyre – The Broken Seal (NoEVDia / Dark Descent Records)

The progression witnessed by this UK blackened death metal outfit is there for all to hear through their decade and a half existence, from the raw dissonant delight of the debut ‘The Calling Depths’ through to the excellent oppressive horror… Continue Reading →

Nihilanth – Graceless Planet (Great Dane Records)

Four of the tracks on this debut album by French death metal act Nihilanth appeared on their debut EP of the same name that was released in January of this year. I was left very impressed with this debut album… Continue Reading →
