Haliphron – Anatomy Of Darkness (Listenable Records)

Fancy something spooky and symphonic for Halloween? Well this will do nicely. Dutch band Haliphron only rose from their graves in 2021 and have in their ranks various members past and present from Bleeding Gods, Isegrim, Sinister, Howitzer, Debauchery and… 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 →

Inhuman Depravity – The Experimendead (Gruesome Records)

A second album from Turkish brutal death metallers Inhuman Depravity, one that arrives seven years after their debut ‘Nocturnal Carnage By The Unholy Desecrator’ and continues more or less where that debut left off. The bands bone shattering brutality is… Continue Reading →

Infidel Reich – Reichenstein (Helter Skelter Productions)

Working class Death Metal”. “Political correctness must come to an end” Time has come to balance the scales” So say Infidel Reich an SJW baiting band from both sides of the Atlantic. Archeron founder and vocalist Vincent Crowley and ex Asphyx… Continue Reading →

Skinweaver – Gratification Eternal (Great Dane Records)

I’m a lucky bugger sometimes. “Send me anything you like” I said to the editor when the weekly review listings came out. I didn’t recognise any of the bands on it so wanted to absolve myself from any decision making… Continue Reading →

RAM – Rod (Metal Blade)

All hail Ramrod the destroyer! Sweden’s RAM had a particularly favourable release in ‘Svbversvm’ on their last outing and have developed with each release since I discovered them on their debut EP. A partial concept album based on Ramrod the… Continue Reading →

Resistance – The Seeds Within (Pavement)

Formed in 2004 as a metal influenced hardcore band, the Belgians of Resistance have gradually morphed their music from that genre to more of an extreme metal realm. Five albums in now, ‘The Seeds Within’ is described by the band’s… Continue Reading →

Keitzer – The Last Defence (FDA Rekotz)

There used to be a time when bands attempted, to varying degrees of success, to be the most violent, pugnacious and fastest band on the planet. Back in the day albums were adorned with stickers staking claim to said pedestal… Continue Reading →

Ferocity – The Sovereign (Deepsend)

Denmark has had its fair share of death metal bands over the years, but none of which have really risen to the heights of their Swedish (or even Norwegian, in my opinion) brethren. OK, Invocator were great, as were Iniquity… Continue Reading →

Vulture Industries – The Tower (Season of Mist)

I don’t know what Vulture Industries would think of being regarded as “the new Arcturus”. Whilst in some respects this is a compliment and there is a commonality in that they’re both from Norway, “The Tower” is Vulture Industries third… Continue Reading →

Nephren Ka – The Fall of Omnius (Kaotoxin)

When someone said to me `Dune influenced death metal’ I leapt at the chance to give this a listen. Call me strange if you like, but I enjoy metal albums with overblown fantasy concepts. With a lavish sci-fi cover, and… Continue Reading →
